Abstract:
1. A runnable splice comprising: a first thermal imprintable label stock having a first face layer of thermal sensitive paper removably adhered to a first silicone liner by a first adhesive, the first thermal label stock having a first end disposed transverse to a length of the first thermal label stock; a second thermal imprintable label stock having a second face layer of thermal sensitive paper removably adhered to a second silicone liner by a second adhesive, the second thermal label stock having a second end disposed transverse to a length of the second thermal label stock, the first and second ends being disposed in a parallel spaced apart relationship to form a splice gap therebetween; a third thermal imprintable label disposed over said splice gap and adhered to both the first and second face layers for enabling thermal printing over said splice gap; and a splice tape disposed over said splice gap and adhered to both the first and second silicone liners, the adhesive of said splice tape to the silicone liner enabling removal of the liners from the face layers without separation of the liners from one another, said splice tape having a width greater than said third imprintable label in order to insure bonding between the third imprintable label and the first and second layers.
