First Claim
1. A heat seal laminate comprising:
- a facestock having an upper surface and a lower surface;
a heat-activatable layer adhered to said lower surface of said facestock;
a laminating adhesive overlying said upper surface of said facestock;
a carrier layer adhered to said laminating adhesive; and
the heat-activatable layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of the heat activatable layer being adhered to said lower surface of said facestock, a layer of ink or graphics overlying the lower surface of the heat-activatable layer;
said heat-activatable layer comprising a heat-activatable adhesive or thermoplastic film selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, polyamides, polyester copolymers, polyurethanes, ionomers based on sodium or zinc salts of ethylene methacrylic acid, polyacrylonitriles, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene methacrylic acid, ethylene methyl acrylate, ethylene acrylic acid, ethylene ethyl acrylate, and mixtures of two or more thereof.
