Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1145971A2] A multi-ply composite container (10) for consumer products is provided having a tubular body ply (12) and a film label ply (14). The tubular body ply (12) is formed of paperboard material, and the film label ply (14) is peelably adhered to the outer surface of the tubular body ply (12). The film label ply (14) is comprised of a polymeric film having inner and outer layers formed from polymeric materials. The inner layer is permanently bonded to the outer layer such that the layers provide a film label ply (14) having predictable tear characteristics, yet having the necessary strength to prevent premature rupture of the container (10). An adhesive is applied on at least a portion of the inner layer of the film label ply (14). The adhesive is for peelably adhering the label ply to the outer surface of the tubular body ply (12). A plurality of perforations or a laser score may also be included for directed a tear in the film label ply (14). Graphical matter can be included on at least a portion of the inner or outer layer of the film label ply (14). <IMAGE>
