  • Patent Document 2 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2001-130621
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a sealing label providing superior identification function, greater convenience of use and achieving manufacturing cost reduction, as well as a container wrapped with such sealing label.
  • a sealing label for wrapping a container including a container body and a lid portion detachably attached to an outlet of the container body, the sealing label comprising:
  • a tear-off line provided in a boundary between the cutaway region and the lower region as well as in a boundary between the cutaway region and the upper region;
  • an identifying mark comprised of a shape, a pattern, a color or any combination thereof is provided to the lower region and a further identifying mark same as or similar to the identifying mark is provided to the upper region, a region comprised of the upper region and the cutaway region or a region comprised of the upper region, the cutaway region and the lower region, thereby to allow recognition of integrity (unity) between the lid portion and the container body.
  • a further identifying mark same as or similar to an identifying mark comprised of a shape, a pattern, a color or any combination thereof and provided to the lower region is provided to the upper region, a region comprised of the upper region and the cutaway region or a region comprised of the upper region, the cutaway region and the lower region, integrity (unity) between the lid portion and the container body can be readily recognized.
  • the identifying mark comprised of a shape, a pattern, a color or any combination thereof can be an indication which can be easily recited or referred to by the user and which can be of great variety, such as a graphic pattern of a triangle, a square, a rhombus, a circle, a star shape, a crescent shape, a heart shape, etc. or a single letter such as an alphabet character or a Japanese “hiragana” character, etc. Therefore, even when the contents of the container exist in great variety, identifying marks for each common contents can be readily created.
  • the identifying mark comprised of a shape, a pattern, a color or any combination thereof can be readily recognized by vison-handicapped persons if the indication is provided with e.g. embossing treatment.
  • the cutaway region is disposed between the upper region and the lower region of the sealing label, the upper region and the lower region will remain attached to the lid portion and the container body respectively, after unsealing. So, the integrity between the lid portion and the container body can be maintained during the period of continued use of the container.

  • a plurality of identifying marks are provided in the lower region or the region including at least the upper region of the sealing label.
  • This arrangement enables visual recognition of the identifying marks from any viewing angle in the circumferential direction of the container.
  • the lid portion is to be removed. Therefore, by providing a plurality of the same or similar identifying marks in the upper region covering the lid portion and the lower region covering the container body, visual recognizability is improved. Consequently, the erroneous attachment by the user which could occur between the container body and the lid portion can be prevented in a reliable manner.
  • a tab portion for unsealing is provided in the cutaway region.
  • the leading end direction of the tab portion can be in any one of the upper region, the cutaway region and the lower region in order to facilitate gripping thereof.
  • an adhesive agent is applied to a predetermined area of back faces of the upper region and the lower region.
  • a container to which the sealing label of the invention is attached is obtained by wrapping the inventive sealing label over a container.
  • the inventive sealing label allows addition of an identifying mark to a surface of this sealing label by a simple method such as printing. And, there is no need to provide the identifying mark directly to the lid portion and the container body. Thus, the label can contribute also to reduction of manufacturing cost.
  • a top face of the lid portion may be provided with a further identifying mark same as or similar to the identifying mark provided in the sealing label and comprised of a shape, a pattern, a color or any combination thereof.
  • the integrity (unity) between the container body and the lid portion can be recognized also from the upper side of the container.

  • the second region 20 is formed on the left side of the upper region 11 , thus being disposed in such a manner not to provide any adverse effect to the identifying marks 3 provided in the upper region 11 . Therefore, this second region 20 achieves enhancement of the visibility of the cutaway region 13 while maintaining the recognizability of the sealing label 1 . Further, since this second region 20 is formed with inclination, the tab portion 18 can be gripped with greater ease at the time of opening of the sealing label. 1 . Notwithstanding the above, the second region 20 can also be formed without inclination to extend perpendicularly to the first region 19 .
  • the second region 20 includes a right side in which the cut portions 16 extend continuously to the perforation line 14 and a left side in which the cut portions 16 and the uncut portions 17 extend continuously to the perforation line 15 .
  • the right side cut portions 16 are formed large so as to facilitate gripping of the tab portion 18 and the uncut portions 17 are provided on the left side.
  • the uncut portions 17 can be provided in the right side too.
  • FIGS. 15 through 17 show modes of the identifying marks 3 comprised of a shape, a pattern, a color or any combination thereof.

That is, respecting the two identifying marks 3 provided in the region including at least the upper region 11 or the lower region 12 , either one on the left or the right can be omitted. Further, the plurality of identifying marks 3 provided in the upper region 11 can be provided in any desired combination of the upper region 11 , the region consisting of the upper region 11 and the cutaway region 13 or the region consisting of the upper region 11 , the cutaway region 13 and the lower region 12 .
  • the identifying marks 3 shown in FIGS. 15 through 17 are provided with color tone difference from the remaining portion.
  • the color tone can be same.
  • FIG. 18 shows a front view showing a sealing label 1 relating to a further embodiment.
  • the tab portion 18 is formed to extend from the cutaway region 13 in the first embodiment. With this, the tab portion 18 can be gripped more easily, so that opening of the sealing label 1 can be facilitated.
  • the tab portion 18 is formed integral with the cutaway region 13 .
  • the tab portion 18 can be formed separately of the cutaway region 13 and can be subsequently bonded to this cutaway region 13 . This arrangement allows any desired orientation of the leading end of the tab portion 18 in the vertical direction as well as in the right/left direction.
