The laminate may further include an adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the first layer to attach the adhesive label to the outer casing and/or the inner liner, for example. Preferably, the adhesive label is attached to the outer casing and the inner liner by a permanent adhesive. The permanent adhesive is preferably disposed on a portion or all of the lower surface of the first layer of the adhesive label.

The first and second layers of the adhesive label are assembled by a polymerization The mixture, or a mixture of a plurality of polymers, is formed. Preferably, the first and second layers are each independently selected from the group consisting of polyethylene (PE), metalized polyethylene terephthalate (MPET), polypropylene (PP), cast polypropylene (CPP), A polymer is formed from one of oriented polypropylene (OPP), biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), or a mixture thereof.

The adhesive label can be made transparent. For the purposes of the present invention, the term transparent means 50% or more, preferably 75% or more, more preferably 90% or more of visible light transmission. If the adhesive label is transparent, the adhesive label is applied so as not to interfere with any of the printing elements present on the surface of the soft cup-shaped package of the present invention. In particular, the adhesive label may be applied to partially or completely cover a tax stamp without detracting from the visibility of the tax stamp.

The adhesive label includes multiple parts that exhibit different functions.

The adhesive label includes a flat belt portion as a pivoting line for the covering portion and the closing portion, and a member lining the outer casing appropriately. The flat belt portion is formed by opposing first and second wing portions that are interconnected via a retaining portion that is disposed between the first and second wing portions. The first and second wings are attached to opposite walls of the outer casing, preferably to the opposite front and back walls of the outer casing. The retaining portion is coupled to the first and second wings and thereby extends across the top wall of the liner. Preferably, the first and second wings are attached to the back wall and the back wall by a permanent adhesive. The first and second wings may be attached to an outer side surface or an inner side surface of the back wall before the outer box. The retaining portion connects the first and second wings and spans the top wall of the liner. Preferably, the retaining portion is adhesively attached to a surface of the top wall of the inner liner, and more preferably the retaining portion of the adhesive label is attached to the top wall of the inner liner by a permanent adhesive. surface. The first and second wings of the strap portion and the holding portion are sized to The tabs of the adhesive label are permitted to properly open and close the package while ensuring that the liner is not inadvertently lost from the outer casing.

The adhesive label includes a cover portion disposed between the flat belt portion of the adhesive label and a closed portion. The cover is adhesively attached to the access portion of the top wall of the liner. That is, when the line of weakness breaks, the cover of the adhesive label, together with the access portion of the liner, forms a cover to open and close the opening in the liner that allows access to the interior of the liner. Preferably, the cover is attached to the top wall surface of the liner by a permanent adhesive. The cover is sized to correspond to the access portion of the top wall of the liner.

The adhesive label further includes a closure that is coupled to the cover. The closure portion is configured and arranged to permit closure of one of the openings of the liner by the cover member. The closure portion includes a tab and a landing area. The tab is formed by a second layer of the laminate of the closure portion of the adhesive label, and the landing region is formed by a corresponding first layer of the laminate of the closure portion. The landing zone is separated from the first layer of the remainder of the adhesive label by being completely physically separated as one of the scores, such as a score. In the closed portion of the adhesive label, the adhesive between the first and second layers of the laminate is a non-permanent adhesive that allows the tab to peel off from the landing area and the tab can be resealed And then attached to the landing area. The landing zone is adhesively attached to one of the side walls of the outer casing such that the cover member is recloseable by releasably attaching the tab to the landing zone. Preferably, the landing zone is attached to one of the side walls of the outer casing by a permanent adhesive. To allow for easy grasping of the tab, the tab and landing zone of the closure portion can include a region in which there is no adhesive between the first and second layers of the laminate. Preferably, the catching area is disposed at a position that allows easy hand operation.

The closure together with the structure of the other functional portions of the adhesive label will result in significant advantages as described above. When the adhesive label is initially applied to the outer cup and the inner liner of the soft cup-shaped package of the present invention, the landing area is attached to the side wall of the outer box, and the cover portion is attached to the top wall of the inner liner. And the flat portion is attached to the opposite wall of the outer box. When the adhesive label is pulled up using the tab of the closure portion, the soft cup-shaped package is opened for the first time, the tab is separated from the landing area, and the landing area remains attached to the side wall of the outer box, and can be The tab is again attached to the landing zone to reseal the soft cup package. Therefore, the soft cup-shaped package is opened and resealed while preventing the tab from directly contacting the surface of the side wall of the outer casing.

