Abstract

Self-adhesive label with a suspension loop (1) which is fastened to its adhesive-free surface and made of a flexible film and of which a first region (1A) is firmly connected to the label (2) and a second region (1B) lies loosely upon the label (2). That surface of the suspension loop (1) which is turned towards the label (2) has a continuous adhesive layer which, in the second region (1B), is covered by a non-adhesive layer. As a result, manufacturing is simplified and the mechanical loadability of the suspension loop is increased. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Selbstklebeetikett mit einer an seiner klebstofffreien Oberfläche befestigten aus einer flexiblen Folie bestehenden Aufhängelasche, von der ein erster Bereich fest mit dem Etikett verbunden ist und ein zweiter Bereich lose auf dem Etikett aufliegt.The invention relates to a self-adhesive label with a hanging flap attached to its adhesive-free surface and consisting of a flexible film, of which a first area is firmly connected to the label and a second area lies loosely on the label.

Ein Selbstklebeetikett dieser Art ist aus den Unterlagen des deutschen Gebrauchsmusters G 87 05 092.7 bekannt. Mit dem bekannten Selbstklebeetikett können Gegenstände, insbesondere Arzneimittelflaschen, automatisch etikettiert werden. Das heißt, die mit den Etiketten belegte Trägerfolie wird über eine Spendelippe gezogen, wobei die Etiketten sich mit ihrer vorauslaufenden Kante abheben, von einem Walzwerk gegriffen und auf einen Gegenstand, wie beispielsweise eine Arzneiampulle, gepreßt werden. Mit dem bekannten Selbstklebeetikett können daher Gegenstände, wie etwa Arzneimittelampullen, in einem automatischen Vorgang sowohl etikettiert als auch mit einer Aufhängelasche versehen werden.A self-adhesive label of this type is known from the documents of the German utility model G 87 05 092.7. Objects, in particular pharmaceutical bottles, can be automatically labeled with the known self-adhesive label. That is, the carrier film covered with the labels is pulled over a dispensing lip, the labels rising with their leading edge, gripped by a rolling mill and pressed onto an object, such as a medicine ampoule. With the known self-adhesive label, objects such as pharmaceutical ampoules can therefore be labeled in an automatic process as well as provided with a hanging tab.

Bei dem bekannten Etikett ist die Aufhängelasche durch partielles Verschweißen mit dem Etikett verbunden. Diese Technik ist jedoch nur bei bestimmten Materialien, nämlich bei schweißbaren Materialien, anwendbar. Infolge des Schweißvorganges ist die Etikettenherstellung vergleichsweise aufwendig und teuer.In the known label, the hanging tab is connected to the label by partial welding. However, this technique is only applicable to certain materials, namely weldable materials. As a result of the welding process, label production is comparatively complex and expensive.

Aus der US-A-4 727 667 ist ein Selbstklebeetikett bekannt, das an seiner mit Klebstoff beschichteten Rückseite stellenweise mit einem nichtklebenden Material bedruckt ist, um die Klebekraft an den bedruckten Stellen herabzusetzen.From US-A-4 727 667 a self-adhesive label is known which is partially printed on its rear side coated with adhesive with a non-adhesive material in order to reduce the adhesive force at the printed areas.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs genannte Selbstklebe etikett dahingehend zu verbessern, daß es schnell und somit billig herstellbar ist, auch aus nicht-schweißbaren Materialen gefertigt werden kann und zugleich eine größere Belastungsfähigkeit der Aufhängelasche aufweist.The invention has for its object the self-adhesive mentioned above To improve the label so that it is quick and therefore inexpensive to manufacture, can also be made from non-weldable materials and at the same time has a greater load capacity of the hanging tab.

Diese Aufgabe ist dadurch gelöst, daß die dem Etikett zugewandte Oberfläche der Aufhängelasche eine durchgehende Klebstoffschicht aufweist, die in dem zweiten Bereich von einer nichtklebenden Schicht bedeckt ist und daß der zweite Bereich die Form eines Bügels aufweist, der von dem Etikett abgehoben werden kann.This object is achieved in that the surface of the hanging tab facing the label has a continuous adhesive layer which is covered in the second region by a non-adhesive layer and in that the second region has the shape of a bracket which can be lifted off the label.

