Filed:

Mar 26, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/857993

Inventors:

Anthony J. Gunderman - Phoenix MD
David Moir - Annapolis MD
Robert M. O'Connell - Belle Mead NJ

Assignee:

Color Prelude, Inc. - Baltimore MD

International Classification:

B32B 3100

US Classification:

156277

Abstract:

A cosmetic sampler formed by screen printing a slurry of cosmetic powder and solvent onto a paper base. To prevent off-set of the cosmetic sample during packaging and handling, a protective thin film overlay is laminated to a perimeter adhesive printed on the paper base around the cosmetic. The paper base may be replaced by a pressure sensitive adhesive stock to form a unit dose or single application of a cosmetic that can be applied as a label to any desired surface. In other embodiments, a non-pressure sensitive removable adhesive is used in a two-layer removable label construction or a three-layer coupon construction. The sampler can also be provided with or without the protective overlay in a simple folded hand-out version or as a pad of cosmetic sampler sheets. The sampler can also be used to provide unit doses or single applications of creams, lipsticks, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, lotions, and other high viscosity, waxy materials.
