Abstract
A device for labeling an object having a periphery, including a substantially planar member having oppositely disposed first and second surfaces with the length greater than the periphery of the object. A protruding tab portion is included for facilitating re-attachable at least partial separation of the device from the periphery of the object when the device is affixed about the periphery of the object. The device further includes printed indicia on at least one of a portion of the first surface and a portion of the second surface, and at least one adhesive on at least a portion of the second surface that is suitable for affixing the device about the periphery of the object.
Description
- This application is a continuation application of application Ser. No. 09/404,429, filed Sep. 23, 1999, entitled ‘Extended Wrap Label’, the entire disclosure of which is hereby included by reference herein.
- The present invention relates in general to labels and, more particularly, to labels for products and product containers.
- Labels, typically in the form of flexible sheet or web material attached to an object, have long been used to identify the object, its contents and/or display other information associated with the object. Such labels, which are normally fabricated from paper or plastic, are usually adhesively secured to the object by a contact or pressure sensitive adhesive material.
- Many objects such as jars, bottles, cans and similar receptacles support “wrap” labels which cover substantially all of their circumferential side wall surfaces. With these labels, essentially the entire outer surface of the label is available as an indicia bearing surface. A label covering all or nearly all of the circumferential area of an object such as a product container is oftentimes sufficient to convey desired advertising, content information, instructions, warnings, and the like. In many circumstances, however, an object's physical dimensions detrimentally limit the available print space of the label borne thereby.
- A common solution to the problem of limited label print area, as taught for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,458,374, 5,439,721 and 5,403,636, is to affix an additional multi-sheet leaflet or “outsert” to the exterior of the label. While generally effective for providing additional print space, such leaflets complicate the label assembly process in that at least three fabrication steps must be performed, apart from printing and placement of any necessary adhesive and release layers, in order to manufacture the label. That is, the base label must be cut to desired dimensions, the leaflet must be similarly cut and/or folded, and the leaflet must be secured to the base label. Moreover, the multiple layers of the leaflet may add considerable thickness and bulk to the label construction. Such label designs may also be unwieldy to the end user of the product if the leaflet is folded in a complicated pattern and is difficult to refold into its compact folded initial configuration. Further, because the base label and leaflet are discrete parts which must be joined to one another during the assembly process, the possibility exists that the leaflet may become detached from the base label and thereafter become misplaced. In that event, the additional printed information borne by the leaflet and, thus, the utility of the leaflet itself are lost.
- An advantage exists, therefore, for a unitary, i.e., one-piece, label construction which offers enhanced printable surface area capacity versus wrap labels of conventional design.
- Other details, objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the following description of the presently preferred embodiments and presently preferred methods of practicing the invention proceeds.
- A device for labeling an object having a periphery, the device including: a substantially planar member having oppositely disposed first and second surfaces, a length greater than the periphery of the object and a protruding tab portion for facilitating re-attachable at least partial separation of the device from the periphery of the object when the device is affixed about the periphery of the object; printed indicia on at least one of a portion of the first surface and a portion of the second surface; and at least one adhesive on at least a portion of the second surface and suitable for affixing the device about the periphery of the object.

- Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown an object such as a product container P, e.g., a bottle, jar, or the like, Adhesively affixed about the circumferential side wall of container P is a wrap-
type label 10.Label 10, as is conventional, may cover any fraction of the circumferential side wall of container P. As illustrated,label 10 is constructed as an elongated strip member spanning nearly the entire circumference of container P such that the ends of the label are separated by a small gap G. The available printing area of such a label is limited by the area, (i.e., length and width) dimensions of the label. Additionally, printing is normally carried only by the exposed exterior surface of the label - FIGS. 2, 3 and4 depict several presently preferred embodiments of labels which alleviate the problem of limited print space associated with conventional wrap labels such as
label 10 of FIG. 1, Furthermore, as will be described in greater detail in connection with FIGS. 3 and 4, labels constructed in accordance with the present invention may incorporate structural features which impart additional functions and advantages to the label. - The labels according to the present invention, respectively identified by reference numeral II0 in FIG. 2, 210 in FIG. 3 and 310 in FIG. 4, include several common characteristic features, For instance, each may be comprised of a flexible and printable substrate such as paper or plastic sheet or web material. Although they may be made individually, the labels are preferably produced from rolls of such substrates, such as paper or plastic sheet stock which can be continuously printed, coated with adhesive, applied with protective material, affixed to release paper, and cut to produce multiple labels as further described herein. Additionally, each label has general areal dimensions L and W which represent the length and width dimensions, respectively, of the label Length L is a predetermined distance related to the circumferential dimension of the object to be labeled and width W is that dimension extending perpendicularly to length L. Width W may vary, as may be desired or necessary, along length L.
