Abstract

A self-adhesive label is described, with a backing foil (2) which is coated on its rear side with adhesive and has at least one hanging- up tab (3, 3'). In order to produce an economically manufacturable, highly-loadable self-adhesive label with a hanging-up tab, it is envisaged that the hanging-up tab (3, 3') consists of a punching of the backing foil (2), which is extensively surrounded by the backing foil (2), remains connected thereto at at least one point (4, 4') and can be pivoted out of the surface of the backing foil (2), and that the rear side of the hanging-up tab (3, 3') is designed to be non-adhesive over at least its greater part. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Selbstklebeetikett mit einer an ihrer Rückseite mit Klebstoff beschichteten Grundfolie, die mindestens eine Aufhängelasche aufweist.The invention relates to a self-adhesive label with a base film coated on its back with adhesive, which has at least one hanging tab.

Ein solches Etikett ist aus den Unterlagen des deutschen Gebrauchsmusters G 87 12 373.8 bekannt.Such a label is known from the documents of the German utility model G 87 12 373.8.

Selbstklebeetiketten mit Aufhängelaschen werden meist an Infusionslösungen enthaltenden Ampullen befestigt und der mit dem Etikett verbundene Bügel dient dazu, die Ampulle zur Infusion an einem Gestell mit dem Auslaß nach unten aufzuhängen, um die Infusionslösung einem Patienten verabreichen zu können (DE-GM 87 05 092.7 und DE-GM 88 10 400.1). Bei dem bekannten Etikett der eingangs genannten Art erstrecken sich vom Rand des Selbstklebeetiketts eine oder zwei Laschen, die als Aufhänger dienen. Das Etikett wird auf die Infusionsampulle so aufgespendet, daß die beiden Laschen über die Bodenfläche der Ampulle überstehen. Um eine Störung bei der Handhabung der Ampulle vor der Infusion, also bespielsweise bei der Verpackung und Aufbewahrung, durch die beiden Laschen zu vermeiden, ist vorgesehen, daß die Rückseiten der beiden Laschen klebstoffbeschichtet sind, so daß sie über dem Boden der Flasche zusammengelegt werden. Dies erfordert jedoch einen zusätzlichen Arbeitsschritt bei der Verpackung. Störend ist dabei auch, daß bei der Verabreichung der Infusion der Arzt oder die Krankenschwester mit dem Klebstoff in Berührung kommt, was außerordentlich störend ist, da die Klebstoffflächen zur Verschmutzung neigen. Dies ist im medizinischen Bereich nicht akzeptierbar, was keiner weiteren Erörtung bedarf.Self-adhesive labels with hanging tabs are usually attached to ampoules containing infusion solutions and the bracket connected to the label is used to hang the ampoule for infusion on a frame with the outlet facing downwards so that the infusion solution can be administered to a patient (DE-GM 87 05 092.7 and DE-GM 88 10 400.1). In the known label of the type mentioned at the beginning, one or two tabs extend from the edge of the self-adhesive label and serve as hangers. The label is dispensed onto the infusion ampoule so that the two tabs protrude beyond the bottom surface of the ampoule. In order to avoid a disturbance in the handling of the ampoule before the infusion, for example in packaging and storage, by the two tabs, it is provided that the rear sides of the two tabs are coated with adhesive so that they are folded over the bottom of the bottle. However, this requires an additional step in the packaging. It is also disturbing that the doctor or nurse comes into contact with the adhesive during the administration of the infusion, which is extremely annoying since the Adhesive surfaces tend to become dirty. This is not acceptable in the medical field, which requires no further discussion.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Etikett der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das einer hohen Dauergewichtsbelastung standhalten kann, preiswert herzustellen ist und sich durch einfache und hygienische Handhabung auszeichnet.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a label of the type mentioned which can withstand a high permanent weight load, is inexpensive to produce and is distinguished by simple and hygienic handling.

