    Abstract: A container assembly including a composite inner seal with a removable coupon affixed thereon by a pressure-sensitive agent, thus sealing an opening of the container is disclosed. In some embodiments, the removable coupon is capable of being removed intact. Methods of manufacturing a container assembly including fabricating an inner composite seal and a removable coupon are disclosed. The removable component is removably affixed to a top surface of the inner composite seal by application of a pressure-sensitive agent thus forming a multi-layered seal. The multi-layered seal may be positioned and/or inserted within a container cap in preparation for completing downstream bottling of a medicinal substance. Methods of providing a product/residue-free removable coupon to a user wherein the removable coupon is included within the container assembly, but free from contact with the product within the container are disclosed.