- As used herein, the terms “circumferential,” “circumference,” or variants thereof shall be construed to include any distance circumscribing the perimeter of the target object to be labeled. The object may comprise a polygonal shape ( e.g., square or rectangular), curvilinear shape (e.g., circular or oval) or composite polygonal and curvilinear cross-sectional configuration defining a desired perimetrical exterior wall surface to be covered by
label -
Labels first portion labels second portions first portions Second label portions first label portions labels first label portions dash lines - Each of the
second label portions labels second label portions - The length L2 of
second portions labels second label portion - Referring more specifically to FIGS. 2, 3 and4, FIG. 2 represents the simplest expression of the present invention. According to this embodiment,
label 110 comprises first andsecond portions second label portions first label portion 112 and second label portion may be established by the rightmost edge of the pressuresensitive adhesive 116 underlyingfirst portion 112. The boundary between the first andsecond label portions - FIGS. 5 and 6 are sequential views of the
label 110 being applied to an object, e.g., a product container P. - Referring initially to FIG. 5,
first label portion 112 oflabel 110 is shown wrapped about and adhered to the circumference of container P andsecond label portion 114 is depicted in a lifted and turned-away disposition to expose thebottom surface 118 thereof. Both the top and bottom surfaces ofsecond portion 114 are available as printable surface areas. To enhance the utility oflabel 110, a comparatively narrow strip of tackadhesive material 120 may be provided along the distal edge of thebottom surface 118 of thesecond label portion 114. Alternatively, tack adhesive 120 may be applied in any pattern and to any area ofbottom surface 118 ofsecond portion 114 and to as much as the entirebottom surface 118. The tackiness ofadhesive material 120 should be such that it may enable thesecond label portion 114 to be selectively and repeatedly adhered to thefirst label portion 112 substantially in the manner shown in FIG. 6 and released from the first label portion as in FIG. 5 to expose thebottom surface 118 ofsecond label portion 114 at the end user's discretion. Preferably, where the strip of tack adhesive 120 is employed, the label stock is coated with adhesive to enable the strip to releasably adhere to the top surface of the first label portion. - Although
second label portion 114 may be of any length, an example best illustrates the degree to which asecond label portion 114 of relatively moderate length increases the available print surface area oflabel 110. Assuming that product container P is a generally cylindrical jar or bottle such as in FIGS. 5 and 6, length L1 of thefirst portion 112 oflabel 110 is selected to be substantially equal to that of the circumference of container P. Recalling that both the top and bottom surface of thesecond label portion 114 may be printed, if the length L2 of thesecond portion 114 is chosen so as to extend for an additional 360° of arc about the circumference of container P, then the total available print surface area is increased by 200% as compared to the available print surface area of conventional 360° wrap labels. That is, 720° of additional printable surface area is created in a label which consists of no more than two superimposed layers wrapped about container P. As a consequence, a compact, low-bulk and low thickness resultant label construction is produced which offers essentially three times the print area of a presently existing wrap label such aslabel 10 of FIG. 1. - FIG. 3 represents a further embodiment of the present invention. According to FIG. 3,
label 210 is substantially similar in construction to label 110. Hence, only those features which materially distinguishlabel 210 fromlabel 110 will be described in detail. - Unlike
label 110,label 210 includes aperforation 222 which may be placed at or, as illustrated, near the boundary between thefirst label portion 212 and thesecond label portion 214. Although not illustrated,second label portion 214 may also include a thin strip of tack adhesive on the bottom surface and at the distal end thereof similar toadhesive material 120 of label 110 (FIG. 5) or in any pattern or to any area of the bottom surface of the second portion. So disposed, the tack adhesive serves to retain thesecond label portion 214 in contact with thefirst label portion 212 until deployment of the second label position is desired. In this way, some or all of thesecond label portion 214 can be torn from thefirst label portion 212 alongperforation 222 to expose the surface of the first label portion previously covered by the second label portion. Additionally, the second label portion according to this embodiment may be adapted for a use, once detached from the first label portion, that is independent of the function of the first label portion. For instance,second label portion 214 may be printed with information such that it may function as a redeemable coupon for consumer merchandise. - FIG. 4 represents another embodiment of the label according to the invention. The