Diese Aufgabe ist dadurch gelöst, daß die Aufhängelasche aus einer Ausstanzung der Grundfolie besteht, die weitgehend von der Grundfolie umschlossen ist, an mindestens einer Stelle mit dieser verbunden bleibt und aus der Fläche der Grundfolie herausschwenkbar ist, daß die Rückseite der Aufhängelasche zumindest zum überwiegenenden Teil nichtklebend ausgebildet ist, daß die Aufhängelasche die Form eines Streifens aufweist, der sich von einem Rand der Grundfolie bis in die Nähe des gegenüberliegenden Randes erstreckt, wo die Aufhängelasche mit der Grundfolie verbunden ist, und daß in der streifenförmigen Aufhängelasche in der Nähe des freien Endes eine Aufhängeöse ausgestanzt ist.This object is achieved in that the hanging tab consists of a punched out of the base film, which is largely enclosed by the base film, remains connected to it at at least one point and can be pivoted out of the surface of the base film, that the back of the hanging tab is at least predominantly is non-adhesive that the hanging tab is in the form of a strip which extends from one edge of the base film to the vicinity of the opposite edge, where the hanging tab is connected to the base film, and that in the strip-shaped hanging tab near the free end a hanging loop is punched out.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Aufhängelasche dadurch hergestellt, daß in der Grundfolie eine Austanzung angebracht worden ist, die weitgehend von der Grundfolie umschlossen ist. Die Aufhängelasche liegt somit vor dem Aufhängen der Flasche in der Fläche des Etiketts und steht an keiner Stelle störend vor. Die Rückseite der Aufhängelasche wird erfindungemäß überwiegend nichtklebend ausgebildet, so daß die Aufhängelasche einerseits leicht aus der Grundfolie zum Gebrauch herausgeklappt werden kann und andererseits die Klebstofffläche sich nicht störend bei der Handhabung auswirkt.According to the invention, the hanging tab is produced in that a punch-out has been made in the base film, which is largely enclosed by the base film. The hanging tab is thus in the surface of the label before the bottle is hung up and does not protrude at any point. The back of the hanging flap is predominantly non-adhesive according to the invention, so that the hanging flap can be easily folded out of the base film for use on the one hand and on the other hand the adhesive surface does not interfere with handling.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Grundfolie in einer solchen Form ausgestanzt ist, daß die streifenförmige Aufhängelasche an ihrem freien Ende etwas über den Rand der Grundfolie übersteht. In diesem Fall kann die Aufhängelasche zum Herausklappen besonders leicht an dem überstehenden Teil ergriffen werden. Es ist ebenfalls möglich, das Selbstklebeetikett so zu dimensionieren, daß die Grundfolie den zylindrischen Teil der Arzneimittelflasche bedeckt, während die etwas überstehende Aufhängelasche in den konisch zur Einlaßöffnung hin verlaufenden Teil vorsteht, wodurch das Ergreifen der Aufhängelasche besonders erleichtert ist, da sie von der Flaschenwandung, d.h. von dem konisch verlaufenden Teil der Flasche, absteht.It is particularly advantageous if the base film is punched out in such a shape that the strip-shaped hanging tab protrudes slightly beyond the edge of the base film at its free end. In this case the hanging flap can be gripped particularly easily on the protruding part. It is also possible to dimension the self-adhesive label so that the base film covers the cylindrical part of the pharmaceutical bottle, while the somewhat protruding hanging tab protrudes into the part that tapers towards the inlet opening, making it particularly easy to grip the hanging tab, since it is from the bottle wall , ie protrudes from the conical part of the bottle.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform besteht die Konturlinie der Ausstanzung aus zwei parallelen, die streifenförmige Aufhängelasche begrenzenden Linien, die an dem mit der Grundfolie verbundenen Ende der Aufhängelasche jeweils in einen etwa halbkreisförmigen, von der Längsachse des Streifens abgewandten Bogen übergehen. Eine solche Ausführungsform hat sich als bemerkenswert belastungsfähig erwiesen. Selbst bei sehr großen Kräften konnte in dem Bereich, in dem die Aufhängelasche umgeknickt wird, kein Einreißen beobachtet werden. Vielmehr wird die Zugkraft gleichmäßig längs der bogenförmigen Stanzungslinie in die auf der Arzneimittelflasche klebende Grundfolie eingeleitet.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the contour line of the punching-out consists of two parallel lines delimiting the strip-shaped hanging tab, which at the end of the hanging tab connected to the base film each merge into an approximately semicircular arc facing away from the longitudinal axis of the strip. Such an embodiment has proven to be remarkably resilient. Even in the case of very large forces, no tearing was observed in the area in which the hanging tab is bent. Rather, the tensile force is introduced uniformly along the arcuate punching line into the base film adhering to the drug bottle.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Krafteinleitung im Übergangsbereich zwischen Aufhängehaken und Aufhängeöse kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Aufhängeöse die Form eines quer zur Längsachse der Aufhängelasche liegenden Ovals verliehen wird. Dieses verformt sich bei Belastung in Längsrichtung der Aufhängelasche, so daß sich die Form eines Kreises einstellt. Die leicht abgewinkelten Kanten am Rand der Öse liegen dann vergleichsweise großflächig auf dem Aufhängehaken auf, so daß auch dort die Gefahr eines Einreißens sicher vermieden ist.A particularly advantageous introduction of force in the transition area between the suspension hook and suspension eye can be achieved in that the suspension eye is given the shape of an oval lying transversely to the longitudinal axis of the suspension bracket. This deforms when loaded in the longitudinal direction of the suspension bracket, so that the shape of a circle is established. The slightly angled edges on the edge of the eyelet then lie on the suspension hook over a comparatively large area, so that the risk of tearing is also reliably avoided there.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Rückseite der Aufhängelasche zumindest überwiegend mit einer Schicht bedeckt, die die Wirkung eines dort befindlichen Klebstoffs aufhebt. Bei der Herstellung des Etiketts kann die Grundfolie, einschließlich der Aufhängelasche vollflächig mit Klebstoff bedeckt werden, der im Bereich der Aufhängelasche durch die Zusatzschicht neutralisiert wird. Dies führt zu einer erheblichen Vereinfachung der Herstellung und damit zur Kostenersparnis.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the back of the hanging tab is at least predominantly covered with a layer that cancels the effect of an adhesive located there. During the production of the label, the base film, including the hanging tab, can be completely covered with adhesive, which is neutralized in the area of the hanging tab by the additional layer. This leads to a considerable simplification of production and thus cost savings.

