Filed:

Apr 27, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/380533

Donavon Nelson - Lake Elmo MN, US

International Classification:

B65D 73/00

US Classification:

2064841, 206229, 401132

Abstract:

Disclosed is a dispensing package that has a plastic backing for maintaining the package in a substantially flat orientation. The plastic backing is adapted to have a label placed on its surface. A score through the label, which extends into the plastic backing, causes the package to open upon flexure. At least one additional score on the opposite side provides at least one metered opening in the package, where the number of scores and metered openings depends on the contents being dispensed. An additional seal can be placed over the score to prevent accidental opening or provide resealing of the package. Promotional pieces can be used as the additional seal. Absorbent material can be placed adjacent or over the score to provide controlled dispensing and application of the contents. The ends of the plastic backing can be configured as an applicator and/or a handle.

International Classification:

US Classification:

222107, 2064595, 206484, 220266

Abstract:

A package for carrying and dispensing contents through at least one metered opening includes a plastic backing having a first elastic limit and a shear modulus sufficient to maintain the package in a substantially flat configuration; a first score extending at least partially into the first side of the plastic backing; a coating formed on a second side of the plastic backing having a second elastic limit that is greater than the first elastic limit; a pouch formed on the second side of the plastic backing that is adapted to carry the contents of the package. Flexure of the plastic backing by a first amount is sufficient to cause the plastic backing to exceed the first elastic limit and break along the first score while flexure to a folded position is insufficient to cause the coating to exceed the second elastic limit.

Inventors:

William C. Weernink - Savage MN

Assignee:

Tursso Companies, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

B42D 1500

US Classification:

285 81

Abstract:

An elongate strip label for being wrapped around a container includes a contact portion, an overlap portion, a transparent release coating and an adhesive coating. The transparent release coating covers a front surface of the contact portion. The adhesive coating covers a back surface of the contact portion and a back surface of the overlap portion. The adhesive coating adheres the back surface of the contact portion to the container and adheres the back surface of the overlap portion to the release coating on the front surface of the contact portion so that the overlap portion may be peeled away from the contact portion to expose the front surface of the contact portion.