Es hat sich überraschenderweise gezeigt, daß durch die Verwendung der Klebstoffschicht in dem ersten Bereich und dem dadurch hervorgerufenen Verkleben zwischen dem ersten Bereich der Aufhängelasche und dem Ettikett eine sichere Verbindung hergestellt werden kann, insbesondere, wenn ein Kleber verwendet wird, der eine besondere Festigkeit gegen Scherkräfte aufweist. Das erfindungsgemäße Etikett kann daher auch für größere und somit schwerere Arzneimittelflaschen verwendet werden, ohne daß die Gefahr bestünde, daß die Aufängelasche ausreißen könnte. Hinsichtlich der Verwendung von Materialien besteht praktisch keine Einschränkung. Insbesondere ist die Verwendung von Polyester vorteilhaft. Überraschenderweise hat sich auch gezeigt, daß die Etikettenherstellung vereinfacht wird, obwohl eine partiell klebende Schicht erzeugt werden muß. Dadurch, daß jedoch erfindungsgemäß die dem Etikett zugewandte Oberfläche der Aufhängelasche eine durchgehende Klebstoffschicht aufweist und nur in dem zweiten Bereich von einer nichtklebenden Schicht bedeckt ist, eignet sich das Selbstklebeetikett gemäß der Erfindung für die automatische Herstellung unter vergleichsweise geringem technischen Aufwand. Der lose aufliegende Bereich weist die Form eines Bügels auf, der von dem Etikett abgehoben werden kann. Dieser lose Bereich dient gewissermaßen als Aufhängeöse.It has surprisingly been found that the use of the adhesive layer in the first area and the resultant adhesion between the first area of the hanging tab and the label can produce a secure connection, in particular if an adhesive is used which is particularly resistant to Has shear forces. The label according to the invention can therefore also be used for larger and thus heavier pharmaceutical bottles without the risk that the hanging tab could tear out. There is practically no restriction on the use of materials. The use of polyester is particularly advantageous. Surprisingly, it has also been shown that label production is simplified, although a partially adhesive layer has to be produced. However, the fact that, according to the invention, the surface of the hanging tab facing the label has a continuous adhesive layer and is only covered in the second region by a non-adhesive layer, the self-adhesive label according to the invention is suitable for automatic production with comparatively little technical effort. The loosely lying area has the shape of a bracket that can be lifted off the label. This loose area serves as a kind of hanging loop.

Vorzugsweise besteht die Aufhängelasche aus transparentem Material. Dadurch wird das Erscheinungsbild des eigentlichen Etiketts durch die Aufhängelasche, die kaum auffällt, nicht beeinträchtigt, insbesondere dann, wenn nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sowohl die Klebstoffschicht als auch die nichtklebende Schicht an der Aufhängelasche transparent sind. Die Transparenz der Aufhängelasche ermöglicht des weiteren die Möglichkeit, diese großflächig an dem Etikett derart anzubringen, daß das Etikett weitgehend überdeckt wird. Die Lesbarkeit der Beschriftung des Etiketts bleibt dabei erhalten. Durch die großflächige Anordnung der Aufhängelasche wird eine sichere Haftverbindung zwischen der Aufhängelasche und dem Etikett erreicht. Auch das Abheben des freien bügelförmigen Bereichs wird erleichtert, wenn die Aufhängelasche möglichst groß ist, also das eigentliche Etikett weitgehend überdeckt.The hanging tab is preferably made of transparent material. As a result, the appearance of the actual label is not adversely affected by the hanging tab, which is hardly noticeable, in particular when, according to a further advantageous embodiment, both the adhesive layer and the non-adhesive layer on the hanging tab are transparent. The transparency of the hanging tab also allows the possibility of applying these over a large area to the label in such a way that the label is largely covered. The legibility of the label on the label is preserved. The large arrangement of the hanging tab ensures a secure adhesive connection between the hanging tab and the label. The lifting of the free bow-shaped area is also facilitated if the hanging tab is as large as possible, that is to say largely covers the actual label.

Das Abheben des lose aufliegenden Bereichs der Aufhängelasche wird des weiteren dadurch erleichtert, daß dieser zumindest teilweise über den Rand des Etiketts etwas übersteht. An der überstehenden Stelle kann der lose Bereich der Aufhängelasche leicht gegriffen und angehoben werden.The lifting off of the loosely lying area of the hanging tab is further facilitated in that it at least partially protrudes somewhat beyond the edge of the label. The loose area of the hanging tab can be easily gripped and lifted at the protruding point.

