Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-part label for attaching information on blister packs with respect to the packaging surfaces enlarged labeling surface, consisting of a sheet-like base member which, without significantly hindering the removal of the packaged objects, for fixing the label on the label to be labeled packaging, and a plurality of sheet-like information carriers, which are hingedly attached to the base member.
  • the labeling of clinical trials with study-relevant data is becoming more and more differentiated due to EC GMP recommendations and directives, as well as national requirements, and yet aims to provide the highest level of flexibility in the use of medication in as many countries as possible.
  • a label for containers is known in which a plurality of folded information sheets are enclosed between a base sheet glued to the container and a cover sheet attached thereto.
  • the cover sheet is attached at its two ends on the container by adhesive surfaces so that one of the adhesive surfaces is a pressure-sensitive surface, which can be opened and closed again. After opening the adhesive surface, the information sheets can be taken. After inspecting the information, the information sheets can be reinserted between the bottom sheet and the cover sheet and the cover sheet at the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface closed.
  • a major disadvantage of this label is that the information sheets can be separated from the container, lost and exchanged.
  • a device which makes it possible to provide information about medicaments to specific persons and for specific purposes.
  • the device which can be attached to the drug package, consists of several information sheets, which are separably connected at their edges via pressure-sensitive adhesive surfaces in a strip and then folded in a zigzag to form a stack. The individual information sheets are separated from the stack and distributed as intended.
  • this device does not provide a label for safe, permanent labeling of the package contents.
  • these packages generally consist of a regular arrangement of a large number of trough-shaped depressions which have been produced in an otherwise flat plastic film-as a rule by deep drawing-and a cover which is fixed on the flat residual surface of the film.
  • the trough-shaped depressions serve to receive the packaged objects, e.g. Tablets or capsules, and the cover protects the objects from falling out and from harmful environmental influences.
  • the tray bottoms are pushed toward the cover, thereby pressing the packaged objects onto the cover.
  • the Cover tears under the pressure of the packaged object locally, ie over the opening of the tray to be emptied and releases the object.
  • US 3207301 A discloses a package having an information carrier (12) attached to the package by means of a thermoplastic or heat sealable coating.
  • the packaging is a sandwich packaging of 2 layers, of which at least one is provided with the H exertverklebbaren coating. In between are the tablets packaged in a blister pack.
  • the thermal attachment of the information carrier is shown via a position of the packaging on the side of the tub of the blister pack.

  • the carton is in one piece and has next to a cover flap, a base flap and a protective flap, each with corresponding openings for the blisters, between which the blister pack is fixed.
  • the flaps completely enclose the blisters.
  • On the carton information can be printed, which are printed or glued on the inside of the cover.
  • the multi-part label according to the invention described in the following sections meets these requirements. It is technically simple and inexpensive to produce, provides an integral with the packaging or firmly connected information surface, which is a multiple of the area, which is available on the blister itself, and it thus carries both EC directives and national Specifications invoice. It thus provides a secure solution to the problem of providing legible information in a clear layout, with clear language, country-specific and classifying structure to the user, consumer or user.
  • the ability to expand the space of the multi-part label according to the invention as needed, a flexible label concept is provided, which takes into account all customer-specific requirements and therefore can be used in a variety of sectors in trade, commerce and industry with advantage.
  • the multi-part labels of the invention may be used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for the packaging of medical products such as pellets, tablets, capsules, ampoules, vials and pre-filled syringes, or crop protection agents such as insect killing capsules, pellet or tablet form fertilizers safe dosage, or in the cosmetics sector eg for Gebißraghtabletten, in the food industry eg for food supplements such as vitamin preparations and drinking ampoules, in the metal industry, in tool and machine construction and the automotive industry for small and spare parts, in the household industry eg detergent and Spülmaschinentabs , as well as in all other areas, where by means of the multi-part label according to the invention a comprehensive, clear, non-loseable information document to be applied to a primary or secondary packaging, are used with particular advantage.

