Multipart label for blister packs, and the production and use thereof

A sheet-like formation carrier for labeling packs from which it is possible to sever one or more information-carrying sections which may be located at any desired locations of the information carrier and may be of any desired shape,

• wherein the information carrier is configured in at least three layers, the bottom layer being a coupling-agent-repellant layer, adjacent to this a coupling-agent layer and, above the latter, at least one information-carrying layer which is compatible with the coupling agent, wherein the section which is to be severed from the information carrier is prepared by appropriate double notching along at least one boundary line, and wherein the double notching is executed such that one notch is routed directly from the top side, on the boundary line provided, through the information-carrying layer and the adhesive layer to the adhesive-repellant layer and the second notch passes from the underside through only the adhesive-repellant layer, and that the two notches are spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance A, the notch which is routed from above being located on the boundary line provided, but that which is routed from beneath, in contrast, being displaced by the distance A toward the center of the surface-area element which is to be severed whereby, when said section is severed from the information carrier along said boundary line, a free strip of adhesive remains on the severed section.

A process for producing a multipart label, wherein a sheet-like base element provided with through-passages having free openings and suitable for fixing the label reliably on a blister pack, or itself being part of the pack, the through-passages of which being assigned to one or more of the pack blisters provided for accommodating the pack contents, the minimum size of the through-passage opening being selected such that an individual object of the pack contents can pass through, and the maximum size of the free opening of the through-passages being selected such that at least a framework remains therebetween to ensure that the base element is fixed reliably on the covering sheet material or on the blister side of the plastic sheet material, said base element being permanently fixed to the blister pack by fastening means, and one or more sheet-like information carriers which are fastened with swing action on the base element,

• are cut as a continuous strip out of a suitable sheet-like material, the width of the strip in this case corresponding to the width of the pack, and the length being a whole-numbered multiple of the pack length and, if desired, an added length of the magnitude of the pack thickness,
• the first section is provided with the through-passages necessary for the base element,
• the strip at the end of the base element is made flexible along a line in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction, with the result that it can be swung against the base element along said line,
• if appropriate, first of all at a distance from the end of the base element which is equal to the pack thickness, the strip is then made flexible by suitable measures along a line in the direction transverse to its length, and a flexible transverse line is subsequently produced in each case at a distance equal to the pack length, this producing a multiplicity of information-carrier surfaces which are either folded together in zigzag form to give an information-carrier stack, or of which in each case two successive ones are adhesively bonded by way of the surfaces which are directed toward one another.

• are cut to size from a suitable material, it being possible for the materials for the base element and information carriers to be the same or different, through-passages are punched from the blank for the base element, the arrangement of said through-passages corresponding to the arrangement of the blisters in the blister pack which is to be labeled, and the size of said through-passages allowing the packed objects to pass through,
• provided on the blanks for the information carriers are relatively large surfaces for accommodating the information (information surfaces) and, if necessary, relatively small surfaces for fastening the individual elements on one another (fastening surfaces),
• these surfaces, if appropriate, are prepared for their functions,
• flexible locations of inflection functioning in a hinge-like manner are introduced between information and fastening surfaces of the information carriers, and then the information carriers and base elements on the fastening surfaces are fastened on one another on the fastening surfaces by known mechanical or adhesive fastening means.
