Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011085790A2] In order to label containers, in particular returnable beverage bottles, having self-adhesive yet dry, in particular highly transparent and/or removable labels, labels coated with an adhesive on at least one side are taken from a supply and then smoothly applied to an outer container surface. The adhesive layer is composed of gelatin or a material that comprises gelatin in an adequate amount. Each label and/or the outer container surface to be labeled is/are wetted with a liquid that partially dissolves the gelatin, in particular with water, before, during, or after being taken from the supply. After the wetting step, the label is transferred onto the associated outer container surface with the surface of the label containing gelatin, and in the process the liquid that partially dissolves the gelatin is enclosed. In order to produce such labels, an adhesive film made of gelatin liquefied by supplying heat or made of a material containing gelatin in a sufficient amount and liquefied by supplying heat is continuously dispensed in liquefied form from a dispensing nozzle having the shape of a wide slot and is applied to a film web. The adhesive layer of the film web coated in such a way is dried until there is a residual content of moisture remaining in the adhesive layer, until the adhesive layer is not tacky.
