MULTIPLE WRAP LABEL
Abstract of the Disclosure A product container has a label wrapped around it more than once, with the innermost layer being firmly secured to the product container by full coating of permanent adhesive, and the remainder of the label having adhesive only along its outermost edge to normally hold it closed. A tear strip and one or more transverse perforation lines are provided to remove the outer layers, to expose additional surfaces on which special information and/or instructions regarding the product may be included. The outer surface of the outer layer may have colorful display advertising, while the inner surface of this outer layer may include special medical information or the like. A series of labels may be mounted on a backing strip with the longitudinal axis of the labels parallel to the longitudinal axis of the backing strip and a narrow transverse band of adhesive at the end of each label being transverse to the longitudinal axis of the backing strip.

Description
MULTIPLE WRAP LABEL
Field of the Invention This invention relates to labels of the multiple layer type.
Backqround of the Invention It is often desirable to provide detailed in~ormation relative to the use of a product contained in a package, or to provide a coupon or the like to be associated with the package. Further the requirement for instructions may be accentuated when the instructions must be in more than one language. In addition, for sales and display purposes, it is important that the product name and appropriate colorful wrapping appear prominently on the outside of the package or sales container. To accommodate these requirements, small pamphlets have heretofore been included in a separate carton containing a bottled product: and in some cases a double thickness label has been used, with the outer layer or portion of the label being removable. Typical structures of this last-mentioned type are shown in the following patents:
British Patent No. 1,510,638, published May 10, 1978.
French Patent No. 2,317,718, published February 4, 1977.
However, it is relatively complicated and expensive to have separate packages containing pamphlets with additional printed material; and double thickness labels with a portion which may be torn away, of the type shown in the above patents, often do not have the space needed for the desired additional written material, and may require complex manufacturing steps.
Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive ~' ~304937 technique for providing additional space for written material on a package, while still having the desired outer display surface available for bold lettering and bright colors.
Reference is also made to U.S. Patent No. 4,312,523 which discloses an elongated strip label having (1) a short section coated with adhesive, (2) with an adjacent perforation, (3) an extended uncoated section, (4) a transverse strip of adhesive, (5) a short uncoated pull tab, (6) followed by a perforation, and then a repetition of sections (3) through (5). Apparently it is intended that the adhesive is a non-permanent type of pressure-sensitive adhesive, and that the pharmacist will rip off the first section, using the pull tab and pulling the label off by unsticking the transverse band of pressure-sensitive adhesive; and that the patient will rip off the second section, leaving a final short identification section on the bottle. However, this system appears to have a number of drawbacks. First, the initial pacXage has an initial loose tab which could interfere with packaging or be inadvertently ripped off.
Secondly, the portions which are to be pulled off would have a transverse strip of pressure-sensitive adhesive on them. And finally, with a non-permanent type of pressure sensitive adhesive being used which may be pulled loose, the final identifying tab may easily be pulled off or come off, so that the drug tablets are unidentified. As a final point, the patent includes no indication as to how the labels are to be applied, or how they might be mounted on a backing strip, if one is used.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a multiple-wrap label for commercial products which has none of the disadvantages of U.S. Patent No.
4,312,523 discussed hereinabove.
~304937 Summary of the Invention In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a multiple wrap label and product assembly comprises:
a product container;
a multiple wrap label extending at least all of the way around said container, and having the innermost layer of said label secured by permanent adhesive to said product container, said label further extending around said product container with an inner area free of adhesive, and having means including a transverse layer of permanent adhesive at its outer edge for holding the outer layer or layers of said label onto the outer surface of an inner layer of said label;
said label including printed or colorful material both on the inner and outer layers of said label; and said label including means including transverse perforations for readily separating at least one area of the adhesive-free portion of said label from the remainder of said label.
In accordance with one specifi~ illustrative embodiment of the invention the foregoing objects may be achieved by using a multiple wrap label, which may be wrapped around the package more than a single time. The inner wrap of the label may be fully adhesive coated with a permanent adhesive to permanently adhere to the container or other basic package, and the outer wrap or wraps may be provided with adhesive only on the final edge thereof, with an immediately adjacent tear strip, so that the outer wrap or wraps may be unwound to reveal the desired supplemental written material.
In addition, at the boundary between the inner permanently adhered wrap and the outer layers which are free of adhesive, a transverse perforation line may be provided so that the outer wraps may be ripped off and separately perused.
In a preferred embodiment, the outer layer may be entirely printed with colorful and eye-catching material;
3a while the innermost layer, which remains after the outer layer or layers are peeled off, or unwrapped, may include some portion such as one-quarter or one- third of its surface with a boldly colored name identification, and the remainder of the innermost label being devoted to special instructions or guidance relative to the use of the product. The back side of the outer label may be provided with written instructions, for example, information about possible side effects or the like when a drug is involved. Particularly where the notices are to be in more than one language, the additional space is very useful.
