Abstract: A label for undersized containers is disclosed, the label having a portion to contact the circumference of the container and portions to overlap and engage themselves. The overlap portion may be releasably attached to that portion of the label which has previously been attached to the container. A label of this nature is used for undersized containers or containers which may be economically reduced now that the information previously displayed on the container may be placed on the label of the present invention.

Abstract: A form of adhesive label is disclosed which enables instructions, e.g. for the use of the contents of a container to which the label is to be attached, to be detachably secured, with the label, to the container. The label comprises a backing sheet with adhesive on one face protected by a siliconized paper release sheet, and an "instruction" strip glued to its other face. The strip has a first band of adhesive along one transverse edge of its rearward face, a tear line next to the band of adhesive, and a transverse fold line spaced from the tear line and about which the remainder of the strip is folded to lie between the front portion of the strip and the sheet. Adjacent the fold line is a second band of adhesive which with the first band secures the strip to the backing sheet. The remainder of the strip is folded concertina-fashion or otherwise about fold lines so as to lie entirely between the two bands of adhesive. The tear line and a second tear line enable the strip to be detached for study.

Abstract: A sheet-like label having a pattern of tear lines which define a panel and an elongated strip which is contiguous with a first edge of the label. One end of the strip can be manually engaged and the strip can then be pulled away from the remainder of the label to free the first edge of the panel. The panel can then be manually engaged at its first edge and the panel can thus be readily separated from the remainder of the label. The remainder of the label completely surrounds the panel and the strip so that after removal of the panel and the strip the edges of the label will remain continuous. The labelled article includes a label mounted to the body of the article so that the label closely overlies a surface of the body.

Abstract: A label for attachment to a container having a pharmaceutical product therein is in the form of an elongated strip substantially longer than the circumference of the container to which it is adapted to be secured. The strip is delineated into at least three zones with the two end zones including indicia identifying the product name, quantity of the product, and the expiration date. One of said end zones is provided with adhesive for securement to the container and is delineated from the remainder of the label by a perforation line.

Abstract: A promotional coupon vehicle designed for display in association with a particular product line or for distribution by mail or other media to consumers. A first surface region illustrates the particular product and offers a discount on a purchase of the product line. A second surface region is delineated to receive and hold some portion of the packaging material of the product line. Adhesive carried by the second region facilitates attachment of the packaging material. The combination of the coupon vehicle and the attached packaging material is acceptable for a discount on the product line.

Abstract: A paper or plastic cup or container is provided having a pull-tab extending from the side seam which can be torn off by the consumer to be used as a coupon, proof-of-purchase or to reveal some form of concealed marking which might entitle the consumer to a premium, gift or other consideration. The pull-tab is notched and/or perforated in such a manner as to direct the tear parallel to the glue line of the sidewall seam and prevent it from crossing said glue line, thus maintaining the integrity of the container and preventing leakage or spill of the contents.

Abstract: A drum is provided with an identification tag secured to the top chime construction. A wire loop having the tag at its free end is in frictional engagement at its other end between the top chime strip and the underlying associated material of the drum wall. This arrangement is accomplished by properly twisting the wire loop, placing it over the top of the drum wall so that it projects downwardly on both the interior and exterior walls. The top chime is placed on the top of the drum wall with the wire loop interposed therebetween. The beading operation is then completed following which the identification tag is secured to the top chime construction of the drum.

Abstract: A printed product label is composed of at least two sections, at least one of which is provided with the label indicia pertinent to the product. One of the label sections is provided with an adhesive of one given type capable of affixing such label section permanently to the product. A second section is separably connected to the first section and is also provided with said given type of adhesive, but such adhesive thereon is employed to removably secure the second section to the product. The second section is additionally provided with a second adhesive of the pressure sensitive type that is masked to render it inoperative while the second label section is secured to the product, but which can readily be made operative when the second section is separated from the product and the first label section to adhere the separated second section to a backing member.

Abstract: A two-piece long-skirted lid for ice cream containers and the like is provided in which a transparent plastic shell having a raised central web for spanning a container mouth is provided with a dependent sealing skirt defining an annular trough. A printed paper disk is coterminate with the raised web and includes dependent peripheral tabs which fit into the trough and are visible through the skirt. An inturned top curl around the top of the outer wall of the skirt holds the paper and plastic assembled without adhesive and precludes contact of the paper with the container contents.
