Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container with label.
  • the application is known on a container of a label showing indications and information as to the contents of the container itself.
  • beverages such as water, beer, wine and soft drinks are usually distributed on the market inside glass or plastic bottles to which is affixed a label bearing the commercial brand of the beverage, as well as a series of other details concerning the product, such as the ingredients, the date of bottling, the date of expiry, the producer, etc.
  • the label consists of a sheet of plastic or paper, which is wrapped and glued around the cylindrical surface of the bottle.
  • the label can also be used as a support and vehicle for auxiliary members not necessarily directly related to the bottled product.
  • the label has a portion which must be cut away from the rest of the label and which acts as a discount coupon for the purchase of other products, or as an element to be put aside and collected to complete a point collection, an album or the like.
  • the labels having a portion to be cut away e.g., inconveniently need the end user to cut the label, with considerable loss of time by same and the risk, of him/her, due to laziness or indolence, not performing the operation and of the label being thrown away together with the bottle without the label having been cut.
  • the portion to be cut away is usually arranged in view and, in particular, is clearly visible for the end user at the time of purchase.
  • the producer is interested in keeping the auxiliary member concealed, to create a sort of suspense and increase the buyer's curiosity, but clearly, such labels are not very suitable for achieving this purpose.
  • a gadget is attached (e.g., a pack of cards or other gift of any kind), which the buyer can remove from the label and use separately.
  • the gadget cannot be exploited by the end user and represents a pointless waste of materials and an unnecessary cost for the producer.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a container with label which is practical, easy and functional to use to distribute auxiliary members such as discount coupons, gadgets, elements to be put aside and collected, etc.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a container with label that allows overcoming the mentioned drawbacks of the background art in the ambit of a simple, rational, easy, effective to use and low cost solution.
  • the container 1 comprises a containment member 2 suitable for containing one or more substances.
  • the substances contained in the containment member 2 are preferably in liquid state (such as, e.g., water, soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, etc.) or in powder state (like flour, sugar, etc.), but other embodiments cannot be ruled out wherein the containment member 2 is intended to contain substances in solid state.
  • the containment member 2 consists in a bottle for containing liquids.
  • the containment member 2 consists in any type of vessel, can, brick, box, case, crate, cask, folder, tin, etc.
  • the containment member 2 has an outer surface 2a which, e.g., has a circular-section cylindrical shape.
  • To the outer surface 2a is associable at least a label 3 in sheets.
  • the label 3 is made of a substantially flexible material, such as a plastic film (e.g., PET) or a sheet of paper.
  • the label 3 When the label 3 is made of PET, its thickness varies between about 0.1 and 0.8 mm.
  • the label 3 When instead the label 3 is made of paper, its gram weight varies between 50 and 350 g/m2.
  • Such thickness/gram weight values permit obtaining a label 3 in the form of a sheet flexible enough to wrap around the containment member 2.
  • the label 3 consists in a band with height varying between 5 and 20 cm which wraps around the bottle 2 along the entire circumference of the outer surface 2a.
  • the label 3 has a first face 3a, which is turned substantially facing the outer surface 2a of the containment member 2, and a second face 3b, which is opposite the first face 3a and which bears indications/information 4 concerning the substance contained in the containment member 2.
  • the first face 3a is combined with the outer surface 2a by interposition of a first layer of adhesive material 5.
  • the first layer of adhesive material 5 is preferably only applied on a small part of the label 3.
  • the first layer of adhesive material 5 in fact, is only applied on a first portion of the first face 3a, a second portion of the first face 3a being instead completely without the first layer of adhesive material 5.
  • the removal of the label 3 from the containment member 2 is by tearing off, i.e., lacerating the label in correspondence to the first layer of adhesive material 5.
  • the first layer of adhesive material 5 consists of an adhesive of the removable type and, preferably, it is a glue of the non-reusable type suitable for allowing the separation of the label 3 from the containment member 2 and preventing any fresh gluing again.
  • the first layer of adhesive material 5 produces an adhesive force that can be overcome by the user to manually separate the label 3 from the containment member 2.
  • the adhesive capacity of the first layer of adhesive material 5 is used up and the label 3 can no longer be reattached to the containment member 2 and must be discarded as waste.
  • the container 1 also comprises at least one auxiliary member 6 in sheets.
  • the auxiliary member 6 shows any other type of indication/information 7, not necessarily relating to the indications/information 4 shown on the label 3.
  • the auxiliary member 6 is housed face to face between the outer surface 2a and the first face 3a, the label 3 being removable from the containment member 2 to pick up the auxiliary member 6.
  • auxiliary member 6 is housed face to face between the outer surface 2a and the first face 3a means that the auxiliary member 6 is inserted in the space between the containment member 2 and the label 3, with a face turned towards the outer surface 2a of the containment member 2 and a face turned towards the first face 3a of the label 3.
