Patent ID: 11279541

Abstract:
A resealable container for consumer goods comprises: a package of consumer goods with a cover portion partially separable from the remainder of the package to provide an access opening; and a reclosable adhesive label overlying the cover portion. The label comprises at least a bottom layer and a top layer. The bottom layer comprises a cut-out portion extending at least about the periphery of the cover portion and is affixed to the package by means of a permanent adhesive provided on a first area of the inner surface of the bottom layer extending about the periphery of the cover portion. The top layer is at least partly permanently affixed to the package by means of a first adhesive provided on a back hinge area of the package, and at least partly releasably affixed to the bottom layer by means of a second adhesive provided on a peeling area of the inner surface of the top layer extending distal from the hinge area and at least over a region of the cover portion. Thus, the top layer is movable from a closed position, wherein the top layer overlies at least the cut-out portion of the bottom layer, and an open position, wherein the top layer is lifted off the bottom layer. In addition, a bottom layer height is less than a top layer height or a bottom layer width is less than a top layer width or both. Thus, the peeling area of the inner surface of the top layer extends at least partially beyond a periphery of the bottom layer to overlie the package.
