Reuseable labeling constructions for containers, containers having anti-static characteristics, and methodologies utilizing the same

A reusable labeling construction for use with a container that is adapted to receive a parcel for shipment to an intended recipient, comprising:

• a. a label substrate adapted to be secured to a body of said container, said label panel including return address indicia;
• b. a transparent layer secured to said label panel and overlaying said return address indicia, said transparent layer including an exposed surface portion formed of a release material;
• and
• c. a removable label, including
• i. a strip constructed of a selected strip material and having an area adapted to receive information corresponding to an address of an intended recipient of the received parcel, and
• ii. a layer of a selected adhesive which is adapted to adhere sufficiently to the exposed surface portion of said transparent layer to retain the label on the transparent layer during shipment, yet from which the label may be forcefully removed without tearing the strip material.

A container adapted to receive a parcel for shipment to an intended recipient, comprising:

• a. a closable container body having an interior and a mouth communicating with the interior;
• b. a label substrate supported by said container body, said label substrate including return address indicia corresponding to a return address for the container;
• and
• c. a transparent layer overlaying said return address indicia so that the return address indicia may be seen there through, said transparent layer including an exposed surface portion formed of a release material so that a removable shipping label may be releasably affixed thereto.

A container adapted to receive a parcel for shipment to an intended recipient, comprising:

• a. a container body having an interior and a mouth communicating with the interior, said container body including
• i. an outer surface portion provided with return address indicia corresponding to a return address for the container;
• and
• ii. a transparent layer overlaying said return address indicia so that the return address indicia may be seen there through, said transparent layer including an exposed surface portion formed of a release material so that a removable shipping label may be releasably adhered to said transparent layer during shipment, yet forcefully removed there from without tearing the shipping label.

A method of shipping a parcel from a shipper located at a origin location to an intended recipient located at destination location, comprising:

• a. at the origin location and in any order:
• i. creating a shipping package by packaging the parcel to be shipped in an individual reusable container that includes:
• 1. a closable container body having an interior and a mouth communicating with the interior;
• 2. a label panel including
• a. owner address indicia corresponding to an address for an owner of the container, and
• b. an exposed transparent surface portion overlaying the owner address indicia so that the owner address indicia may be seen therethrough, said transparent surface portion formed of a release material;
• ii. placing a removable label onto the transparent surface portion, said removable label including
• 1. a strip constructed of a selected strip material and having a first surface region provided with information corresponding to an address for the intended recipient of the parcel, and
• 2. an opposed second surface region provided with a layer of a selected adhesive so that the opposed second surface region of said label can be secured to said exposed surface portion during shipment to the intended recipient, yet removed there from at the destination location without tearing the strip of material;
• and
• iii. delivering the shipping packing to the destination location.

A method of shipping parcels from shippers each located at a respective origin location to intended recipients each located at a respective destination location, comprising:

• a. at a respective origin location for a respective shipper and in any order:
• i. creating a respective shipping package by packaging each parcel to be shipped by the respective shipper in an individual reusable container that includes:
• 1. a closable container body having an interior and a mouth communicating with the interior;
• 2. a label substrate secured to said container body, said label panel including owner address indicia corresponding to an address for an owner of the container;
• and
• 3. a transparent layer secured to said label substrate and overlaying said owner address indicia so that the owner address indicia may be seen therethrough, said transparent layer including an exposed surface portion formed of a release material;
• ii. placing an associated removable label onto the transparent layer, each removable label including
• 1. a strip constructed of a selected strip material and having a first surface region provided with information corresponding to an address for an associated intended recipient of the parcel, and
• 2. an opposed second surface region provided with a layer of a selected adhesive so that the opposed second surface region of said label can be secured to said exposed surface portion of the transparent layer during shipment to the associated intended recipient, yet removed there from at the associated destination location without tearing the strip of material;
• iii. delivering the shipping packing to the destination location associated with the intended recipient;
• and
• iv. repeating steps (a)(i) through (a)(iii) at each respective origin location.
