Abstract:
A continuous process of making overlays for scanning hooks comprising the steps of:providing a first roll of thin plastic sheet stock which is foldable, providing a second roll of sheet stock carrying an outer release coating which forms a release surface having a characteristic which causes adhesive labels to adhere thereto, when said labels are applied, but which allows such adhesive labels to be peeled cleanly from the release surface without substantial tearing or delamination of the labels; bringing the sheets from the two rolls together while unwinding the rolls and laminating the sheets to form a laminated web with the release surface on one side thereof; thereafter cutting the laminated web to form a plurality of blanks of a configuration for forming overlays, said blanks being cut in a configuration which includes an elongate main body portion and a tab portion joined to one end of said body portion for receiving labels, said blanks being cut such that said tab portions are covered by the release layer; whereby when said blank is installed as an overlay on a scanning hook, said tab portion will present an outwardly exposed label surface which will receive and retain adhesive labels and also permit easy removal and replacement of such labels.
