Abstract

An extended content booklet label having a substrate, a folded booklet (900s, 900m, 900f) and overlaminate (640a). The overlaminate (640a) is applied to secure the multi-up book (900s, 900m, 900f) to the substrate. The area between the booklet (900s, 900m, 900f) and the substrate is devoid of adhesive so that the substrate can conform to the shape of a container (800) without interference from the booklet (900s, 900m, 900f). The booklet (900s, 900m, 900f) is held closed against the substrate by the overlaminate (640a) which extends beyond the booklet (900s, 900m, 900f) to adhere to the substrate or the container (800). The overlaminate (640a) can pivot away from the container (800) to an open position where the booklet (900s, 900m, 900f) can be unfolded to access all of the pages.

Abstract

A method of manufacturing an extended content booklet label. A multi-up book includes folds that are parallel to the book's spine. The multi-up book is disposed on the label web and held in place by an overlaminate. The overlaminate, book log and labels are all pre-trimmed in the longitudinal direction. The web is moved passed cutting elements to progressively slit the web and trim the major web into minor webs in which the overlaminate, booklets and labels are trimmed in the width direction to have a common edge.

Abstract

A method, system and apparatus is provided for identifying pharmaceutical products. A database of known pharmaceuticals is provided with links to virtual 3D models of each pharmaceutical. When a pill needs to be identified, an image of the pill is transmitted to the database CPU. The CPU screens out non-matching records and obtains perspective data based on the orientation of the pill. The CPU manipulates a 3D model into the same perspective as the pill to facilitate identification.
