A label structure and a method for obtaining the label structure are described. A self-adhesive web of material continuously advances at a predetermined speed along a path between an ultrasonic horn assembly and a rotary anvil, the self-adhesive web of material of a type originally used for the obtaining of labels or other self-adhesive products. The ultrasonic horn assembly is further activated to move along its vertical axis and further transmits ultrasound wave signals when contacting the web of material. The rotary anvil welds predetermined strips onto the web of material, the predetermined strips inhibiting silicone from cross bands and from side longitudinal bands of a silicone layer of the silicone-coated plastic tape of the web of material, which will form back end cross bands, intermediate transversal bands and longitudinal bands, such that the silicone layer of the silicone-coated plastic tape and end cross bands, intermediate cross bands, and longitudinal bands of the self-adhesive tape are permanently coupled, respectively, over the end cross bands, intermediate cross bands, and longitudinal bands of the silicone layer of the silicone-coated plastic tape.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for obtaining a label structure comprising the steps of: providing a self-adhesive material tape reel of a type originally used for the obtaining of labels or other self-adhesive products, with a predetermined width and comprising a silicone-coated plastic tape (1'); an intermediate silicone layer (4') arranged in an inner surface of tape (1'); an intermediate pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (13'), glued so as to be detached on the silicone layer (4'); and of a plastic tape (10") opposite to the silicone-coated plastic tape (1'), which contains a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (13') and unwind said self-adhesive material tape from an unwinder located at the inlet end of a manufacturing equipment, making the traction thereof through a rewinder located at the opposite end of the equipment, so as to cause such tape to pass through the several manufacturing stages; printing on the surface of the silicone-coated tape (1') facing outwards, opposite to that containing the silicone layer (4'), a succession of prints forming labels (2'), properly spaced from each other and in intervals between said prints corresponding to one of the label ends, printing marks (20), which work in collaboration with optical reader in the label application operation; printing on an outer surface of the self-adhesive tape (10"), opposite to that containing the adhesive layer (13'), prints at regular intervals forming the inner labels (10) containing gifts or coupons or similar products; coupling predetermined portions of the silicone layer (4') of the tape (1') to corresponding portions of the self-adhesive tape (10') through an ultrasonic welding process, thereby inhibiting the silicone from the cross bands and from the two side longitudinal bands of the silicone layer (4'), of the silicone-coated tape (1'), which will form the back end cross bands (5), intermediate transversal bands (5') and longitudinal bands (5"), such that the silicone layer (4) of the silicone-coated tape (1') and the end cross bands (15), intermediate cross bands (15') and longitudinal bands (15") of said self-adhesive tape (10") are coupled so as not to be detached, respectively, over the end cross bands (5), intermediate cross bands (5') and longitudinal bands (5"); cutting (14') the self-adhesive tape (10") without cuffing the silicone-coated tape (1') and without extracting the bands arising from the labels to define in said self-adhesive tape (10") the shapes of the self-adhesive inner labels (10) and the end cross bands (15), intermediate cross band (15') and longitudinal bands (15"); and rewinding the tape of labels when they are supplied in the form of a label tape or cut of the label tape when they are supplied already cut in the form of individual labels. 2. A method comprising: continuously advancing a self-adhesive web of material at a predetermined speed along a path between an ultrasonic horn assembly and a rotary anvil, said self-adhesive web of material of a type originally used for the obtaining of labels or other self-adhesive products, with a predetermined width and comprising a silicone-coated plastic tape; an intermediate silicone layer arranged in an inner surface of said silicone-coated plastic tape; an intermediate pressure-sensitive adhesive layer glued so as to be detached on said silicone layer; and of a plastic tape opposite to said silicone-coated plastic tape, which contains a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a surface of said silicone-coated tape facing outwardly, opposite to that containing said silicone layer, being printed in a succession of prints to form a plurality of labels, properly spaced from each other and in intervals between said prints corresponding to one of the label ends, printing marks, which work in collaboration with an optical reader in the label application operation, an outer surface of said self-adhesive plastic tape, opposite to that containing said adhesive layer, being printed at regular intervals to form inner labels containing gifts or coupons or similar products; and activating said ultrasonic horn assembly to move along its vertical axis and to transmit ultrasound wave signals when contacting said web of material and said rotary anvil, said ultrasonic horn assembly to weld predetermined strips onto said web of material, said predetermined strips inhibiting silicone from cross bands and from side longitudinal bands of said silicone layer of said silicone-coated plastic tape, which will form back end cross bands, intermediate transversal bands and longitudinal bands, such that said silicone layer of said silicone-coated plastic tape and end cross bands, intermediate cross bands, and longitudinal bands of said self-adhesive tape are permanently coupled, respectively, over said end cross bands, intermediate cross bands, and longitudinal bands of said silicone layer of said silicone-coated plastic tape. 3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising: cutting said self-adhesive tape without cutting said silicone-coated plastic tape and without extracting said bands arising from the labels to define in said self-adhesive tape shapes of said self-adhesive inner labels and said end cross bands, intermediate cross bands, and longitudinal bands; and rewinding said tape of labels when said labels are supplied in the form of a label tape or cut from said label tape when said labels are supplied already cut in the form of individual labels. 4. The method according to claim 2, wherein said ultrasonic horn assembly further comprises at least one non-rotary ultrasonic horn. 5. The method according to claim 2, wherein said ultrasonic horn assembly further comprises at least one rotary ultrasonic horn. 6. The method according to claim 2, wherein a peripheral surface of said rotary anvil further comprises a predetermined engraved pattern having alternating raised surface portions and recessed surface portions at predetermined spacing intervals to enable intermittent contact with said ultrasonic horn assembly and said web of material.
