Product information label system

Abstract

Product information label system having a base member and a foldout medical information pamphlet which is applied to medicinal and drug containers where the foldout pamphlet is resealable for subsequent use.

1. A product information label system comprising:
 a. a planar base member having upper and lower surfaces, said lower surface being fixable to a product, a product container, or a product package;  
 b. a transparent plastic laminate having upper and lower surfaces, said lower surface having a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive thereon;  
 c. a pamphlet composed of multiple fold out panels formed from a single piece of material, each panel having printed information on one or both sides thereof, one of said multiple fold out panels defining a bottom panel, another of said multiple fold out panels defining a cover panel and being adhesively attached to said layer of pressure sensitive adhesive on said lower surface of said transparent plastic laminate, and the others of said multiple fold out panels being folded and positioned between said bottom panel and said cover panel;  
 d. a first edge of said transparent plastic laminate extending beyond said pamphlet in a first direction and being adhesively attached to said upper surface of said planar base member by said pressure sensitive adhesive on said lower surface of said transparent plastic laminate to thereby form a living hinge;  
 e. said planar base member having a first strip of ultraviolet cured release coating material on its  said upper surface adjacent to an edge thereof;  
 f. a second edge of said transparent plastic laminate extending beyond said pamphlet in a second direction and being releasably attached to said  a second strip of said ultraviolet cured release coating material, located adjacent said second edge, by said pressure sensitive adhesive on said lower surface of said transparent plastic laminate; and,  
 g. said product information system further being characterized by the complete absence of any adhesive of any kind between said bottom panel of said pamphlet and said planar base member; such that, 
 said pressure sensitive adhesive on said lower surface of said transparent plastic laminate can be released from said second strip of said ultraviolet cured release coating material on said upper surface of said planar base member to permit said transparent plastic laminate to be opened about said living hinge to thereby gain access to both sides of all of said fold out panels of said pamphlet for browsing of said printed information thereon.  
 
 
     
     
       2. A product information label system comprising:
 a. a planar base member having upper and lower surfaces, said lower surface being fixable to a product, a product container, or a product package, and said upper surface having a strip of ultraviolet cured release coating material thereon adjacent to an edge thereof;  
 b. a folded pamphlet composed of multiple aligned fold out panels formed from a single piece of material, each panel having printed information on one or both sides thereof, one of said multiple fold out panels defining a bottom panel, another of said multiple fold out panels defining a cover panel, and the others of said multiple fold out panels being folded and positioned between said bottom panel and said cover panel so as to be bounded by confines of said cover panel;  
 c. said bottom panel of said folded pamphlet being permanently secured to said upper surface of said planar base member by an  a first layer of hot melt adhesive; and,  
 d. said cover panel of said folded pamphlet having an edge extending beyond said bottom panel and beyond all of said panels between said bottom panel and said cover panel to a position overlying said strip of ultraviolet cured release coating material on said upper surface of said planar base member, said edge of said cover panel having a second layer of hot melt adhesive thereon contacting said strip of ultraviolet cured release coating material on said upper surface of said planar base member; such that, said folded pamphlet can be opened to allow browsing of said printed information on said panels by releasing said second hot melt adhesive layer on said cover panel from said strip of ultraviolet cured release coating material on said upper surface of said planar base member and folding out said panels.