label 310 depicted therein, likelabel 210, includes aperforation 322 generally at or near the boundary betweenfirst label portion 312 andsecond label portion 314. Additionally,second label portion 314 is provided with a pair of comparatively closely spacedperforations second label portion 314 opposite thefirst label portion 312.Perforations removable tear strip 328, described below, which separates thesecond label portion 314 into a first non-adhesive-bearing,removable segment 314 a and a second adhesive-bearingsegment 314 b. Alternatively, a single perforation may be located insecond label portion 314 in order to separatesecond label portion 314 fromsegment 314 b. - The bottom surface of the
second label segment 314 b is preferably coated with a pressure sensitive or other adhesive (not illustrated) similar to adhesive 316 provided on thefirst label portion 312, In this way, whenlabel 310 is fully wrapped about an object such as product container P such as that shown in FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, thefirst label portion 312 is essentially affixed to the circumferential wall of the container and thesecond segment 314 b of thesecond label portion 314 is similarly affixed to thefirst label portion 312. Alternatively, if L2 is greater than the circumference of container P,second segment 314 b ofsecond label portion 314 may be affixed tosecond label portion 314. - With respect to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, in order to detach the first
removable segment 314 a, therefore, the end user simply grasps and pulls the tear strip 328 (which also preferably has no adhesive on its bottom surface, although it may contain adhesive on such surface) thereby severing the tear strip from the first andsecond segments perforations first segment 314 a to sever it from thefirst label portion 312 alongperforation 322. At this stage, the area of thefirst label portion 312, as well as any area ofsecond label portion 314, previously covered by thefirst label segment 314 a of thesecond label portion 314 is exposed And, if so designed, the detachedfirst label segment 314 may perform an additional function, e.g., as a redeemable coupon or the like. Additionally, tack adhesive 120 (not shown in FIG. 4) may also be added to the bottom surface ofsegment 314 a in a fashion similar to that forlabels segment 314 a. And, if so designed, thefirst label segment 314 may perform an additional function, e.g. as a resealable segment. - FIGS. 7, 8 and9 illustrate further embodiments of a product label constructed according to the present invention, identified respectively by
reference numerals labels labels label 710 discussed below. Hence, only those structural aspects oflabels - More particularly, labels410, 510 and 610 depict exemplary, although not limitative, means for facilitating separation of the releasable second portions of the labels from the first portions thereof when the labels are secured to objects such as products or product containers. These means may include a
protrusion 430 provided adjacent a distal end of thesecond portion 414 oflabel 410, anotch 532 adjacent an end of thefirst portion 512 oflabel51 0, or a combination of anotch 630 adjacent a distal end ofsecond portion 614 and anotch 632 adjacent an end of thefirst portion 612 oflabel 610, Each of these means enable easier insertion of a user's finger or fingernail beneath the releasable second portion of any of the labels herein described when such labels are affixed to a product or product container whereby the second label portion may be more easily lifted and separated fr9m contact with the first label portion. - FIGS. 10, 11 and12 reveal a further presently preferred embodiment of a
product label 710 constructed in accordance with the present invention.Label 710 may be manufactured in a substantially similar manner to and/or incorporate any combination of the features of previously describedlabels 110 through 610. Hence, only those features oflabel 710 not earlier mentioned will be discussed in detail. -
