  • Patent number: 5234735
    Abstract: A composite resealable outsert and method for making the same, which produces a pressure sensitive applied resealable and clear laminate protected multi-fold outsert that provides product manufacturers with a convenient and economical device to satisfactorily meet increasing requirements for accommodating close retained association of previously printed product use and precautionary information outserts directly with the product by affixment and re-use protected attachment thereof either to the product container or the product itself rather than by the otherwise usual and typical method of simple loosely inserted outsert deposit within the product container.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5225022
    Abstract: A method for making an improved resealable outsert label wherein following sequential text and illustrative imprinting upon panel components thereof the base layer panel upper surface of the label is next imprinted with a release-reseal coating strip to be thereafter followed by a curing thereof and then a skip-printing of the label cover panel hinge adhesive directly upon the base layer panel upper surface and abuttable to the previously laid down release-reseal coating strip, with a second strip of like adhesive, being a strip of label cover panel reseal tab adhesive, imprinted directly over the release-reseal coating strip, and then application of the label cover panel which is bondably adhered to the label base layer at the cover hinge end thereof by the label cover panel hinge adhesive and releasably adhered to the label base layer at the reseal tab end thereof by the reseal tab adhesive.

  • Patent number: 5149587
    Abstract: An improved resealable outsert label structure which embodies the interprinting of a release-reseal coating to provide a mechanical adhesion differential between that of the cover panel hinge and reseal tab so that the cover panel of the outsert label opens substantially easier from the reseal tab end in the event that a user would inadvertently attempt to open the outsert label from the hinge end and otherwise cause damage thereto.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5074595
    Abstract: An improved resealable folded label structure provided with a graduated pressure-sensitive adhesive profile which is applied to the label front cover contact side of an outer protective overlaminate so that the label cover adhesion surface and hinge connecting tab portion of the outer protective overlaminate have a substantially thicker pressure-sensitive adhesive layer than does the over-lap opening and resealing tab portion thereof, such that if a user inadvertently attempts to open the label from the hinge tab side, being the wrong side, the extra adhesive thickness applied thereto will provide sufficient adhesion to prevent delamination damage to the label until such time as the user realizes their error and then proceeds to open the label from the proper over-lapping reseal tap side.