Vorteilhaft ist ferner, wenn die Aufhängelasche in der Nähe ihres freien Endes einen kleinen klebenden Bereich aufweist. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß die Aufhängelasche auf der silikonisierten Trägerschicht, auf der die Etiketten sich gewöhnlich vor dem Aufspenden auf die Arzneimittelampulle befinden, klebt, so daß keine Störung beim automatischen Aufspenden stattfinden kann. Durch das Vorsehen des kleinen klebenden Bereiches ist auch sichergestellt, daß die Aufhängelasche nicht von der Flasche wegsteht, was beim Einschachteln sehr störend wäre.It is also advantageous if the hanging tab has a small adhesive area near its free end. It is thereby achieved that the hanging tab sticks to the siliconized carrier layer, on which the labels are usually located before being dispensed onto the pharmaceutical ampoule, so that no interference can occur during automatic dispensing. The provision of the small adhesive area also ensures that the hanging tab does not protrude from the bottle, which would be very annoying when nesting.

Für den Fall, daß die Flasche beim Aufhängen sehr unsanft behandelt werden sollte, d.h. ruckartig belastet würde, ist nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform vorgesehen, daß die Aufhängelasche in der Nähe ihres mit der Grundfolie verbundenen Endes einen kleinen klebenden Bereich aufweist. Damit ist gewährleistet, daß die erste, eventuell ruckartig erfolgende Belastung durch den Kleber aufgefangen wird. Dieser Kleber wird sich zwar langsam abschälen, die kritischen Auslaufstellen der Stanzung werden so aber nur langsam belastet, wodurch die Gefahr eines Einreißens der Grundfolie des weiteren vermindert wird.In the event that the bottle should be handled very roughly when hanging, i.e. would be jerkily loaded, according to a further advantageous embodiment it is provided that the hanging tab has a small adhesive area near its end connected to the base film. This ensures that the first, possibly jerky, load is absorbed by the adhesive. Although this adhesive will slowly peel off, the critical discharge points of the die-cut are only loaded slowly, which further reduces the risk of the base film tearing.

