ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a lamination with a dual image receiving capability and a method of making such a lamination. Specifically, in the labeling industry, there is a need for a laminate in which there is a protected thermally responsive information receiving surface with a protective layer providing a second information receiving surface.
The invention provides a laminate for forming an information displaying label which is capable of displaying an image on a protective layer and on the underlying thermally responsive coating. The protective layer provides for image printing on its own surface and provides for the formation of heat activated images on an underlying coating. The protective layer is transmissive to light so that both images may be viewed simultaneously. The invention further provides a laminate that protects the coating from excessive heat, moisture, chemicals, abrasions and ultraviolet light.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to laminates, particularly a substrate with a thermally responsive coating in adhesive engagement with an overlying protective layer. The invention provides a lamination with a dual image receiving capability, one on the coating and the other on the protective layer.
A primary purpose of the invention is to provide a lamination which allows image formation on the coating by the selective application of heat and allows label printing on the protective layer.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide a protective layer which has heat transmissive and light transmissive properties and is environmentally resistant to heat, moisture, chemicals and abrasions.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide a protective layer with surface characteristics specially adapted to accept ink printing.
Another purpose is to provide a lamination as described which uses an adhesive with an ultraviolet light inhibitor.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide a method for forming an information displaying label as described.
Other purposes will appear in the ensuing specification, drawings and claims.
