Processes for making a pragmatic label, a receiver sheet for making such a
pragmatic label, and intermediates thereof are described. The receiver
sheet comprises a pragmatic pre-label sheet, a lower strippable carrier,
a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer between said lower strippable carrier
and the pragmatic pre-label sheet. The pragmatic pre-label sheet is made
by coextruding a first melt for a polymeric image-receiving layer with
one or more other melts for forming a single-layer or multiple-layer
pragmatic polymer sheet, wherein said other melts includes a second melt
comprising an orientable thermoplastic polymeric material for forming a
microvoided layer, said coextruded melts forming a multilayer composite
film that is subsequently subjected to stretching. The pragmatic labels
and receiver sheets of the present invention can advantageously be made
without the use of solvent coating.
