Abstract
A dissolvable film delivery system formed by printing one or more layers of inks formulated to deliver specific ingredients and convey graphic imagery and textual information. The dissolvable film is printed to convey a graphic image or textual message using a single printed layer. The dissolvable film may further be printed using multiple layers of inks that incorporate different ingredients into the overall graphic design to achieve a desired effect from incorporated layers. The dissolvable graphic is further printed in layers to achieve a method of encapsulation allowing for a sequential delivery of ingredients comprising flavors and dosage of active ingredients.
Claims23
A sublingual delivery device produced by a process comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a substrate layer;
- and
- (b) depositing an edible ink material onto at least a portion of the substrate;
- wherein an edible ink has been infused with active ingredients;
- (c) providing coloring and flavoring into said edible ink material;
- wherein said edible ink has been infused with color and flavors.
A sublingual delivery device wherein a graphic image is formed comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a substrate layer;
- and
- (b) printing a first layer of edible ink material onto at least a portion of the substrate;
- wherein said edible ink has a specific color and indicia in relation to the overall graphic design;
- and
- (c) printing a second layer of edible ink material onto at least a portion of the substrate;
- wherein said edible ink has a specific color and indicia in relation to the overall graphic design.
A method of encapsulating printed layers of a sublingual delivery device according to the present invention comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a substrate layer;
- and
- (b) printing a first layer of edible ink material onto at least a portion of the substrate;
- wherein said edible ink is deposited to have a specific shape to the overall graphic design;
- and
- (c) printing a second layer of edible ink material onto at least a portion of the first printed layer;
- wherein said second layer of edible ink material is deposited within a specified perimeter of said first printed layer;
- and
- (d) printing a third layer of edible ink material wherein said third layer of edible ink material is deposited onto second layer of edible ink material wherein third layer of edible ink material has a larger perimeter;
- and
- (e) third layer of edible ink material covers second layer of edible ink material connecting first printed layer and third printed layer along said perimeters, encapsulating the second printed layer.