  • the auxiliary member 6 is made of a substantially flexible material, such as a plastic film or a sheet of paper, in a similar way to the label; it cannot however be ruled out that, alternatively, the auxiliary member 6 consists in a substantially rigid sheet, of the type of a fiche, a card or any sort of sheet gadget.
  • the auxiliary member 6 has a surface extension smaller than the surface extension of the label 3 and is completely covered by the label 3.
  • the label 3 acts as a physical protection for the auxiliary member 6, and that it is not exposed outwards, and, on the other hand, it permits keeping the auxiliary member 6 concealed and not visible until the label itself is removed.
  • the auxiliary member 6 is combined with at least one between the outer surface 2a and the first face 3a by interposition of a second layer of adhesive material 8.
  • the auxiliary member 6 is glued to the first face 3a of the label 3 and is applied to the containment member 2 together with the label itself.
  • Alternative embodiments cannot however be ruled out wherein, instead, the auxiliary member 6 is glued to the outer surface 2a of the containment member 2.
  • the second layer of adhesive material 8 consists in an adhesive of the removable type, e.g. a weak glue or the like, which allows keeping in position the auxiliary member 6 between the outer surface 2a and the first face 3a as long as the label 3 remains combined with the containment member 2, and separating the auxiliary member 6 from the label 3 when the label 3 is removed from the containment member 2.
  • an adhesive of the removable type e.g. a weak glue or the like
  • the second layer of adhesive material 8 is only applied on a small part of the auxiliary member 6, so as to ensure its easier removal.
  • the second layer of adhesive material 8 is only applied on the second portion of the first face 3a, i.e. the one without the first layer of adhesive material 5.
  • the manufacturing process has to be performed comprising the steps of:
  • the step of providing the label 3 comprises providing a sheet 9 wrapped in a reel 10 and cutting the sheet 9 to obtain the label 3 ( figure 4 ).
  • a reel 10 makes the mechanization and the automation of the process easier, making it possible to obtain a plurality of labels 3 in a practical and easy way.
  • auxiliary member 6 to the reel 10
  • auxiliary member 6 to the reel 10
  • machine 11 of the type shown in the figures 6 and 7 , which comprises:
  • control sensors 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d, 20e, 20f e.g., comprise:
  • the auxiliary members 6 to be applied on the sheet 9 consist in a series of self-adhesive labels which, therefore, have an own layer of glue and are rolled to form a roll 21.
  • the application unit 17, therefore, consists in a system that unwinds the roll 21, detaches the self-adhesive labels 6 from the roll 21 and applies them on the sheet 9 which slides along the worktop 16.
  • the auxiliary members 6 to be applied on the sheet 9 are without glue and are arranged one on the other to form a stack 22.
  • the application unit 17, therefore, comprises a dispenser 23 arranged in the proximity of the worktop 16 and suitable for applying the second layer of adhesive material 8 on the sheet 9.
  • the application unit 17 Downstream of the dispenser 23, the application unit 17 comprises a distributor 24 which takes the auxiliary members 6 one by one from the stack 22 and applies them on the sheet 9 which slides along the worktop 16.
  • the labels 3 and the auxiliary members 6 are collected together in the new reel 10, which is subsequently cut to separate the various labels 3.
  • the process contemplates gluing the label 3 to the outer surface 2a ( figure 5 ).
  • the label 3 is made of shrink-wrap material and is shaped to form a tube.
  • the tube 3 is joined to the container 1 without using glue because, once positioned around the containment member 2, it is combined with this by shrink-wrapping.
  • the tube 3 initially has a diameter such as to allow inserting the containment member 2 inside it.
  • the label 3 shrinks and strongly adheres to the walls of the containment member 2.
  • the tube-shaped label 3 For its removal from the container 1, the tube-shaped label 3 comprises at least one pre-established fracture area 25 which can be easily torn.
  • the pre-established fracture area 25 extends along the vertical direction of the container 1 and consists, e.g., of a perforation line or a section with reduced cross section.
  • auxiliary members 6 can be again performed by means of one of the machines 1 shown in the figures 6 and 7 .
  • the sheet 9 must only be rolled around itself to form the tube to be applied to the containment member 2 by shrink-wrapping, as shown in the figures 8 and 9 .
  • the container according to the invention is such as to facilitate its complete disposal and recycling.
  • containers of the traditional type having a label are made of different materials (e.g., cardboard/aluminium for the containment member and PET for the label or glass for the containment member and paper for the label) which, after use, must be separated and recycled separately.
  • auxiliary member 6 requires the user to separate the label 3 from the containment member 2 to recover the auxiliary member itself.
  • the particular solution of providing a first layer of adhesive material 5 of the removable, non-reusable type means that, once the label 3 has been detached, it can no longer be joined to the containment member 2, forcing the user to dispose of it separately.
  • the tube-shaped label 3 rolled around the containment member 2 must be removed by tearing the pre-established fracture area 25, after which it is no longer possible to join it again to the containment member 2.
