Abstract

A method for attaching a label to a surface of an item. The label includes a carrier layer and a bonding layer. The method includes heating the bonding layer using infrared light such that the infrared light has a maximum spectral irradiance at a peak wavelength. The bonding layer has an absorbing spectral region that spectrally matches with the peak wavelength.
