Abstract
A label or neck hanger integrating a trial-use sample packet. The construction includes a first panel defining an aperture, a bubbled sample packet partially protruding through the aperture, and a base panel adhered to the top panel to sandwich the sample packet between the top and base panels. In the label embodiment, the base panel includes a pressure sensitive adhesive. In the neck hanger embodiment, the top panel includes a second aperture that fits around the neck of a bottle.
Claims27
A sample packet label comprising:
- a first layer defining an aperture;
- a sample packet including a bubble container portion that defines an internal, substantially sealed compartment and a margin adjacent said container portion;
- and
- a second layer secured to said first layer, said margin sandwiched between said first layer and said second layer, said container portion protrudes above said aperture defined by said first layer, said second layer including an adhesive enabling the sample packet label to be adhered to articles.
A sample packet neck hanger comprising:
- a first panel defining a first aperture adapted to receive the neck of a container and a second aperture;
- a sample packet including a front portion and a rear portion forming a bubble portion, extending through said second aperture and above said first panel, said packet including a margin portion extending away from said bubble portion;
- and
- a second panel secured to said first panel, said rear portion secured to said second panel.
A trial use sample construction comprising:
- a first panel defining an aperture;
- an envelope including a front leaf and a rear leaf sealed together to define at least one sealed chamber;
- and
- a second panel coupled to said first panel, said envelope sandwiched between said first panel and said second panel, said rear leaf adhered to said second panel with an adhesive, at least a portion of said sealed chamber extending through said aperture.
A method for constructing a neck hanger comprising the steps of:
- providing a material defining a first hole to receive the neck of a container and a second hole;
- securing a sample packet, including a bubble portion having a first portion and a second portion joined to define a sealed compartment against the material so that said bubble portion extends at least partially through the second hole, and adhering a panel over the second portion.
A method for constructing a label comprising the steps of:
- providing a top layer defining a hole;
- positioning a sample packet that includes a bubble portion that defines a substantially sealed compartment and a margin portion against the top layer so that said bubble portion extends through the hole defined by said top layer and protrudes above said top layer;
- and
- securing a base layer to the top layer over the sample packet whereby the margin portion is sandwiched between said base layer and said top layer wherein the base layer includes an adhesive capable of securing the base layer to an article.
