Selectively Metallized Heat Transfer Label

US Patent:
7910203, Mar 22, 2011
Filed:
Aug 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/848855
Inventors:
Michael B. Colella - Southington CT, US
Paul Giusto - Feeding Hills MA, US
Eileen M. Norris - Tolland CT, US
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
B41M 5/40, B32B 7/12, B32B 15/04
US Classification:
428343, 428344, 428346, 428347, 428352, 428354, 428 326, 428 3277, 428 3278, 428 3279, 156230, 156233, 156234
Abstract:
A selectively metallized heat transfer label for transfer to a substrate includes a support portion having a carrier layer and a release layer applied to the carrier layer, and a transfer portion including a protective layer applied to the release layer, a metallizable layer applied to the protective layer, a metal layer applied to the metallizable layer, a metal transferring adhesive layer applied to the metal layer and configured to adhere to both the metal layer and the desired substrate and a non-metal transferring ink layer applied to the metal layer and configured to adhere to the desired substrate but not to the metal layer. When heat and pressure are applied to the carrier, the metal transferring adhesive adheres to both the metal layer and the substrate while the non-transferring ink layer adheres only to the substrate.

Halo-Free Heat Transfer Label With Pigmented Adhesive

US Patent:
8507616, Aug 13, 2013
Filed:
Apr 27, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/095507
Inventors:
Weide Victor Yang - Longmeadow MA, US
Alan C. Grotefend - Elgin IL, US
Michael B. Colella - Southington CT, US
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
C08G 18/08, C08G 18/80, C09J 175/04, B44C 1/17
US Classification:
525458, 525457, 524589
Abstract:
A pigmented adhesive, halo-free heat transfer label is created when adhesive properties are incorporated into colored inks used to print graphics on labels for items such as apparel. The resulting label has a halo-free graphic applied thereto that eliminates the need for a separate application of adhesive to the label. A pigmented adhesive composition for use with heat transfer type labels includes a hydroxyl-functional polyurethane dispersion, one or more polyurethane dispersions different from the hydroxyl-functional polyurethane dispersion, a blocked cross-linking agent, a catalyst for the blocked cross-linking agent, a pigment dispersion, and an adhesive powder, which are combined prior to the formation of a graphic created using the combined mixture, on the release layer of a substrate.

US Patent:
7014895, Mar 21, 2006
Filed:
Nov 17, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/990851
Inventors:
Alan C. Grotefend - Bloomingdale IL, US
Paul Giusto - Feeding Hills MA, US
Michael B. Colella - Southington CT, US
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works, Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
B41M 5/40
US Classification:
428 3281, 428 3262, 428 3269, 428 3271, 428 3272, 428 3286, 428913, 428914, 427146, 427147, 427148, 156230, 156247, 156289, 1562733, 1562735, 1562785
Abstract:
An ultraviolet post cure heat transfer label for application to an item includes a carrier web, a release coat applied to the carrier web and a composition including a cationic ultraviolet curable ink applied to the release coat. The ink has a solvent in a concentration of at a least about 20 percent by weight of the ink. The ink is dried in a non-UV process to form a storable film on the carrier web. The composition is transferred to the item and the ink is cured, by application of ultraviolet energy, following transfer to the item. A method for making the label and a method for marking an item are also disclosed.
