Labeling and packaging system and methods

A method of opening a packaging and label system, comprising:

• providing a primary packaging having a top seam and a bottom seam and defining an interior cavity, a medical device disposed within the interior cavity, and a label system having a first body, a rear surface of the first body coupled with a front outer surface of the primary packaging;
• grasping a first right handle, a second right handle, a first left handle and a second left handle of the label system, wherein;
• the first right handle is coupled to a right side of a top edge of the first body;
• the second right handle extends from a top edge of the first right handle and includes a first fold line disposed therebetween;
• the first left handle is coupled to a left side of the top edge of the first body;
• the second left handle extends from a top edge of the first left handle and includes a second fold line disposed therebetween;
• and
• a second body is coupled to both the second right handle and the second left handle along a first edge of the second body;
• urging the first right handle and the second right handle in an opposite direction from the first left handle and the second left handle along an axis extending at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the primary packaging;
• separating the first body along a first tear line and separating the second body along a second tear line, each tear line extending longitudinally;
• and
• tearing a portion of the primary packaging to access the medical device.

A method of manufacturing a label and packaging system, comprising:

• forming a primary packaging having a top seam and a bottom seam, a front outer surface and a rear outer surface, the primary packaging defining an interior cavity containing a medical device;
• and
• coupling a rear surface of a first body of a labeling system to the front outer surface of the primary packaging, the labeling system comprising:
• a first right handle extending from a right side of a top edge of the first body,
• a second right handle extending from a top edge of the first right handle and including a first fold line disposed therebetween;
• a first left handle extending from a left side of the top edge of the first body;
• a second left handle extending from a top edge of the first left handle and including a second fold line disposed therebetween;
• a second body, coupled to both the second right handle and the second left handle along a first edge of the second body;
• a first tear line extending longitudinally from the top edge of the first body, between the first right handle and the first left handle;
• and
• a second tear line extending from the first edge of the second body along a second distance.