Label 710 preferably includes means 734 for evidencing tampering of product prior to consumption thereof by an end user. According to a presently preferred construction, tamper evident means 734 comprise a fixed ordisposable tear strip 736 contiguous with either the first, the first and second or, as shown, thesecond portion 714 oflabel 710 alongperforation 738.Tear strip 736 may be of any length, but typically corresponds to the length of the circumference of C shown in FIG. 12. - FIG. 11 shows label710 as it would appear when affixed to the circumferential side wall of a substantially cylindrical product container P . To assure its attachment to the product container prior to removal, all or a portion of the
tear strip 736 may be provided with a pressure sensitive or other suitable adhesive. When it is desired to access the contents of container P, the end user simply lifts adistal end flap 740 of thetear strip 736 and pulls the strip away from the remainder of thelabel 710 such that 10 the strip detaches from the label alongperforation 738. Upon removal, the tear strip may then be discarded. - Once the
tear strip 736 is removed, the product container cap or lid C is exposed thereby enabling the user to remove the cap and access the contents of the product container P. Should the end user discover however that, prior to purchase or use, thattear strip 736 is missing or damaged, tamper evident means 734 alerts the user that consumption of the contents of product container P should be avoided. - Alternatively,
distal end flap 740 may be omitted fromtear strip 736.Tear strip 736 may be temporarily or permanently affixed to cap C and, instead of the end user tearing awaytear strip 736, the end user may remove cap C by twisting or pulling thereby breakingperforation 738 and alerting a subsequent user that the container had been previously opened. In this embodiment,tear strip 736 may either be removed from or remain attached to cap C. - Referring now to FIG. 18, there is shown preferred embodiment of a product label1800 constructed in accordance with the present invention. The label 1800 is essentially identical to the label shown in FIG. 10, except that the label 1800 is adapted to be applied to irregularly shaped objects, particularly tapered objects. The label 1800 has a
first portion 1812 with atop edge 1814 and a buttom edge 1816. The label 1800 also has asecond portion 1817 with atop edge 1818 and abottom edge 1820. To accommodate application to a tapered object having a top with a larger circumference than the bottom, thetop edges corresponding bottom edges first portion 1812 may be oriented at an oblique angle relative to thesecond portion 1817. The relative length of the top and bottom edges and the angle between the first and second portions depend upon the shape and size of the article to which the label is to be applied. Generally, the greater the taper of the article, the greater the angle and the greater the difference between the length of the top and bottom edges, and vice versa. The specific lengths and angle are preferably selected so that thesecond portion 1817 substantially precisely overlaps thefirst portion 1812 when the label 1800 is wrapped more than 360° around an article. Alternatively, the specific lengths and angle may be selected so that thesecond portion 1817 only partially overlaps thefirst portion 1812 and partially contacts the container when the label 1800 is wrapped more than 360° around an article. Some or all of the edges may be curved to accommodate the difference in length between the top edges and the bottom edges. In FIG. 18, thetop edge 1820 of thesecond portion 1817 is curved. In another alternative embodiment, the second portion may comprise one or more sub-sections, wherein each sub-section is at an angle relative to the adjacent preceding sub-section and said angle is selected to fit the geometry of the object to which the label is to be applied. - As mentioned above, the label of this invention may be comprised of a flexible and printable substrate such as paper or plastic (such as, for example, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polypropylene) sheet or web material. Although each label may be made individually, labels are preferably produced in larger quantities from rolls of such substrate such as sheet stock which can be continuously printed, coated with adhesive, affixed to release paper, and cut to produce multiple labels. One or more areas or surfaces of the label may also be coated with a lacquer or varnish in order to protect the label and/or printed inks from wear or other degradation. Also, as an alternative to the protectivelacquer or varnish, an additional layer of protective material (e.g. a substantial transparent layer of plastic such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polypropylene) may be applied to select surfaces or areas of the label. The means by which the labels will be made will depend, in part, upon the features which are to be incorporated into such labels.
