Abstract
Abstract An improved resealable folded label structure provided with a graduated pressure-sensitive adhesive profile which is applied to the label front cover contact side of an outer protective overlaminate so that the label cover adhesion surface and hinge connecting tab portion of the outer protective overlaminate have a substantially thicker pressure-sensitive adhesive layer than does the over-lap opening and resealing tab portion thereof, such that if a user inadvertently attempts to open the label from the hinge tab side, being the wrong side, the extra adhesive thickness applied thereto will provide sufficient adhesion to prevent delamination damage to the label until such time as the user realizes their error and then proceeds to open the label from the proper over-lapping reseal tap side.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
209 words
An improved resealable folded label structure comprising in combination, a carrier liner backing paper having applied to the upper side thereof a silicone release medium, a film base having applied to the underside thereof a label application adhesive to detachably bond said film base to said silicone release medium, a folded label insert adapted to be supportably disposed upon the upward side of said film base and provide a hinge connecting tab portion one side thereof upon said film base and an over-lap opening and resealing tab portion the other side thereof upon said film base, an overlaminate film having applied to the underside thereof a graduated adhesive profile wherein the thickness of said graduated adhesive profile upon a corresponding over-lap opening and resealing tab portion thereof is less than that of the adhesive thickness on the remainder thereof which remainder is adapted to adhesively engage and laminately bond said overlaminate film to the hinge connecting tab portion of said film base and a label cover panel of said folded label insert and releasably bond said corresponding over-lap opening and resealing tab portion to the over-lap opening and resealing tab portion of said film base to provide an opening and resealing capability for said improved resealable folded label structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
209 words
An improved resealable folded label structure comprising in combination, a carrier liner backing paper having applied to the upper side thereof a silicone release medium, a film base having applied to the underside thereof a label application adhesive to detachably bond said film base to said silicone release medium, a folded label insert adapted to be supportably disposed upon the upward side of said film base and provide a hinge connecting tab portion one side thereof upon said film base and an over-lap opening and resealing tab portion the other side thereof upon said film base, an overlaminate film having applied to the underside thereof a graduated adhesive profile wherein the thickness of said graduated adhesive profile upon a corresponding over-lap opening and resealing tab portion thereof is less than that of the adhesive thickness on the remainder thereof which remainder is adapted to adhesively engage and laminately bond said overlaminate film to the hinge connecting tab portion of said film base and a label cover panel of said folded label insert and releasably bond said corresponding over-lap opening and resealing tab portion to the over-lap opening and resealing tab portion of said film base to provide an opening and resealing capability for said improved resealable folded label structure.
