Abstract

A system includes a container and a security label. The container is divisible into a plurality of parts and has a container body and a removable container closure. The security label has a first label section and a second label section forming respective parts of a common material web and a severing element which is arranged between the first and second label section with respect to a longitudinal axis of the security label. The security label is applied to the container such that the first label section is attached to the container body and the second label section surrounds the container closure. The second label section is formed such that the security label is closed along an edge line above the container closure by gluing and/or welding such that the second label section encloses the removable container closure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a container divisible into a plurality of parts, comprising a container body for receiving an ingredient and a removable container closure, and
a security label, comprising a first label section and a second label section which each form a respective part of a common material web, and a severing element which is arranged between the first and second label section along a longitudinal axis of the security label,
wherein the security label does not comprise shrink film material,
wherein the security label is applied to the container such that the first label section is attached to the container body and the second label section surrounds the container closure, the second label section being formed such that the security label is closed along an edge line above the removable container closure by welding such that the second label section encloses the removable container closure, so that when the container applied with the security label is opened, the security label is predeterminedly severable by the severing element and the second label section is removable together with the removable container closure from the first label section and the container body, and
wherein the end of the second label section is sealed to itself by welding along the edge line.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the security label comprises an adhesive layer disposed on an underside of the first label section, such that the security label is attached on the container body by adhesion.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the security label has an adhesive-free surface in the region of the severing element.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the severing element is formed in a transition between the container body and the removable container closure.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the severing element comprises a perforation and/or a tear strip.

6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the second label section comprises at least one of a punching, a fold line and a print layer.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the security label comprises an indicator layer disposed in the region of the severing element on the first and/or second label section, configured to indicate removal of the second label section from the first label section.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the closed edge line is formed straight or rounded.
