  • Method of applying a label to a squeeze tube
    Publication number: 20070084556
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method of labeling squeeze tubes. The method involves adhering a label to a tube, which is optionally treated under conditions which achieve a dyne level of at least 38, so that the label adheres to the tube. Upon sealing of the tube to generate the squeeze tube, the label covers the sealed area thereby maximizing the labeled area of the squeeze tube.

  • Invisible eyemark and method for orienting squeeze tube
    Publication number: 20070085026
    Abstract: The present invention is an invisible eyemark for orienting squeeze tubes during manufacture. The invisible eyemark is composed of a dye that absorbs electromagnetic wavelengths outside of the visible spectrum and is therefore invisible to the human eye. The invisible eyemark is an improvement over the art, as it does not detract from tube decorations or product labels.

  • Detachment resistant retained lever tab
    Patent number: 4361251
    Abstract: A method of making a retained tab for a container end and a design for same are disclosed. The tab opens in such a way that multiple forms of stress are induced in the tab before the tab will break away from the end. Specifically, the tab endures first a bending stress and then a torsional stress. The mode of stress being defined by the construction of the tab.
