89. A process for distributing booklets to retail stores, including the steps of: (a) coupling said booklets to respective ones of the packaging for the food or drink item of claim 51; and (b) distributing said respective ones of the packaging for the food or drink item, each having a booklet coupled thereto, to one or more of said retail stores.
93. A system for distributing booklets to retail stores, including the steps of: (a) coupling said booklets to respective ones of the packaging for the food or drink item of claim 69; and (b) distributing said respective ones of the packaging for the food or drink item, each having a booklet coupled thereto, to one or more of said retail stores.
Alternatively, the booklet is coupled to the bottle upper and lower lugs 34a,34b that extend towards each other from opposite sides of the recess 24, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. When the booklet 28 is seated in the recess 24, the lugs 34a,34b extend over the front side 30 of the booklet 28 and retain the booklet 28 in a seated position, in the manner shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. The bottle 20 can include additional/alternative lugs (not shown) that extend towards each other from other sides of the recess 24.
The bottle 20 shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 includes alternative upper and lower lugs 36a,36b for coupling the booklet 28 to the bottle 10. The upper and lower lugs 36a,36b extend towards each other from opposite sides of the recess 24. The lugs 36a,36b extend across the width their respective ends of the of the recess 24. The booklet 28 is coupled to the bottle 20 by inserting a first end of the booklet 28 into a gap defined by the upper lug 36a overhanging the recess 24, and then inserting a second end of the booklet 28 into a gap defined by the lower lug 36b overhanging the recess 24. When the booklet 28 is seated in the recess 24 in the described manner, the lugs 36a,36b extend over the front side 30 of the booklet 28 and retain the booklet 28 in a seated position. The bottle 20 can include additional/alternative lugs (not shown) that extend towards each other from other sides of the recess 24.
The booklet 54 is a generally rectangular sheet of material that includes a series of panels, each being separated by a longitudinal crease in the material. The first panel 54a is coupled to a side of the bottle 50 by an adhesive, for example. In a closed condition of use, the second panel 54b is folded back over the first panel 54a; the third panel 54c is folded back over the second panel 54b; and the fourth panel 54d is folded back over the third panel 54c. When so arranged, the panels 56 overlie one another and can be secured in that position by a fastener, such as an adhesive.
In the expanded condition of use shown in FIG. 20, the panels 54a,54b,54c,54d of the booklet 54 are arranged so that the literature which they bear can be read by a person. In this arrangement, all panels except for the first panel 54a can bear literature on both sides.
The booklet 66 is preferably a magazine 66, or any other suitable means for bearing literature such as a card. The booklet 66 include three panels 70a,70b,70c, each being separated by a longitudinal spine 68a,68b. The panels 70a,70b,70c each include a plurality of associated pages 72 of literature, such as news items and entertainment items. The two spines 68a,68b permit the booklet 66 to be arranged in a generally triangular shape so as to be seated in the recess 64 of the bottle 60 in the manner shown in FIG. 24. When so arranged, the outer cover 74 of the booklet 66 is generally coplanar with the outer peripheral surface of the packaging 60, for example. Alternatively, the outer cover 74 of the booklet 66 lies parallel to the outer peripheral surface of the packaging 60 when the booklet 64 is seated in the recess 64 in the manner shown in FIG. 24.
b. A non-laminate section 176a of the first part 176 of the base label laminate 178 is arranged so as to partially overlie a non-laminate section 174a of the second part 174 of the base label laminate 178, as shown in FIG. 39;
The step of rolling the label laminate 172 over the tubular body 164 of the bottle 160 includes the step of coupling the base laminate 178 to the bottle by way of a fastener, such as an adhesive, for example. The step of rolling the label laminate 172 over the tubular body 164 also includes the step of sealing the cover label laminate 180 to the base label laminate 178. The booklet 170 is thereby sealed in a laminate envelope that is coupled to the outer peripheral section of the tubular body 164 of the bottle. As the label laminate 172 rolls across the outer peripheral surface of the generally cylindrical tubular body 164 of the bottle 160, the non-laminated section 174a of the second part 174 of the base label laminate 178 slides under the non-laminated section 176a of the first part 176 of the base label laminate 178. In doing so, the base label laminate 178 tends not to gather and bunch up as it is rolled around the cylindrical surface of the tubular body 164 of the bottle 160. This kind of crumpling typically occurs when two parallel sheets of material are wrapped around a curved surface.
In an alternative embodiment, the above-described method steps involved in coupling the booklet 170 the step of arranging the non-laminate section 176a of the first part 176 to overlie the non-laminate section 174a of the second part 174 of the base label laminate 178 is omitted. In this embodiment, the non-laminated section 174a of the second part 174 slides under the non-laminated section 176a of the first part 176 of the base label laminate 178 as the label laminate 172 rolls across the outer peripheral surface of the generally cylindrical tubular body 164 of the bottle 160.
