Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1024469A2] A self-adhesive label for a container, such as a pharmaceutical bottle, comprises three sections. The first and third sections adhere the label to the bottle. The second section is contiguous with the first section, and is attached to the third section by means of a perforation. This second section is the "peel-away" section and contains printed information on both its front and rear surfaces. The second section has a non-adhesive rear surface and contains a tab for ease of gripping. The second section may be torn along the perforation by use of the grip tab, to enable viewing of the information printed on the rear surface of the second section of the label. The second section can then swing free of the bottle, yet remains attached to the first section. After reading the information contained on the rear surface of the second section, the consumer can than reseal this portion of the label to its original position on the bottle. This is possible due to the presence of relatively minute spots of adhesive on the rear surface of the second label section which will reseal the label to the bottle until such a time as the consumer wishes to reopen the label. <IMAGE>
