Reconfigurable label assembly

摘要

A reconfigurable label assembly including a container capable of storing or holding a liquid and a front panel, a back panel, a bottom panel, and side panels configured primarily as a label and secondarily as a receptacle capable of holding the liquid separate from the container is presented. The bottom and side panels are disposed between and substantially parallel to the front panel and back panels in a first configuration to form a label attached to and separable from the container. The front and back panels are separable and the bottom and side panels are expandable to form a receptacle in a second configuration after the label is separated from the container. The back panel includes a fold. The side and back panels are disposed between and substantially parallel to the front panel and bottom panel in a first configuration to form a label. The front and bottom panels are separable and the side and back panels are expandable to form a receptacle in a second configuration. The side panels may include additional folds facilitating transformation from a label to a receptacle and from a receptacle to a label.
