Removable sampler

Abstract

The removable sampler attaches to a card and then separates from the card after a journey through the mail. The removable sampler has a backer with one or more glue strips, and a sampler with one or more perforations and one or more tabs upon the glue strips but detaching from the perforation. Upon lifting, the sampler separates and detaches along the perforations. A tab remains behind in a magazine or a mail piece to meet postal regulations. The removable sampler uses permanent adhesive to affix the tabs to the backer. The sampler may include foil and no-foil structure packets, flow wraps, three sided and four sided seal pouches, and cosmetic or fragrance sampling items.

1 . A device for sending cosmetics and fragrances through the mail to a consumer consisting substantially of a backer, and a sampler:
 said backer being one of the cardstock, a magazine insert, a catalog page, or a direct mail piece;   said backer having a generally rectangular shape including longitudinal axis defining a length of said backer, a lateral axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, and a perimeter denoting the extent of said backer;   said backer having two mutually parallel and spaced apart glue strips parallel to the lateral axis of said backer and proximate to the perimeter of said backer, said glue strips being linear;   said sampler, having a generally rectangular shape of lesser size than said backer said sampler being pressed upon said backer and having two perforations parallel to said glue strips and major portion of said sampler within said perforations, said perforations having a generally linear shape, extending across said sampler, and being mutually parallel and spaced apart with notches at opposite ends wherein a consumer separates said major portion from said backer, and,   two taps being mutually parallel and spaced apart upon said sampler, said sampler overlaying said backer, each of said tabs respectively adhering to one of said glue strips connecting said sampler to said backer and the major portion of said sampler detaching from between said tabs at said perforations by a consumer;   wherein said tabs remain upon said backer after a consumer detaches the major portion of said sampler during usage.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the sampler consists of a single layer of fiberboard. 
     
     
         3 . A device for sending cosmetics and fragrances through the mail to a consumer comprising:
 a backer being one of cardstock, a magazine insert, a catalog page, or a direct mail piece;   said backer having a generally rectangular shape including a longitudinal axis defining a length of said backer, a lateral axis perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, and a perimeter denoting the extent of said backer;   said backer having two mutually parallel an spaced apart glue strips parallel to the lateral axis of said backer and proximate to the perimeter of said backer, said glue strips being linear;   a sampler, consisting of a single layer, having a generally rectangular shape of lesser size than said backer said sampler being pressed upon said backer and having two perforations parallel to said glue strips and a major portion of said sampler within said perforations, said perforations having a generally linear shape, extending across said sampler, and being mutually parallel and spaced apart with notches at opposite ends wherein a consumer separates said major portion from said backer, and,   two tabs being mutually parallel and spaced apart upon said sampler, said sampler overlaying said backer, each of said tabs respectively adhering to one o said glue strips connecting said sampler to said backer and the major portion of said sampler detaching from between said tabs at said perforations by a consumer;   wherein said tabs remain upon said backer after a consumer detaches the major portion of said sampler during usage.   
     
     
         4 . The device of claim. 1  wherein the sampler consists of a single layer of fiberboard.
