US 12,767,407 B2 · Tamper resistant gift card carrier

Abstract

A tamper evident gift card carrier or package that includes a card attached to a carrier and with an encapsulating label positioned over the card. The label features a periphery coated with an adhesive and that surrounds a middle section positioned over the card. One or more sets of die cuts or perforations allow easy removal and indicate tampering. The middle section can also feature embossing on the surface that directly faces and/or contacts the label. A second set of perforations or tamper marks is die cut into the periphery of the label such that if that entire label is peeled away from the carrier to which it is attached, the periphery of the label will separate into more than one section making tampering evident. The label can be made of a water-soluble material such as PVOH (polyvinyl alcohol).
