Product Label Wristband with Multi-Adhesive Peelable Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional event wristbands lack integration with products and fail to effectively promote sponsors, often being distributed without additional promotional value.
Innovation Solution
A product label wristband design featuring multiple adhesives and a removable peelable portion that can be affixed to a product package, allowing easy detachment to form a wristband for event access while promoting the product and its packaging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If wristbands are provided as standalone items, then they can be easily distributed, but they fail to promote products or sponsors effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the wristband with a product label, creating a dual-function item that serves both as product identification and event access authorization. The wristband is integrated into the product packaging label, so that removing the label from the product simultaneously creates the wearable wristband, thereby merging distribution and promotion functions into one actionable item
2Reliability
If wristbands are made from multiple materials with adhesives, then they can be securely affixed to products and worn, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The wristband label is divided into distinct functional segments: a product information portion that remains on the container, and a wristband portion that is removed and worn. Adhesives are strategically placed at specific segments (leading end, trailing end, and intermediate portions) to enable controlled separation and attachment, simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining secure attachment where needed
3Reliability
If adhesive is placed at both ends of the wristband label, then the wristband can be securely wrapped around a wrist, but the label cannot be easily removed from the product
Solution Approach 1:
Different adhesive properties are applied to different local regions of the label. The first adhesive at the leading end is designed to be removable from the product container, while the second adhesive at the trailing end and third adhesive at intermediate portions are designed to securely attach to the wrist. This local differentiation of adhesive characteristics enables both easy removal from product and secure wear on wrist
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The wristband effectively promotes the product and provides event access authorization, enhancing sponsor visibility and user experience through its design and functionality.
Implementation Method 1
a first adhesive deposited on the back side and at or near the first end of the length of material
Implementation Method 2
a second adhesive deposited on the opposite side of the material from where it contacts the first adhesive
Implementation Method 3
a third adhesive that anchors the product label wristband to a product package or container
Data Source
AI summary
A product label wristband includes a first adhesive covered by and in contact with a material and a second adhesive on the covering material on a side opposite that in contact with the first adhesive and a third adhesive that anchors the product label wristband to a product package or container. In another embodiment, the anchor adhesive is not required. The product label wrist band is peeled from the product package or container to form a wristband used to provide authorization for access to an event.