- Referring to FIG. 13, there is shown a schematic depicting a method for making the labels of this invention. It should be noted at the outset that the order in which the steps of the methods herein disclosed are carried out is not necessarily critical to successfully making the labels of this invention. As mentioned above, the labels are made from a flexible and
printable substrate 800. Graphic orother inks 810 are printed by printing step 820 (e.g. by flexographic, rotogravure, silk screening or other printing methods) at predetermined locations on the top and/or bottom surfaces ofsubstrate 800. F or example, depending on the desired or necessary label configuration,inks 810 may be applied to: the top surface offirst label portion second label portion second label portion sensitive adhesive 830 is applied by step 840 ( e.g. hot melt or other adhesive means) to predetermined locations on the bottom surface ofsubstrate 800 so as to provide a means by which the label may be affixed to the desired object. For example, depending on the desired or necessary label configuration, pressuresensitive adhesive 830 may be applied to the bottom surface of thefirst label portion - FIG. 14 depicts a method for making the labels of this invention which adds to the steps. shown in FIG. 13
optional step 860 for applying tack or releasable adhesive 850 to select locations onsubstrate 800 such that the second label portion may be selectively and repeatedly adhered to the first label portion. For example, depending on the desired or necessary label configuration, tack or releasable adhesive 850 maybe applied to the distal edge of the bottom surface of first label portion 112 (i.e. 118), 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, or 712. - FIG. 15 depicts a method for making the labels of this invention which adds to the steps shown in FIG. 14
optional step 880 for applying aprotective material 870 to select locations oversubstrate 800 and/orinks 810 in order˜o protectsubstrate 800 and/orinks 810 from wear or other degradation. For example, depending on the desired or necessary label configuration, protective material 870 (e.g. lacquer, varnish, PVC, or other substantially transparent protective material) may be applied to any surface. In addition, it should be noted that either adhesive 830 or 850 may be appliedoverprotective material 870 provided that such application does not cause an adverse chemical reaction. - FIG. 16 depicts a method for making the labels of this invention which adds additional optional steps to the steps shown in FIG. 15. In this embodiment,
substrate 800 is in the form of a web in order to facilitate the production of larger quantities of labels. Specifically, instep 900substrate web 800 is fed through a series of process steps. Each such step is represented schematically by a box in FIG. 16. - As indicated above, the order in which the steps are carried out is not necessarily critical to the successful manufacture of the labels of this invention. With this in mind,
inks 810 are printed on one or both sides ofweb 800 inprinting step 820. Pressuresensitive adhesive 830 is applied to select areas ofweb 800 inapplication step 840. Releasable adhesive 850 is applied to select areas ofweb 800 inapplication step 860. A surface ofweb 800 bearing pressuresensitive adhesive 830 is applied to releasepaper 910 inapplication step 920 such that the resulting labels produced from this process may later be removed for application to container P. Inapplication step 880, protective material 870 (e.g. lacquer, varnish (such as ultra violet varnish),PVC, or other substantially transparent protective material) is applied to select surfaces ofweb 800 which surfaces generally do not contain pressuresensitive adhesive 830. Indie cutting step 940, substrate web 800 (along with any protective material 870) is die cut to form label blanks, perforations, and/or other openings (if any) inweb 800. In strippingstep 960,substrate waste 950 is removed fromrelease paper 910 after die cuttingstep 940 thereby leaving finished label blanks releasably adhered to releasepaper 910 for later application to container P. Finally, inoptional rewinding step 980,release paper 910 bearing die cut label blanks may be wound into rolls or other convenient form for later application of the resulting labels to container P or other objects by manual or automated means. - FIG. 17 depicts another method for making the labels of this invention which method is similar to the method set forth in FIG. 16, except that