Als vorteilhaft hat sich ferner erwiesen, die Ausstanzung nach Art einer leicht einreißbaren Perforierung zu realisieren. Auf diese Weise kann sichergestellt werden, daß die Aufhängelasche vor ihrem Gebrauch exakt in der Fläche der Grundfolie verbleibt und somit weder bei der Verpackung stört noch Beschädigungen ausgesetzt ist. Durch ein leichtes Ziehen am freien Ende der Aufhängelasche wird die Perforierung durchgetrennt und die Aufhängelasche kann um 180° umgeklappt und zum oben geschilderten Gebrauch hergerichtet werden.It has also proven to be advantageous to realize the punching in the manner of an easily tearable perforation. In this way it can be ensured that the hanging tab remains exactly in the surface of the base film before it is used and thus does not interfere with the packaging nor is it exposed to damage. By pulling gently on the free end of the hanging tab, the perforation is cut and the hanging tab can be folded over by 180 ° and prepared for use as described above.

Zur Herstellung des Selbstklebeetiketts hat sich ein Verfahren als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, bei dem eine klebstoffbeschichtete Grundfolie auf eine klebstoffabweisende Trägerfolie auflaminiert wird und die Grundfolie in der gewünschten Form des Selbstklebeetiketts ausgestanzt wird. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß die Grundfolie eine Ausstanzung in Form einer Aufhängelasche erhält, und daß die klebstoffabweisende Trägerfolie oder die Grundfolie vor dem Auflaminieren der Grundfolie auf die Trägerfolie in dem Bereich der Aufhängelasche mit Druckfarbe bedruckt wird. Die Druckfarbe bewirkt zuverlässig, daß die Aufhängelasche - jedenfalls in ihrem überwiegenden Bereich - nichtklebend wird. Die Druckfarbe kann entweder auf die klebstoffabweisende Trägerfolie aufgebracht werden, von wo aus sie durch die Klebstoffschicht der Grundfolie auf diese übernommen wird, oder sie kann auch direkt auf die Grundfolie aufgedruckt werden.For the production of the self-adhesive label, a method has proven to be particularly advantageous in which an adhesive-coated base film is laminated onto an adhesive-repellent carrier film and the base film is punched out in the desired shape of the self-adhesive label. According to the invention it is provided that the base film is punched out in the form of a hanging tab and that the adhesive-repellent Carrier film or the base film is printed with printing ink in the area of the hanging tab before the base film is laminated onto the carrier film. The printing ink reliably causes the hanging tab - at least in its predominant area - to become non-adhesive. The printing ink can either be applied to the adhesive-repellent carrier film, from where it is transferred to the base film through the adhesive layer, or it can also be printed directly onto the base film.

Das geschilderte Herstellungsverfahren ist nicht komplizierter als das Herstellungsverfahren eines gewöhnlichen Etiketts, das stets die Verfahrensschritte des Auflaminierens, Bedruckens und Ausstanzens umfaßt. Aus diesem Grund ist das Herstellungsverfahren gemäß der Erfindung besonders einfach und kostengünstig.The manufacturing process described is no more complicated than the manufacturing process of an ordinary label, which always comprises the process steps of lamination, printing and die-cutting. For this reason, the manufacturing method according to the invention is particularly simple and inexpensive.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand des in den Figuren schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the figures.

Figure 2:
The self-adhesive label according to FIG. 1 is attached to a pharmaceutical bottle.

In Figur 1 ist ein Selbstklebeetikett 1 zu erkennen, das eine im wesentlichen rechteckige Grundfolie 2 aufweist. In dieser Form stehen Selbstklebeetiketten auf einem klebstoffabweisenden Trägerband (nicht dargestellt) zur Verfügung und können mittels einer automatischen Spendevorrichtung auf einer Arzneimittelflasche angebracht werden. Hierzu wird das mit den Etiketten belegte Trägerband über eine Spendelippe gezogen, wobei sich die Etiketten mit ihrer vorauslaufenden Kante abheben, von einem Walzwerk gegriffen werden und auf die Arzneimittelampulle gepreßt werden.A self-adhesive label 1 can be seen in FIG. 1, which has an essentially rectangular base film 2. In this form, self-adhesive labels are available on an adhesive-repellent carrier tape (not shown) and can be attached to a pharmaceutical bottle by means of an automatic dispensing device. For this purpose, the carrier tape covered with the labels is pulled over a dispensing lip, the leading edge of the labels lifting off, being gripped by a rolling mill and pressed onto the drug ampoule.

