Abstract:
1. A method of applying labels having a pressure-sensitive adhesive to moving structure comprising the steps of: positioning adjacent the moving structure a fan-folded stack of web label product having alternating, reversely folded plies presenting fold lines that are formed by a series of transversely extending, alternately oppositely indented creases, each of said creases being substantially devoid of perforations, each of said creases having perforation cuts that collectively comprise no more than about 25% of the length of the crease, said web label product comprising an elongated liner having attached thereto at spaced locations along the length thereof labels to be applied to the moving structure; pulling the web label product in a direction to progressively unfold it from the stack; and separating successive labels from unfolded stretches of the liner and adhering them to the structure as the structure moves adjacent the liner.
