Abstract: A label has a water dissolvable or water dispersible paper with a coating of a type which can be printed with direct thermal printing. The label is produced by passing a length of such paper with a freshly applied coating of the above type through an oven for drying before the coating has an opportunity to deteriorate the surface of the paper.

Abstract: A pouch for containing a product is formed of water dispersible or water dissolvable paper on the exterior and a water dissolvable adhesive on the interior. The method of manufacturing includes folding a sheet of paper about a central fold line such that adhesive applied thereto is on the interior and engages adhesive on the opposite side of the fold line. The adhesive adjacent the side edges is sealed to form seams at such side edges. After filling, the top edge may be sealed to form the completed pouch.

Abstract: A cover for a flashlight handle comprising at least one heating coil positioned proximate to the handle so that heat generated by the heating coil warms the area gripped by a user. In the preferred embodiment, the heating coil is disposed within a flexible sleeve which is attached to the flashlight handle so that at least a portion of the flashlight handle is disposed within the flexible sleeve. A power source is preferably disposed within the flashlight handle. A switch in electrical communication with the power source and the heating coil is operative to enable a user to providing power to the heating coils.