  • FIG. 1a represented, single or, as in FIG. 1b represented, several troughs of blister pack are assigned.
  • This form is therefore usually for pressure-sensitive goods, such as. relatively soft capsules, preferred.
  • the passages may also be designed as cross-shaped, meandering or star-shaped slits, as shown schematically and without scale in the FIGS. 2a to 2c are illustrated or they may be another appropriate, eg. have zigzag-shaped lines.
  • FIG. 2a shows in oblique view a portion of a base member 4 with a trough of rectangular cross-section associated cross-shaped slot passage in the closed state 9a and in the open form 10a, as it exists after the removal of the tub contents.
  • the cross-shaped solid lines in FIG. 9a show the course of the slots delimiting the small area elements 11; the dashed lines mark the crease lines along which the area elements 11 are bent when opening the passage.

  • Fig. 2a marks the solid meandering line the Slot profile of the passage 9b
  • the dashed line marks the crease line along which the surface elements 11 are bent when opening the passage.
  • the Figure 2c shows in vertical plan view a fragment of a base element 4 with a circular cross section associated with a circular slot passage 9c.
  • star-shaped slot openings can also be assigned to tanks which do not have a round cross-section.
  • the slots of the slot passages are preferably completely passed through the base material and define small surface elements 11 of the base material, which are still connected on one side with the main surface. As in the FIGS. 2a and 2b shown, the small surface elements 11 are bent when tearing the cover sheet in the removal of goods and thus give the required passage free.
  • notches that do not completely penetrate the base material, perforations, or other measures that weaken the material of the base element locally only to the extent that it can be torn open should also be understood by the term slot passage.
  • slot apertures over open apertures is the increase in the area available for connecting the base material to the surface of the blister pack.
  • a fastener for attachment of a base element, which is not part of the package itself, on the blister pack is a fastener, hereinafter also referred to as an adhesive, which is symbolized in the figures by an adhesive layer 8.
  • adhesives are made according to the requirements of the practice, ie the durability requirements, the required strength of the adhesive bond, the long-term stability, the tolerable production cost of the label and the handling options for the user and the packaging designs.
  • the adhesive can be attached to the adhesive side of the base member, or the fixation can be done with separate commercially available fasteners or integrated with the packaging fasteners.
  • Adhesives that are part of the package may have the form of grooves into which a rigid base member may be inserted, may be elastic anchors that engage and snap into openings in the base member, or an adhesive layer applied to a package surface, e.g. be a contact adhesive layer.
  • adhesives that are part of the label according to the invention for example, also elastic, hook-shaped anchors that snap into openings or edges of the packaging, or an adhesive layer into consideration.
  • the base element is provided on the adhesion side or over the whole area with an adhesive layer, which is suitable for secure fixation of the label on the package to be labeled.
  • Adhesives are those which can only be used after pretreatment, e.g. after moistening with a liquid, water or a solvent, unfold their adhesive power, or even those that adhere readily on a possibly pretreated surface of the packaging.
  • Adhesive layers which adhere directly hereinafter referred to as a contact adhesive layer, are expediently covered with a peelable protective film in order to avoid unintentional adhesion of the label to devices and other objects.
  • the surface size and shape of the base element are based on the dimensions of the surfaces available on the packaging and suitable for affixing the label. Unless it is desired, for particular reasons to be described below, that the base member has an overhang at one or two edges of the package (cf. Figures 3 . 4b . 5a, 5b . 6 , No. 12), it is preferably dimensioned so that it does not protrude at the intended area for attachment, but flush with the edges of the package or covers only a portion of the surface. Although a maximum of the adhesive force can be obtained when the label covers an entire area of the package, especially the largest area, special conditions may exist under which partial coverage is sufficient or preferred.
  • Such an overhang can, as explained below and in the Figures 3 . 5a . 5b . 6a, 6b and 7 illustrated, be advantageous for a particular design of the label according to the invention or for the attachment of the information carrier to the base member.

  • the passages must therefore open at least to the size that the objects can pass them.
  • the required passage opening depends on the position of the objects to the cover. The optimal position of the objects would be that in which their projection on the cover forms the smallest possible area. Passages in the base element, which have this free opening or can be opened on this free opening, then in principle sufficient to remove the objects from the tubs.
