Definitions

• TITLE SUPPORTING FILM FOR ADHESIVE LABELS
• the present invention deals with a supporting film for adhesive labels.
• a supporting film for adhesive labels As known, for labelling vessels like bottles with adhesive labels, reels of silicone paper are used in which the label are fixed, such labels already having an adhesive that will be used to attach them onto the vessel or bottle.
• silicone paper is used, while for high speeds, a support made of PET, completely transparent and without stamping, is used.
• the labelling machine rewinds the reel of paper or plastic film on a cardboard or plastic tube without any particular care.
• Object of the present invention therefore, is recovering discarded reels of supporting films for adhesive labels, completely doing without disposal problems of these reels and tecovering and exploiting valuable materials.
• FIG. 1 shows in a side view a length of the supporting film for adhesive labels
• - figure 2 shows, in a schematic view, the process for recovering the supporting film and its use for a following labelling
• - figure 3 shows in a plan and schematic view a labelling machine that uses the film on a reel with adhesive labels, and the same film for a labelling that completely wraps the vessel.
• 1 designates a film made of PET on a face 3 of which adhesive labels 2 are fixed.
• the label printout 5 is included along the whole film.
• the labels can be made of PET.
• the adhesive labels are the stamps and the supporting film has printed thereon the labels for the same bottle, as shown in figure 2.
• the diagram in figure 2 provides for a reel 10 of film 1, on the front face of which small labels or stamps 2 are applied, that are transferred (in the station 14 in figure 3) on bottles 11 through known techniques.
• the film that is unwound when labelling the adhesive labels is rewound in order to form a reel 12 carrying printed labels 5.
• the reel 12 is reused on the same machine, as shown in figure 3, in a station 13 that performs the unwinding and cutting of the film to form labels that are transferred through known techniques on the bottle.
• non-adhesive labels Since the non-adhesive labels must wind the whole vessel, they must have a development that is shghtiy greater than the small labels or stamps: therefore, the reels of film that are recovered are not enough for supplying a labelling machine and therefore they will have to be reintegrated with reels of non-recovered labels.
