Abstract

A method for forming a label and a label formed thereby comprising a chip affixed to a sheet, the chip being provided on a support, where the label is formed by applying the support to a surface of the sheet and by printing first information which individualizes the label, characterized in that the support and the surface thus form a part of the label where the first printed information is readable.

Claims

1. A method for forming a label comprising a chip affixed to a sheet, the chip being provided on a support where the label is formed by applying said support to a surface of the sheet and by printing first information which individualizes the label, characterized in that said support and said surface thus form a part of the label where the first printed information is readable.

2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that a radiofrequency chip is affixed, the chip containing second information individualizing the label.

3. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the first information is printed onto the surface, before applying thereto a transparent or translucent support covering, at least partially, said first information.

4. The method according to claim 3, characterized in that the support is applied in such a way that the chip is offset beyond one edge of the sheet.

5. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the first information is printed after having applied a printable support to the surface.

6. The device for implementing a method according to claim 1.

15. The method according to claim 2, characterized in that the first information is printed onto the surface, before applying thereto a transparent or translucent support covering, at least partially, said first information.

16. The method according to claim 2, characterized in that the first information is printed after having applied a printable support to the surface.

17. The device for implementing a method according to claim 2.

18. The device for implementing a method according to claim 6.

7. A label comprising a chip affixed to a sheet, the chip being provided on a support applied to a surface of the sheet, said label comprising first written information individualizing the label, characterized in that said support and said surface form a part of the label where the first information is readable.

8. The label according to claim 7, characterized in that the support is translucent or transparent.

9. The label according to claim 8, characterized in that the chip is offset relative to one edge of the sheet.

10. The label according to claim 8, characterized in that the chip comprises a transparent or translucent antenna.

11. The label according to claim 10, characterized in that the chip and its antenna are arranged between the support and the surface.

12. The label according to claim 8, characterized in that the support at least partially covers the first information.

13. The label according to claim 7, characterized in that the support is printable.

14. The label according to claim 13, characterized in that the first information is printed, at least partially, onto the support.

19. The label according to claim 9, characterized in that the support at least partially covers the first information.

20. The label according to claim 10, characterized in that the support at least partially covers the first information.
