  • Patent number: 4763930
    Abstract: This invention relates to a transparent gummed label for small nail polish glass containers fitted with a cap-applicator, the label being formed of a pre-cut clear cellulose acetate sheet having translucent light colored printing over a major proportion of the back and the bar code printed on the front of the sheet. Specifically the left back side of the sheet is printed with a first light colored material identifying the supplier and the shade of the nail polish contents. Immediately adjacent thereto but on the front side there is a second printing of a white opaque background located on the right side which is a minor portion of the sheet and which is then overprinted with the opaque black Universal Product Code Bar Code and then with the Universal Product Numbers adjacent the Bar Code. The back side of the sheet is then coated with a clear pressure sensitive adhesive so that the label is then applied to a small glass container (1/2 fluid ounce) for nail polish.

  • Patent number: 4469226
    Abstract: Blister pack panel for face powder compact display in which the purchaser checks the color of the face powder to determine the suitability of that color for the personal preferance of the purchaser by opening the compact, the blister pack being of a special novel construction to fit over the latching projection and around the hinge opposite the latching projection so that the blister retains the compact securely in tamper proof relation to the solid supporting panel used to display the case. Heretofore a pressure sensitive label which was dyed to match the color of the powder in the compact was affixed to the panel next to the printed description of the shade of the powder. These dyed pressure sensitive labels become soiled during handling by the purchasers and change color. Also the dyed labels may change color because of exposure to strong lighting as for example in a high intensity spot light which may be used for a cosmetic display case.

  • Patent number: 4356919
    Abstract: A hang hole device for display of a multiple hinged package which comprises a flat sheet cut at its forward edges to fit within the confined contour of the inner side walls and front wall of the package with the rear edge cut to form a projecting tab whose width is the distance between adjacent hinges and which flat sheet is provided with a hole adjacent the rear edge to mount the inserted sheet and container on a spike in a display stand. The thickness of the flat cut hang hole sheet is such that it gives suitable strength and stability for hanging display yet is not too thick so as to damage the hinges. The flat sheet may be transparent or opaque and may be composed of plastic, paper or cardboard.
