Protective tamper-evident label and bottle cap

摘要

An improved, tamper-evident (10) label and bottle cap (1) to be used with standard five gallon bottles (20); such bottle cap (1) of the type having a central tube section (7) capable of receiving a dispensing probe which is part of a dispensing system. A micro-thin, plastic label (10) is heat-sealed to the face of the bottle cap, thereby protecting the central tube section (7) from any external contaminants. An edge of the label (11) is left unsealed to provide a means for peeling the label from the bottle cap when the bottle is to be installed. By virtue of the heat-sealing method of attachment, the tamper-evident label cannot be reattached to the face of the bottle cap, or any other surface, once it is removed. <IMAGE>