Wie in Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, sind in der Grundfolie 2 zur Bildung von zwei Aufhängelaschen 3 und 3' zwei Ausstanzungen vorgesehen. Die Ausstanzungen verlaufen längs den Konturlinien 9 und 10 bzw. 9' und 10'. Am innenliegenden Ende der streifenförmigen Aufhängelasche 3 bzw. 3' gehen die Konturlinien in halbkreisförmige Bögen über, die von der Längsachse der jeweiligen Ausstanzung weggerichtet sind. Die Bögen sind mit den Bezugszeichen 11, 12, 11' und 12' gekennzeichnet. Die Grundfolie ist so gestanzt, daß die Aufhängelasche 3 mit ihrem freien Ende über den Rand 5 der Grundfolie 2 vorsteht. Die Aufhängelasche ist an ihrem freien Ende 7 bzw. 7' zur Bildung einer Aufhängeöse 8 bzw. 8' verbreitert.As can be seen in Figure 1, are in the base film 2 to form two hanging tabs 3 and 3 'two punchings are provided. The punched out runs along the contour lines 9 and 10 or 9 'and 10'. At the inner end of the strip-shaped hanging tab 3 or 3 ', the contour lines merge into semicircular arches which are directed away from the longitudinal axis of the respective punched-out area. The sheets are identified by the reference numerals 11, 12, 11 'and 12'. The base film is punched so that the hanging tab 3 protrudes with its free end over the edge 5 of the base film 2. The hanging tab is widened at its free end 7 or 7 'to form a hanging eye 8 or 8'.

Die Rückseite des Selbstklebeetiketts ist mit Klebstoff beschichtet. In den in Figur 1 schräg schraffiert gezeichneten Bereichen ist die Klebstoffschicht mit einer Druckfarbe kaschiert, so daß die Klebwirkung vollkommen verloren gegangen ist. Die Klebwirkung ist auch in den Bereichen 13 und 14 der Aufhängelasche 3 beibehalten.The back of the self-adhesive label is coated with adhesive. In the areas shown obliquely hatched in FIG. 1, the adhesive layer is laminated with a printing ink, so that the adhesive effect has been completely lost. The adhesive effect is also retained in the areas 13 and 14 of the hanging tab 3.

Das Selbstklebeetikett wird wie folgt verwendet:
Das Etikett gemäß Figur 1 ist nach dem oben geschilderten Verfahren auf eine Arzneimittelflasche aufgebracht, wobei der untere Rand 6 parallel in der Nähe des Flaschenbodens und der obere Rand 5 etwa im Bereich des Übergangs zwischen zylindrischem Flaschenbauch und konischem Flaschenhals liegt. Der Abstand der beiden Aufhängelaschen 3 und 3' ist gleich dem halben Umfang der Arzneimittelflasche, so daß die Aufhängelaschen sich diametral gegenüberliegen. Durch die kleinen klebenden Bereiche 13 und 13' wird sichergestellt, daß die Aufhängelaschen leicht an der Flasche anhaften und ihre Lage in der Ebene der Grundfolie 2 beibehalten.The self-adhesive label is used as follows:
The label according to FIG. 1 is applied to a pharmaceutical bottle according to the method described above, the lower edge 6 lying parallel in the vicinity of the bottle bottom and the upper edge 5 approximately in the region of the transition between the cylindrical bottle belly and the conical bottle neck. The distance between the two hanging tabs 3 and 3 'is equal to half the circumference of the drug bottle, so that the hanging tabs are diametrically opposite. The small adhesive areas 13 and 13 'ensure that the hanging tabs easily adhere to the bottle and maintain their position in the plane of the base film 2.

