Abstract:
A method of producing a hot pour product sampler incorporating the genuine hot pour product that is to be sampled comprising the following steps:conveying a base web substrate;heating the hot pour product to form a substantially liquid flowable hot pour product;applying a thin layer of a hot pour product incorporating the genuine hot pour product that is to be sampled to the base web substrate;cooling the hot pour product sufficiently to form a substantially solid hot pour product layer that adheres to the base web substrate while the base substrate is being conveyed;removing a portion of the hot pour product layer on the base web substrate to form a plurality of spaced apart discrete thin film quantities of hot pour product adhered to the base web substrate while the base web substrate is being conveyed;attaching a cover sheet web over the base web substrate while the base web substrate is being conveyed by use of an adhesive to form a resulting web; anddividing the resulting web substantially longitudinally through areas of the resulting web not having a hot pour product layer into a plurality of individual hot pour product samplers each comprising a base substrate, a hot pour product layer and a cover sheet adhered to the base substrate covering the hot pour product layer.
