System and method to adhere a pouch to an insert

Abstract

A container for distributing product samples comprises material configured to form a pocket. A layer of clean release adhesive is disposed on the first external face of the pocket. A first surface of a film is placed adjacent to the layer of clean release adhesive such that the first surface of the film and the first external face of the pocket are releasably attached. A layer of permanent adhesive disposed on a second surface of the film. A surface of a liner is placed adjacent to the permanent adhesive such that the permanent adhesive is exposed if the liner is removed. A product sample may be sealed in a pocket formed from the material.

1 . A container for distributing product samples comprising:
 a sheet configured to form a pocket, the pocket having a first external face and a second external face;   a layer of clean release adhesive disposed on the first external face of the pocket;   a film approximately as wide as the first external face of the pocket, and having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface adjacent to the layer of clean release adhesive such that the first surface of the film and the first external face of the pocket are releasably attached;   a layer of permanent adhesive disposed on the second surface of the film, and having a width approximately equal to a width of the film; and   a liner having a surface adjacent to the permanent adhesive such that the permanent adhesive is exposed if the liner is removed.   
   
   
       2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the pocket contains a product sample. 
   
   
       3 . The container of  claim 2 , wherein the pocket is welded. 
   
   
       4 . The container of  claim 2 , wherein the pocket is peelable. 
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 2 , wherein the layer of clean-release adhesive has a width approximately equal to a width of the first external face of the pocket. 
   
   
       6 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the material is substantially folded along a straight line to form the pocket. 
   
   
       7 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the clean release adhesive layer becomes non-adhesive if the material is removed from the film. 
   
   
       8 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the permanent adhesive bonds to paper such that the paper sustains fiber tear if the film is sought to be separated from the paper. 
   
   
       9 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the permanent adhesive comprises rubber polyurethane. 
   
   
       10 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the permanent adhesive comprises acrylic polyurethane. 
   
   
       11 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the film comprises a polyolefin. 
   
   
       12 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the film is transparent. 
   
   
       13 . A method for generating a sample pouch comprising:
 providing a sheet of material configured to form a pocket having a first external face and a second external face;   applying a clean release adhesive to a portion of the material corresponding to the first external face;   providing a film having a top side and a bottom side;   placing the top side of the film adjacent to the clean release adhesive such that the first face of the pocket is releasably attached to the top side of the film;   applying a permanent adhesive to the bottom side of the film;   providing a liner to which the permanent adhesive does not adhere;   placing the liner adjacent to the permanent adhesive such that the bottom side of the film is releasably attached to the liner;   forming the material into the pocket; and   sealing the product sample in the pocket.   
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 removing the liner; and   placing a paper adjacent to the permanent adhesive such that the bottom side of the film is permanently attached to the paper.   
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the paper undergoes fiber tear if the film is removed from the paper. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein forming the material into the pocket is performed by folding the material along a straight line. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first surface of the film is nonadhesive if the pouch material is removed. 
   
   
       18 . A container for distributing product samples comprising:
 a sheet configured to form a pocket, the pocket having a first external face and a second external face;   a first layer of adhesive disposed on the first external face of the pocket, the first layer of the adhesive having a width approximately equal to a width of the first external face of the pocket;   a film having a width approximately equal to the width of the first external face of the pocket, a first surface, and a second surface, the first surface adjacent to the first layer of adhesive such that the first surface of the film and the first external face of the pocket are releasably attached;   a second layer of adhesive disposed on the second surface of the film, the second layer of adhesive having a width approximately equal to a width of the film; and   a liner having a surface adjacent to the permanent adhesive such that the second layer of adhesive is exposed if the liner is removed.   
   
   
       19 . The container of  claim 18 , wherein the first layer of adhesive comprises a clean release glue which becomes nonadhesive if the material is removed from the film. 
   
   
       20 . The container of  claim 18 , wherein the second layer of adhesive comprises a permanent adhesive. 
   
   
       21 . The container of  claim 18 , wherein the film comprises a plastic film. 
   
   
       22 . The container of  claim 18 , wherein the second layer of adhesive bonds to paper such that the paper sustains fiber tear if the film is sought to be separated from the paper.
