To provide a process for manufacturing label tape that causes no fraying mutually between fibers of the cloth in the cutting zone, when figured label tape is produced by the thermal cutting manipulation.
In the production of tape, at first, a cloth (4) having the cutting zones including fusible fibers and adhesive fibers (12, 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d) along the cutting lines (10, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d and 10e) is prepared. The fibers of the cloth in the cutting zone are mutually bonded by pressing the cutting zones and/or by generating heat at the cutting zones. The cutting device (18) is placed after the pressing device and the cutting members (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 20e) are used to cut the cloth along the cutting lines (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e) of the cutting zones (12, 12b, 12c, 12d) to produce the tapes (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d).
