International Classification:

G09F 3/14

US Classification:

40665, 24 17 B

Abstract:

A labeling band assembly comprising a web of a tag material and an elastic film, where the web of the tag material has a central portion coated with a release agent disposed between a pair of lateral edge portions that are free of the release agent. The elastic film has a first portion at least partially disposed over the release agent and second portions bonded to the lateral edge portions to define connection zones. The labeling band assembly also comprises perforations extending along the web to define a plurality of labeling bands.

International Classification:

G09F 3/04

US Classification:

40665, 427289

Abstract:

A method of forming an elastic labeling band. The method includes covering a central portion of a web of tag material with a release agent, advancing the web of tag material longitudinally and disposing a layer of molten elastomer over the advancing web of tag material, including over the release agent on the central portion thereof. The layer of molten elastomer is disposed over the web of tag material so that the elastomer bonds only to those portions of the web not covered with the release agent. The method includes curing the elastomer to define, with the web bonded thereto, an advancing web assembly, and separating a longitudinal segment from the web assembly to define an elastic labeling band.
