Abstract:
1. A method for attaching a label to a surface of an item, the label comprising a carrier layer and a bonding layer, wherein the bonding layer comprises an acrylic adhesive, the method comprising: heating the bonding layer using infrared light such that the infrared light has a spectral peak and a maximum spectral irradiance at a peak wavelength of the spectral peak, wherein the acrylic adhesive has an absorbing spectral region that substantially matches with said peak wavelength, such that the absorbing spectral region spectrally overlaps at least 50% of a full-width-at-half-maximum width of the spectral peak, and wherein the absorbing spectral region is at wavelengths equal to or greater than 3 μm.
