This invention relates to a transparent gummed label for small nail polish glass containers fitted with a cap-applicator, the label being formed of a pre-cut clear cellulose acetate sheet having translucent light colored printing over a major proportion of the back and the bar code printed on the front of the sheet. Specifically the left back side of the sheet is printed with a first light colored material identifying the supplier and the shade of the nail polish contents. Immediately adjacent thereto but on the front side there is a second printing of a white opaque background located on the right side which is a minor portion of the sheet and which is then overprinted with the opaque black Universal Product Code Bar Code and then with the Universal Product Numbers adjacent the Bar Code. The back side of the sheet is then coated with a clear pressure sensitive adhesive so that the label is then applied to a small glass container (1/2 fluid ounce) for nail polish. The transparent light colored indicia on the back side identify the manufacturer supplier, the shade of nail polish, the fluid contents (1/2 fluid oz. or 15 ml) and give instructions to shake well before removing the cap. The consumer can match the shade to any desired color and readily sees through the label which is of a significantly large size in relation to the size of the glass container. The label facilitates consumer selection of any shade desired in an offering of about 75-80 nail polish colors.
A transparent gummed label for small nail polish bottles made of glass fitted with a cap applicator comprising:
A label for attachment to a transparent container comprising a flexible sheet of transparent base material of a predetermined size and configuration to conform to a portion of the container, the label having first and second adjacent separate portions, the first portion having indicia printed thereon and being substantially transparent to permit the color of the contents of the container to be visually observable through substantially the entire first portion while providing visually readable information for the user, and the second portion being substantially opaque and having opaque indicia imprinted thereon for product identification through the use of optical means.
A method of forming a label for a transparent container comprising the steps of preforming a flexible sheet of transparent base material having a predetermined size and configuration to conform to a portion of the container, forming a first substantially transparent portion of the label with indicia printed thereon to permit the color of the contents of the container to be visually observable through substantially the entire first portion, and forming a substantially opaque second portion separate from and adjacent to the first portion and having opaque indicia printed thereon for product identification through the use of optical means.
