Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wrapped container having a label and, in particular, to an overwrapped container of smoking articles, such as a pack of cigarettes, having a tax stamp.
- Analogous positioning of the tax stamp on other types of container can, however, be disadvantageous.
- packs of cigarettes such as those described in WO-A-2004/089785 , which are opened by sliding a lid part of the pack linearly relative to a box part thereof, affixing the tax stamp over the lid (interface or mating) line can result in a consumer being required to exert an unacceptably large tensile force in order to break the tax stamp and open the pack.
- the surfaces of containers of smoking articles frequently carry graphics, brand logos and other consumer information which, depending on the shape and structure of the container, may be obscured by a tax stamp affixed so as to "seal" the container.
- DE-A-100 61 600 discloses a cigarette pack having an outer wrapper made of film which has a tear-open strip.
- a separate blank is positioned, as a printing carrier or coupon, between the outer wrapper and the pack, in the region of a wide side of the pack.
- the separate blank is connected to the inside of the upper part of the outer wrapper and is also easily releasably connected to the lower part of the wide side of the pack.
- a wrapped container having a label attached to the container and to the wrapper, wherein a first portion of the label is affixed to the container and less strongly affixed or not affixed to the wrapper and a second portion of the label is affixed to the wrapper and less strongly affixed or not affixed to the container, whereby the second portion of the label is at least partially separated from the first portion of the label upon removal of the wrapper.
- the first portion of the label is affixed only to the container.
- the second portion of the label is affixed only to the wrapper.
- the label has a line of weakness between the first portion and the second portion, whereby the second portion of the label is at least partially separated from the first portion of the label along the line of weakness upon removal of the wrapper.
- the second portion of the label is advantageously at least partially separated from the first portion of the label along a pre-defined path upon removal of the wrapper.
- the provision of such a pre-defined weakened path facilitates separation of the second portion of the label from the first portion thereof, thereby ensuring that the label is necessarily destroyed upon removal of the wrapper, and hence opening of the container, without any undue effort on behalf of the consumer.
- the second portion of the label is completely separated from the first portion of the label upon removal of the wrapper.
- the first portion of the label is affixed to the outer surface of the container in any suitable manner, for example with a suitable adhesive such as a polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesive.
- a suitable adhesive such as a polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesive.
- PVA polyvinyl acetate
- the second portion of the label is affixed to the inner surface of the wrapper in any suitable manner, for example with an adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive.
- the position of the label on the container and the location at which the first portion of the label is affixed to the container are advantageously selected to accommodate graphics, brand logos and other consumer information on the container and to allow for the relative sizes and shapes of the container and the label.
- the label may be made from any suitable material or combination of materials including, for example, paper, metallised paper, metal foil and/or plastic.
- the label is made from paper.
- the label may be any desired shape, for example, rectangular, triangular circular etc.
- the label is printed. While the label may carry any suitable information, preferably the label is a tax stamp.
- the line of weakness may be formed by stamping, scoring, perforating, embossing or otherwise compressing, cutting and/orweakening the label.
- the line of weakness may be any suitable desired shape including, for example, straight, wave-like, curved, triangular, rectangular or circular.
- the wrapper may be formed from any suitable material or combination of materials including, for example, paper, metallised paper, metal foil and/or plastic.
- the wrapper is a film, more preferably a plastic film, in particular a film based on one or more polyolefins.
- the wrapper is a transparent plastic film, preferably a transparent polyethylene or polypropylene film. Most preferably, the wrapper is a transparent, heat shrinkable, polypropylene film.
- the container may be formed from any suitable material or combination of materials including, for example, paper, cardboard, metal and/or plastic.
- the container is a container of smoking articles.
- the container may be an individual hard or soft pack comprising a plurality of smoking articles such as, for example, cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars and/or tobacco portions, or a display carton comprising a plurality of individual packs of smoking articles.
- the container is a pack of cigarettes.
- a method of packaging smoking articles in a wrapped container having a tax stamp attached to the container and to the wrapper comprising: affixing a first portion of a tax stamp to a container of smoking articles; wrapping the container of smoking articles and the tax stamp in a film wrapper so that a second portion of the tax stamp is affixed to the film wrapper, whereby the second portion of the tax stamp is at least partially separated from the first portion of the tax stamp upon removal of the film wrapper.
- the pack of cigarettes 2 shown in Figure 1 generally comprises a lower box portion 4 and an upper lid portion 6. In the closed position, the lower box portion 4 and the upper lid portion 6 mate along an interface line 8 (shown by a bold line in Figure 1 ).
- a generally rectangular label 12 is provided on the rear wall of the upper lid portion 6 above the interface line 8.
- the label 10 comprises a lower portion 12 and an upper portion 14, separated from one another by a V-shaped line of spaced apart cuts 16 extending downwardly from the upper edge of the tax stamp 10.
- the pack of cigarettes 2 and the label 10 are enveloped by a transparent over wrapper of polypropylene film (not shown).
- the underside of the lower portion 12 of the label 10 is adhered to the rear wall of the lid portion 6 of the pack 2 by a line of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesive 18 proximate and parallel to the lower edge of the label 10.
- PVA polyvinyl acetate
- the upper side of the upper portion 14 of the label 10 is adhered to the transparent film over wrapper (not shown) by a central spot of hot melt adhesive 20.
- the lower portion 12 of the label 10 is adhered to the rear wall of the lid portion 6 of the pack 2 by the line of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesive 18 in a conventional manner.
- PVA polyvinyl acetate
- the spot of hot melt adhesive 20 is then applied to the upper side of the second portion 14 of the label 10 immediately before the pack 2 and label 10 are over wrapped in the transparent heat shrinkable polypropylene film using known apparatus.
- the upper side of the upper portion 14 of the label 10 is adhered to the underside of the film over wrapper by the hot melt adhesive 20.
- the overwrapped pack 2 and label 10 are then transported downstream to a shrink tunnel in which heat is applied to shrink the transparent polypropylene film and to seal certain predetermined areas thereof together.
- the second portion 14 of the label 10 which is adhered to the wrapper by the spot of hot melt adhesive 20, is separated from the first portion 12 of the label 10, along the line of perforations 16, and removed together with the wrapper.
- the lower portion 12 of the label 10 is affixed to the container 2 and the upper portion 14 of the label 10 is affixed to the wrapper. It will be appreciated, however, that in alternative embodiments of the invention a lower portion of the label may, for example, be affixed to the wrapper while and an upper portion of the label is affixed to the container.
- containers according to the invention may comprise labels affixed to other parts of the surface thereof.
- the first portion of the label and the second portion of the label may be affixed to the container and the wrapper, respectively, using alternative adhesives and/or in any other suitable manner.