Das Anheben des bügelförmigen Teils der Aufhängelasche wird des weiteren dadurch erleichtert, daß zwischen dem ersten Bereich und dem zweiten bügelförmigen Bereich ein Durchbruch in der Aufhängelasche vorgesehen ist.The lifting of the bow-shaped part of the suspension bracket is further facilitated in that an opening is provided in the suspension bracket between the first area and the second bracket-shaped area.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand des in den Figuren 1 bis 3 schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

Figur 1:
ein Selbstklebeetikett auf einer Trägerfolie;
Figur 2:
das Selbstklebeetikett der Figur 1, angebracht auf einer Arzneiampulle;
Figur 3:
eine weitere Trägerfolie bestückt mit einer Aufhängelasche.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown schematically in FIGS. 1 to 3. It shows:
Figure 1:
a self-adhesive label on a carrier film;
Figure 2:
the self-adhesive label of Figure 1, attached to a drug ampoule;
Figure 3:
another carrier film equipped with a hanging tab.

In Figur 1 ist ein Selbstklebeetikett 2 zu erkennen, das auf der silikonisierten Glattschicht einer Trägerfolie 3 vorübergehend haftet. Das Etikett 2 trägt einen üblichen Aufdruck, der in der Zeichnung symbolisch durch die Buchstabenfolgen A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H angedeutet ist. An der Oberfläche des Etiketts 2 ist eine Aufhängelasche 1 befestigt. Sowohl das Etikett 2 als auch die Aufhängelasche 1 bestehen aus Polyester. Die Aufhängelasche 1, die das Etikett weitgehend überdeckt, ist transparent, so daß die darunterliegende Beschriftung des Etiketts 2 durch die Aufhängelasche 1 hindurch gut lesbar ist.A self-adhesive label 2 can be seen in FIG. 1, which temporarily adheres to the siliconized smooth layer of a carrier film 3. The label 2 bears a customary imprint, which is symbolically indicated in the drawing by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. A hanging tab 1 is attached to the surface of the label 2. Both the label 2 and the hanging tab 1 are made of polyester. The The hanging flap 1, which largely covers the label, is transparent, so that the labeling on the label 2 underneath is easy to read through the hanging flap 1.

Die Aufhängelasche 1 besteht aus einem bügelförmigen Teil 1B (in der Zeichnung zum Zwecke der Hervorhebung gepunktet), der nur lose auf dem Etikett aufliegt und von diesem abgebogen werden kann. Die Aufhängelasche 1 weist ferner einen zweiten Bereich 1A auf, der mit dem Etikett 2 verklebt ist, um so einen sicheren Halt zwischen der Aufhängelasche 1 und dem Etikett 2 zu gewährleisten. Der lose aufliegende Bügel 1B des Etiketts steht an der oberen Kante des Etiketts etwas vor, so daß er dort ohne Mühe gegriffen werden kann. Das Greifen wird insbesondere dadurch erleichtert, daß der bügelförmige Bereich 1B durch einen Durchbruch 7 in der Aufhängelasche von dem festgeklebten Bereich 1A getrennt ist. Da die Aufhängelasche 1 aus einer flexiblen Materialschicht besteht, kann das Etikett in der üblichen Weise verarbeitet werden, d.h. die Trägerfolie 3 wird über eine Spendelippe gezogen, so daß sich das Etikett 2 samt seiner Aufhängelasche 1 von dem Trägerband mit seiner vorauslaufenden Kante abhebt und von den bekannten Verarbeitungsmaschinen gegriffen und verarbeitet werden kann.The hanging tab 1 consists of a bow-shaped part 1B (dotted in the drawing for the purpose of highlighting), which rests only loosely on the label and can be bent off by it. The hanging tab 1 also has a second area 1A, which is glued to the label 2, in order to ensure a secure hold between the hanging tab 1 and the label 2. The loosely resting bracket 1B of the label protrudes somewhat at the upper edge of the label so that it can be gripped there with ease. The gripping is facilitated in particular by the fact that the bow-shaped area 1B is separated from the glued area 1A by an opening 7 in the hanging tab. Since the hanging tab 1 consists of a flexible material layer, the label can be processed in the usual way, i.e. the carrier film 3 is pulled over a dispensing lip, so that the label 2, including its hanging tab 1, lifts off the carrier tape with its leading edge and can be gripped and processed by the known processing machines.

Figur 2 zeigt das Etikett 2, angebracht auf einer Arzneiampulle 4, die für eine Infusion zur Verfügung steht, und aus diesem Grunde auf dem Kopf, d.h. mit dem Auslaß nach unten, gezeichnet ist. Es ist ersichtlich, daß der bügelförmige Bereich 1B der Aufhängelasche 1 von dem Etikett 2 abgehoben und entlang den gestrichelten Linien 5, die die Grenzlinien zwischen dem Bereich 1A und dem Bereich 1B darstellen, umgebogen ist, so daß der bügelförmige Bereich 1B als freier Aufhänger für die Arzneimittelampulle 4 zur Verfügung steht.Figure 2 shows the label 2 attached to a medicament ampoule 4 available for infusion and for this reason on the head, i.e. with the outlet downwards. It can be seen that the bow-shaped area 1B of the hanging tab 1 is lifted off the label 2 and is bent along the dashed lines 5, which represent the boundary lines between the area 1A and the area 1B, so that the bow-shaped area 1B as a free hanger for the drug ampoule 4 is available.