While the multiple wrap label is shown as applied to a small round container for capsules or tablets, the multiple wrap label could also be applied to containers of square or rectangular configuration, for example.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, ....
the elongated multiple layer labels may be mounted on a backing strip, with the lsngitudinal axis of the successive labels being aligned with that of the backing strip, and the labels being applied to containers or 5 packages by separating the label from the backing strip by the usual peeling-blade-type of arrangement.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description, and from the accompanying drawings.
Brief Description of the Drawinas Figure l is a perspective view of a container having a multiple wrap label on its outer surface, illustrating the principles of the present invention:
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines II-II of Figure l;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a container provided with a multiple wrap label and with the outer layer of the label unwrapped to provide access to additional written information:
Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines IV-IV of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a top view of a multiple wrap label mounted on a strip of backing paper;
Figure 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along lines VI-VI of Figure 5;
Figure 7 is a bottom view of the label of Figure 5 showing the areas where the self-adhesive layer is located, and the location of additional written information; and Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view similar to that of Figure 2, but showing a three layer label.
Detailed Description Referring more particularly to the drawings, Figure ~30A9~7 1 is a perspective view of a container 12 having a cap 14, and provided with a multiple layer label 16.
The physical construction of the label 16 of Figure 1 is shown to advantage in Figure 7 which is a bottom view of the label. The label 16 includes a self-adhesive coated portion 18, which will be the inner layer and which appears to the right in Figure 7. To the left in Figure 7 is a second portion 20 of the label, for the most part not covered with self-adhesive, which will be the outer layer of the label 16 of Figure 1.
It may be noted that the e~treme left-hand edge of label 16 as shown in Figure 7 is provided with a strip of adhesive 22 to hold this outer layer securely in place wrapped around the inner layer 18 of the label. A
tear strip 24 is provided so that the outer portion of the label may be unwrapped, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, ~or example. A line of perforations 26 is also provided so that the outer wrap may be readily detached if desired. As indicated in Figure 7 of the drawings, the underside of the label, not visible in the configuration of Figure 1, may be provided with some valuable and useful information, such as instructions and/or cautions, in the use of the contents of the package.
The outside and inside of the outer layer 20 and the outer surface of the inner layer 18 may of course be provided with any desired written material. In practice, the outer surface of the outer layer 20 will normally be provided with a colorful and eye-catching display, with the name of the product prominent. The outer side of the inner layer 18 will normally clearly identify the product but may include some specific instructions as to the use of the product. ~n the rear side of the outer layer 16, as shown in Figure 7, to the left, more detailed notices and instructions may appear.
Particularly where medical instructions or warnings are ~304937 to be included and/or where it is desired that the instructions be in more than one language, as shown in Fig. 7, the extra space is most helpful.
Figure 5 shows one of the labels 16 mounted on a strip of backing paper 32. A series of additional labels, sush as that shown at 34 in Figure 5, are also mounted on the strip 34. The labels are secured to the backing paper or tape 32 by the pressure-sensitive adhesive on the labels. A release layer on the backing tape 32 prevents permanent adhesion of the labels to the backing tape, and permits the application of the labels to the product containers by sharply bending the backing tape back on itself, over a peeling blade, as the product container is brought into engagement with the leading edge of the label, in a manner known per se in the labeling appartus field. In the case of the present labels, the label is held in engagement with the product contain~r as the container is rotated at least twice, so that the final edge 22, coated with a transverse strip of adhesive, is positively secured in place.
Figure 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along lines VI-VI of Figure 5. ~isible in Figure 6 are the backing tape 32, and one end of label 16, including the end 22, provided with an adhesive strip 38, the tear strip 24 and the outer layer 20 which is not coated with adhesive.
Figure 7 is a rear view of the label 16 removed from the backing sheet 32. As shown by the darkened speckled areas on the end 22, and on the inner layer 18, these portions are coated with adhesive. On the other end, the tear strip 24 and the outer layer 20 are free of adhesive.
Figure 8 shows a container 42 provided with a three layer label 44. As in the case of the embodiment of Figures 1 - 7, the embodiment of Figure 8 may have the inner layer fully coated with adhesive, and an outer end ~304937 having a transverse strip of adhesive, with an adjacent tear strip. One or more transverse perforations may be provided to separate the two outer labels from the inner label, or sections of the outer two labels from one another.
~ n conclusion, it is to be understood that the foregoing detailed description and the accompanying drawings relate to one illustrative preferred embodiment of the invention. Howeverl various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, instead of an even number of layers, the label may include one and one-half or two and one-half wraps; and the position of the perforations and the tear strip may be inter-changed.
Also, the multiple wrap labels could be applied to products of virtually any desired shape, including frustoconical as in the illustrated embodiment, circular, square, or rectangular, by way of specific examples, but not of limitation. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment as shown in the drawings and as described in detail hereinabove.