By initially pulling up the tab of the adhesive label, the cover portion is raised, the top wall weakening line defining the access portion of the liner will be broken, and an opening is provided that allows access to the interior of the liner. The cover portion, together with the access portion, forms a cover member positioned above the opening of the inner liner, and is detachably sealed by the closure portion of the adhesive label. The strap portion serves as a pivotal line that can be raised or bent around the pivot line by pulling or fastening the tab of the closure portion to open and close the cover member.

The adhesive label of the soft cup package of the present invention may further comprise a plurality of functional elements or portions. For example, the adhesive label may include a reinforcing portion disposed on a side end of the flat belt portion opposite to the covering portion. The reinforcement is preferably attached to the top wall of the liner by a permanent adhesive. The reinforcement provides an additional surface that can be attached to the inner liner of the soft cup package and thus increases the overall adhesion strength of the adhesive label to the soft cup package. In other words, the reinforcement provides additional adhesion to compensate or resist the application of the tab during opening and closing of the package. Add to the power of the adhesive label.

The width of the cover of the adhesive label and the selectively closed and/or reinforcing portion does not exceed the width of the top wall of the liner. This will ensure that the cover does not extend beyond the top wall of the liner and limits the risk of accidental contact with the surface of the outer casing. Avoiding such contact will result in improved operability of the cover during opening and closing of the package. Preferably, the cover, and optionally the width of the closure and/or reinforcement, is in the range of 25% to 99% of the width of the top wall of the liner.

To allow for convenient access to the cigarette product contained in the soft cup-shaped package and to reduce the risk of inadvertent loss of the liner, it is preferred that the adhesive label covers at least half of the outer surface of the top wall of the liner. More preferably, the adhesive label covers at least 75%, or even at least 90% of the outer surface of the top wall of the liner.

In the soft cup-shaped package of the present invention, an adhesive, particularly a permanent and non-permanent adhesive, is used. A permanent adhesive represents an adhesive that cannot be repeatedly released and resealed without significantly losing the adhesive strength. The non-permanent adhesive can be loosened and resealed, and the adhesive strength is not significantly lost under at least 5 release and reseal cycles. Suitable permanent and non-permanent adhesives that are well known to those skilled in the art. Exemplary embodiments of the non-permanent adhesive used herein include a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA).

The adhesive of the first and second layers of the cover of the adhesive label is bonded together by a permanent adhesive to ensure that when the tab is pulled up, the cover will be associated with the top wall of the liner The access portion is lifted together to uncover the opening in the liner and allows proper access to the cigarette product in the liner. Preferably, the adhesive label is a permanent adhesive bonded to the first and second layers of the laminate except the closure portion, and the adhesive portion is The landing zone and the tab are joined by a non-permanent adhesive. In particular, the adhesive of the first and second layers of the laminate of the adhesive portion of the adhesive label is a permanent adhesive.

Excessive force applied during pulling up the tab can cause damage to the adhesive label; in particular, the passage from the cover to the web portion can be affected. To ensure that the function of the adhesive label is ensured even if an undue force has been applied, a predetermined break point can be used. To assist, in addition to the first layer of physical separation between the closure portion and the cover portion, the first layer of the laminate of the cover portion can be separated from the first layer of the flat ribbon portion by physical separation. These physical separations can be formed into scores. Further, the adhesive for bonding the first and second layers of the laminate of the holding portion of the adhesive label may be a non-permanent adhesive. If so, preferably, the second layer of the laminate of the flat strip portion is weakened to define a predetermined breaking line in a region where the holding portion is respectively transferred to the first and second wing portions to allow the region The first and second layers are separated. The weakening is preferably oriented in the pull-up direction of the tab, such as the weakening can be configured perpendicular to the width of the liner. The weakening can be assisted by removing the material of the second layer along the established fracture line. This weakening can be achieved by perforations, a slit or a groove, or a combination thereof. This will allow the second layer of the retaining portion to be partially torn from the second layer of the first and second wings while maintaining the physical integrity of the first layer of the adhesive label in the region, And the power to release too much. Therefore, even if the second layer is torn, the adhesive label will still function because the first layer is intact in the area.
