Packaging and packaging method for patches made of a textile material

Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging for patches made of a textile material, including a substrate provided with an adhesive coating on at least one of its surfaces, wherein the coating forms an adhesive film suitable to receive and hold a plurality of patches made of a textile material, the packaging further includes a plurality of patches arranged on the substrate according to a predefined pattern, and wherein the adhesive coating is a made of a cold seal adhesive. The invention also relates to a packaging method for the patches.

1 . A packaging for patches made of a textile material, comprising a substrate provided with an adhesive coating on at least one of its surfaces, wherein said coating forms an adhesive film suitable to receive and hold a plurality of patches made of a textile material, said packaging further comprising a plurality of patches arranged on said substrate and contacting said coating according to a predefined pattern, and wherein said adhesive coating is a made of a cold seal adhesive. 
     
     
         2 . A packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein said cold seal adhesive consists of an aqueous dispersion of rubber latex. 
     
     
         3 . A packaging according to  claim 2 , wherein said rubber latex is a synthetic rubber latex. 
     
     
         4 . A packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein said substrate is in the form of a strip or a sheet. 
     
     
         5 . A packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein only one surface of the substrate is coated with the adhesive coating and the opposite surface is treated with a non-stick substance. 
     
     
         6 . A packaging according to  claim 1 , further comprising a container suitable to house a substrate wound in a reel. 
     
     
         7 . A packaging according to  claim 6 , wherein said container is provided with a supporting member suitable to rotatably support said reel and with a slit suitable to allow to unwind the substrate by pulling and/or to cut it. 
     
     
         8 . A method for the manufacturing of a packaging for patches made of a textile material, said method comprising the steps of:
 i) providing a substrate;   ii) forming an adhesive coating on at least one surface of said substrate;   iii) coupling in a continuous way a layer of a textile material with the adhesive coating formed on the at least one surface of said substrate and   iv) die-cutting said layer of a textile material so as to form a plurality of patches therein,   
       wherein the adhesive used to form the adhesive coating is a cold seal adhesive.