Wenn die Arzneimittelflasche zur Infusion vorbereitet werden soll, werden die Aufhängelaschen 3 und 3' an ihren freien verbreiterten Enden 7 bzw. 7' erfaßt, so daß sich die Klebverbindung im Bereich 13 bzw. 13' löst. Die Aufhängelaschen können dann leicht in Richtung auf den Flaschenboden umgeklappt werden und an dem hierfür vorgesehenen Haken aufgehängt werden. Solange keine größere Kraft auf die Aufhängelaschen 3 und 3' einwirkt, werden sich nur die in Figur 1 schräg schraffierten Teile ablösen, während in dem Bereich 14 bzw. 14' eine Klebverbindung zwischen Flasche und Aufhängelasche verbleiben wird. Erst bei Belastung wird sich allmählich die Klebverbindung in den Bereichen 14 und 14' lösen, bis zu der gestrichelt eingezeichneten Linie 4 bzw. 4'.When the drug bottle is to be prepared for infusion, the hanging tabs 3 and 3 'are gripped at their free widened ends 7 and 7', respectively, so that the adhesive connection in areas 13 and 13 'is released. The hanging tabs can then be easily folded towards the bottom of the bottle and hung on the hook provided. As long as no greater force on the hanging tabs 3 and 3 'acts, only the parts which are hatched diagonally in FIG. 1 will detach, while in the area 14 or 14' an adhesive connection between the bottle and the hanging tab will remain. Only when there is a load will the adhesive connection in areas 14 and 14 'gradually loosen up to the dashed lines 4 and 4'.

Die an den Aufhängeösen 8 und 8' umgekehrt, d.h. mit dem Auslaß nach unten aufgehängte Flasche 15 ist in Figur 2 gezeigt. Die Aufhängelasche 3 ist längs der Linie 4 eingeknickt. Die Aufhängelasche 3' ist in der Zeichnung nicht zu sehen, da sie hinter der Aufhängelasche 3 liegt. Durch die nach außen gerichteten Bogenenden 11 und 12 der Stanzkonturlinien 10 und 9, ist das Entstehen von Ecken, die leicht zum Ausgangspunkt eines Einrisses werden könnten, vermieden.The reverse on the suspension eyes 8 and 8 ', i.e. Bottle 15 suspended with the outlet down is shown in FIG. The hanging tab 3 is kinked along the line 4. The suspension bracket 3 'cannot be seen in the drawing, since it lies behind the suspension bracket 3. Due to the outwardly directed bow ends 11 and 12 of the punch contour lines 10 and 9, the formation of corners which could easily become the starting point for a tear is avoided.

Durch das Herausklappen der Aufhängelaschen 3 und 3' werden in der Grundfolie 2 entsprechend Bereiche frei, die die Durchsicht auf die in der Arzneimittelflasche 15 befindliche Flüssigkeit 16 ermöglichen. Der Blick in das Innere der Arzneimittelflasche 15 ist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an drei Seiten möglich.By folding out the hanging tabs 3 and 3 ', corresponding areas are made free in the base film 2, which enable a view of the liquid 16 in the drug bottle 15. In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is possible to look into the interior of the pharmaceutical bottle 15 on three sides.

Der Bereich zwischen den Aufhängelaschen 3 und 3' sowie die Bereiche zwischen den Aufhängelaschen und den jeweiligen Rändern des Selbstklebeetiketts 1 können für Beschriftungen jeder beliebigen Art verwendet werden. Eine Beschriftung ist symbolisch durch die Buchstaben A, B, C und D angedeutet. Auch ist es denkbar an einem oder mehreren Rändern eine Graduierung anzubringen, die die Ablesung der Füllstandsmenge in der Arzneimittelflasche ermöglicht. Die Beschriftungen können durch einen Aufdruck oder auch durch ein weiteres Selbstklebeetikett angebracht werden.The area between the hanging tabs 3 and 3 'and the areas between the hanging tabs and the respective edges of the self-adhesive label 1 can be used for inscriptions of any kind. A lettering is symbolically indicated by the letters A, B, C and D. It is also conceivable to apply a graduation on one or more edges, which enables the filling level in the pharmaceutical bottle to be read. The labels can be affixed by printing or by another self-adhesive label.
