Abstract
The present invention is drawn to an innovative scent and freshener device and a method of manufacturing the device comprising a layered stack having a pull tab aperture for release of the fragrance. The scent composition is encapsulated thus preventing leakage and the scent remains pure and uncompromised. A scent sniff window card may hold one fragrance or multiple fragrances. The scent window sniff card is streamlined and uses minimal parts thus reducing manufacturing costs and landfill waste.
Claims11
A scent sniff window card comprising:
- a first substrate, an adhesive on the inside of the first substrate;
- an impermeable barrier polymer on the inside of the first substrate;
- the impermeable barrier polymer adhered to the adhesive;
- said substrate having a perforated cut aperture;
- a pull and lift tab cut on the substrate;
- a second adhesive on the inside of a second substrate, a second impermeable barrier polymer adhered to the second adhesive, wherein the first and second barrier polymers are adjacent thereto, and a scent composition in the aperture.
A method of making a scent sniff card comprising:
- feeding a substrate through an in-line press;
- custom printing a first side of the substrate;
- cutting an aperture in the substrate with a rotary steel die, said aperture is kiss cut and a cut-out window is held with notches or perforations;
- applying an adhesive coating layer on the substrate underside;
- applying an impermeable barrier layer over the adhesive coating layer, creating a laminated stack;
- die-cutting the laminated stack into single laminated stack pieces;
- positioning the laminated stack pieces for injecting an amount of a scent composition on the impermeable barrier layer opposite kiss cut aperture window;
- aligning the impermeable layer of the inside of the laminated stack piece on top of the impermeable layer of a second laminated stack piece;
- pressing the two-piece substrate stack;
- and heat sealing the two-piece laminated stack only on the outside of the scent apertures thereby encapsulating the scent composition and bonding the stack into a single laminated scent card.
A method of making a scent sniff card according to 7, wherein the substrate comprises card stock.
A method of making a scent sniff card according to 7, wherein the impermeable barrier layer comprises low density polyethylene.
