  • Patent number: 6613410
    Abstract: A unitary label adapted for affixation to an object such as a product container. The label includes a first portion which is affixable to an object to be labeled and a second portion contiguous with the first portion. The label is wrapped about the target object and the combined length of the label is greater than the circumference of the object whereby the second portion functions as a resealable and/or removable flap which offers additional available print areas on both its top and bottom surfaces. A method for making the unitary label is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6274236
    Abstract: A pressure sensitive brochure label is both resealable and readily applicable to containers with sharp or small radius corners. The label comprises a pressure sensitive base label, a specially die cut brochure and a pressure sensitive overlayer, the overlayer serving to join the brochure to the base label, the base label and the brochure providing areas capable of carrying printing. The top leaf of the brochure projects beyond an edge of the base label and a portion of the overlayer projecting beyond the top leaf provides for sealing and resealing of the brochure in conjunction with a die cut tab on the brochure. In another embodiment, a relief notch in the base label in conjunction with the tab and portion of the overlayer which projects beyond the top leaf provides for sealing and resealing of the brochure.
