Special Patented Booklet/Foldout Labels for small round containers:  
A special patented booklet label that is designed to handle small diameters well. It's comprised of an offset printed booklet or pamphlet laminated to a die cut pressure sensitive label just like our standard booklet/foldout labels with one major exception: one laminated wing extends beyond the base label to lay directly on the silicone carrier liner. As this booklet label is applied, the extended wing opens slightly reducing tension until the labeling equipment tamps it down. With the tension gone, the label gets a nicer lay down on the product and is much easier to open. Pharmaceutical companies really love this design. You need to see the pictures to truly understand the concept. All other specs are the same as the booklet/foldout/extended content labels above. Two dies are required. This label must be applied with the folded or bound edge first. A special "zig-zag" die cut is available to ensure that the lot and date codes stay with the product if the booklet is removed. Hand or machine applied. Patent number: 5,399,403

NEW. Micro Miniature Booklet Labels (MMBL):
An offset printed booklet or pamphlet glued to a die cut pressure sensitive label. We can make the MMBL as small as 1/2" x 1 1/2 " and is designed for the smallest diameters including vials. It's the perfect solution for labeling unit doses. We coat the pamphlet with two proprietary adhesives; one to keep it permanently attached to the base label and the other to make it easy to open. Because we glue the pamphlet to the base web rather than laminating it, our MMBLs can bend around very small diameters without the buckling you associate with laminated booklet labels. Buckling occurs on small diameters because the laminate holds its form and won't stretch beyond its original application on press. We can zone laminate the cover if the laminated look is required. The pressure sensitive base label is made of paper or film and can be printed up to 10 colors. Booklet Labels are produced on rolls for manual or automatic application. No minimum runs. 3" or 6" cores. The pamphlet or booklet is offset printed with as many as 8 colors including process. Trademarked name: MMBL
