ROTATABLE LABEL SYSTEM INCLUDING TAMPER-EVIDENT FEATURE AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING SAME

摘要

A rotatable label system includes a container (130) having a removable closure (132) and a shell (100) of heat-shrinkable material arranged about the container. The shell has a tamper-evident portion (120) which extends over at least a portion of the closure to prevent its removal. The remainder of the shell comprises a rotatable label portion (122) having indicia (114) disposed thereon. The rotatable label portion is provided with at least one transparent window (106) through which co-located indicia disposed on an inner label affixed to the container may be viewed. The rotatable label portion is rotatable relative to the container about a vertical axis thereof to enable viewing of a selected subset of the indicia disposed on the inner label. At least one perforation line (118) divides the tamper-evident portion of the shell from the rotatable label portion and facilitates detachment of the tamper-evident portion. The invention further encompasses techniques for constructing the foregoing label system.
