Abstract:
1. A method of providing a reusable or temporary labeling surface on the surface of an object for receiving a removable element, said method consisting of: (a) applying, in a substantially vertical mounted position, to the surface of said object, an embossed support comprising a resin film having an RFID chip embedded in said resin as part of said embossed support, wherein: said resin film is chosen from the group comprising at least one of the following of a thermoplastic resin that does not use a coated release substance and has no inherent release characteristics or a thermoset resin that does not use a coated release substance and has no inherent release characteristics, wherein said resin film is formed from at least one of the following of a roll, a sheet, a fan-fold, or a rigid form, and said resin having a receiving side and an opposite side, and at least one embossed surface on said receiving side for receiving said removable element wherein: said embossed surface extends through said receiving side, but does not extend through to said opposite side of said resin and is pattern embossed with elevated peaks and in a substantially linear arrangement and has a reduced surface area of contact that reduces a pre-embossed surface area of said receiving side by a factor between 20-80% and allows for removal of said removable element; and (b) providing an affixing element on the opposite side of the resin film of the embossed surface, said affixing element having a bond that is greater than the attraction forces between said embossed surface and said removable element; wherein said reduced surface area of said embossed surface has been patterned in order to minimize blocking and so as to facilitate the release of the removable element by contacting said removable element only at said elevated peaks of said embossed surface.
