Dry peel cosmetic sampler

Abstract

A dry peel cosmetic sampler including a series of plies or layers of material such as polymer, polyethylene, foil, a polymer sheet lined with foil, paper, all of which plies have equivalent dimensions, so that when the sampler is assembled, with all of its plies have no separate edges, when assembled for processing and application to a carrier such as a newspaper, magazine page, and the like. The sampler includes a top ply, a bottom ply, an intermediate ply, having a well formed therein, a sample of cosmetic is applied, and all of said plies are heat sealed through a mild application that allows for the top ply to peel free from the middle and bottom plies during usage. A dry peel base label is secured by a dry peel adhesive to the underside of the bottom ply, so that when the sampler is received by the consumer, the entire sampler can be released from the dry peel base, and conveyed or used separately. A release liner secures a supply of pressure sensitive adhesive to the bottom of the dry peel base, so that when the sampler is applied to a carrier, such as a sheet, brochure, card, or other type of carrier, the release liner may be separated manually or by machinery and applied to such carrier in preparation for its delivery to the potential consumer.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a cosmetic or fragrance sampler that has the following technical effects: it is easier to use, can be applied to different carriers, and can be separated from its carrier for individual handling and testing. Its design allows it to be easily attached to a carrier label, which remains adhered to the carrier and the sample can be easily removed and used separately. The sample is applied over the entire surface of the carrier, making it more convenient and less prone to damage or obstructions. The sampler is held by a dry peel adhesive to a base, which can be easily separated and attached to a further support using a permanent and pressure-sensitive adhesive. The sample also has an integral tab that facilitates the removal of a top ply to expose the contained fragrance or cosmetic for application by the user.

Problems solved by technology

A dry peel adhesive, as known, adheres to components when wet, but after drying or curing, it is a very low tack and when separated, or broken, does not exhibit any adhesive properties.
