The label ply is foldable about the fold line to define upper and lower label sections, with the upper label section overlying the lower label section when the label ply is folded, and the top face of the upper label section being operable to receive package address indicia thereon. The upper label section includes a separation line of weakness defining a border portion and a separable central portion. The upper label section includes adhesive applied to the bottom face along at least part of the border portion. The lower label section includes a dividing line of weakness defining a connecting portion and an end portion, with the connecting portion extending between the fold line and dividing line. The end portion is at least in part positioned underneath the central portion of the upper label section when the label ply is folded, with separation of the central portion from the border portion providing access to the end portion thereunder. | 05-22-2014 |
20140190050 | Duplex Printed Package Assembly Documents - A package assembly document comprises a top ply and a bottom ply. The top ply has a first shipping label and a first return label. The bottom ply has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface comprises silicone and is configured for releasable attachment of each of the first shipping label and the first return label. The bottom surface has indicia printed thereon. The indicia contains a list outlining contents of a package to which the first shipping label is to be adhered to.

20140267477 | DUPLEX PRINTER WITH MOVABLE PRINT HEAD - A duplex printer system includes a double-sided label web and a duplex printer operable to print both sides of the label web. The label includes exposed adhesive on a first side thereof. The duplex printer includes a printer frame and a pair of print heads arranged to print respective sides of the label web. One of the print heads is shiftably mounted relative to the printer frame for movement into and out of a printing position, in which the print head is operable to print within a printable region of the first side. The print head is selectively shifted out of the printing position so as to avoid contact with exposed adhesive during label web advancement. | 09-18-2014 |
20150022607 | DUPLEX PRINTER WITH MOVABLE PRINT HEAD - A duplex printer system includes a double-sided label web and a duplex printer operable to print both sides of the label web. The label includes exposed adhesive on a first side thereof. The duplex printer includes a printer frame and first and second print heads arranged to print respective sides of the label web. The first print head is shiftably mounted relative to the printer frame for movement into and out of a printing position, in which the first print head is operable to print within a printable region of the first side. The first print head is selectively shifted out of the printing position so as to avoid contact with exposed adhesive during label web advancement. The first print head includes a printer interface positioned in printing engagement with the label web when the first print head is shifted to the printing position. The printer interface is spaced from a first adhesive side area and is thereby prevented from engaging the exposed adhesive applied thereto when the first print head is shifted to the printing position. | 01-22-2015 |
