Abstract: A bottle having a sealing device and a substrate attached thereto, and methods of attaching the substrate to the bottle are disclosed. Methods include placing the substrate on the bottle, the bottle having a break line, and the substrate having a wireless communication device having an antenna, an integrated circuit, and a sensing line thereon. Methods further include adhering a first part of the substrate including the antenna to a first portion of the bottle that does not include the break line, and a second part of the substrate including the sensing line to a second portion of the bottle and on/over a break line. The bottle includes an interface between the sealing device and defines a break line. The substrate including the wireless communication device is on/over the bottle, at least a part of the sealing device and the break line.

Abstract: A smart label including a communication device and a continuity sensor, and methods of manufacturing and using the same, are disclosed. The smart label includes a substrate having a preferential tearing direction, an antenna or display, an integrated circuit, and a sensing line configured to sense or determine a continuity state of a container on which the communication device is placed or to which the communication device is fixed or adhered. The sensing line has at least one section oriented perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to the preferential tearing direction of the substrate. The antenna is configured to receive a first wireless signal and/or transmit or broadcast a second wireless signal. The communication device (or integrated circuit) may further include a receiver and/or transmitter, in which case the integrated circuit may be configured to process the first wireless signal and/or information therefrom and/or generate the second wireless signal and/or information therefor.