Die Herstellung des Selbstklebeetiketts wird nachfolgend anhang der Figur 3 erläutert. Figur 3 zeigt eine weitere Trägerfolie 6 mit einer silikonisierten Glattschicht, auf der eine Aufhängelasche 1 vorübergehend haftet. Wenngleich nur eine Aufhängelasche gezeigt ist, versteht es sich von selbst, daß auf der bandförmigen Endlosträgerfolie 6 in regelmäßigen Abständen derartige Aufhängelaschen angeordnet sind. Die Herstellung dieser Trägerfolie mit den Aufhängelaschen 1 geschieht wie folgt: eine mit einem Klebstoff mit besonders hoher Scherkraftbeständigkeit beschichtete Polyesterfolie wird auf das klebstoffabweisende Trägerband 6 auflaminiert. Vor dem Auflaminieren wird jedoch das Trägerband 6 an den Stellen, auf denen jewils der Bereich 1B der Aufhängelasche zu liegen kommt, mit einer transparenten, kaum auffallenden UV-härtenden Druckfarbe bedruckt. Der Klebstoff auf der Polyesterfolie nimmt die Druckfarbe in dem Bereich 1B an, wodurch die Klebwirkung in dem Bereich 1B aufgehoben wird. Danach wird wie bei der Etikettenherstellung die Polyesterfolie ausgestanzt, so daß sie die Form der gezeigten Aufhängelasche 1 annimmt. Bei dieser Stanzung wird die Trägerfolie von den Stanzwerkzeugen nicht durchdrungen. Bei einer zweiten Stanzung wird von der Seite der Trägerfolie her der Durchbruch 7 ausgestanzt.The production of the self-adhesive label is explained below in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 shows a further carrier film 6 with a siliconized smooth layer, on which a hanging tab 1 temporarily adheres. Although only one hanging tab is shown, it goes without saying that on the band-shaped endless carrier film 6 in regular Intervals of such hanging tabs are arranged. This carrier film with the hanging tabs 1 is produced as follows: a polyester film coated with an adhesive with a particularly high shear resistance is laminated onto the adhesive-repellent carrier tape 6. Before the lamination, however, the carrier tape 6 is printed with a transparent, barely noticeable UV-curing printing ink at the points on which the area 1B of the hanging tab is located. The adhesive on the polyester film takes on the ink in the area 1B, whereby the adhesive effect in the area 1B is canceled. Then the polyester film is punched out, as in label production, so that it takes on the shape of the hanging tab 1 shown. With this punching, the carrier foil is not penetrated by the punching tools. In a second punching, the opening 7 is punched out from the side of the carrier film.

Die Aufhängelasche gemäß Figur 3 kann von der Trägerfolie 6 in einem automatischen Spendeverfahren auf jedes beliebige Etikett 2 aufgeklebt werden. Durch die oben geschilderte Vorbehandlung der Trägerfolie 6 wird sichergestellt, daß die Aufhängelasche 1 nur in dem Bereich 1A klebt, in dem Bereich 1B jedoch nur lose aufliegt. Da die Trägerfolie zur Schaffung des Durchbruchs 7 ebenfalls durchstanzt ist, kann das Material aus dem Durchbruch 7 leicht automatisch entfernt werden (beispielsweise beim Aufwickeln).The hanging tab according to FIG. 3 can be glued onto any label 2 by the carrier film 6 in an automatic dispensing process. The pretreatment of the carrier film 6 described above ensures that the hanging tab 1 only sticks in the area 1A, but only lies loosely in the area 1B. Since the carrier film is also punched through to create the opening 7, the material can easily be removed from the opening 7 automatically (for example when winding up).

Wie oben beschrieben weist das Verfahren zur Herstellung des Etiketts nur die bekannten Schritte des Auflaminierens, Bedruckens und Ausstanzens auf, die automatisch und mit hoher Geschwindigkeit durchgeführt werden können. Komplizierte Schritte, wie etwa Verschweißungen, sind nicht erforderlich.As described above, the method for producing the label has only the known steps of laminating, printing and punching out, which can be carried out automatically and at high speed. Complicated steps, such as welding, are not necessary.
