Description

Universal label

The invention relates to a steam-sterilizable universal label, preferably the

Sandwich construction for sterile goods packaging, which is intended and adapted to be applicable both to soft packaging and hard packaging. The

Universal label has different adhesives with different

Adhesive properties, which are covered so that they can be exposed individually or separately to each other for their respective adhesive engagement.

Background of the invention

On production labels, information is printed on, for example, the screen located in the sterile package and / or the production process (for example, thermal transfer printing). On the label is usually also a

Process indicator to verify that the sterile package has been sterilized. Production labels with an imprinted indicator used for sterilization detection are state of the art. Production labels are either labels with one or two adhesive surfaces (double labels)

designed. The top layer of the double label serves to allow sticking in the patient file.

Production labels for steam-sterilisable sterile packaging have been glued on flexible packaging. For hard packs like

Sterile containers, however, the production labels are often inserted into a drawer outside of the sterile container. The paper or film for protecting the adhesive backing of the label thereby remains on the adhesive layer, i. The label is not stuck to the surface of the sterile container, but together with one

Insert the cover foil on the glue back into the drawer provided for this purpose.

State of the art

DE 198 09 318 C1 discloses a sterilization detection label for detecting sterilization performed. A carrier layer is on a first Surface with adhesive and on a second, the first surface

opposite side provided with a detection layer, which at a

Sterilization treatment irreversibly changes the color. DE 101 14 104 A1 discloses a double label, a production method and an apparatus for producing the same. In the method for the production of double labels two unequal size labels are glued together on their sides facing each other. The two labels are sized so that in the known double label one label protrudes with a free part of its adhesive surface on the other label.

For marking sterile goods packages such as hard packs (e.g.

Sterile containers) and soft packs (e.g., sterile bags) with the same

However, label type is always a fastening device (front panel) to the

Hard packing required. The past, adhesive label solutions can be stuck either only on soft packaging or hard packaging. A residue-free removable label for hard packs, which can be used for all types of sterile packagings, including soft packs, does not exist. So far, two different labels and thus two thermal transfer printer or a change of the label material are required.

Brief summary of the invention

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a label for the labeling of the package contents, which can be used for the permanent documentation in the patient file after sterilization. After

Sterilization, the top layer of the label should be removed and used for documentation. The label should be able to be stuck on soft packaging as well as on hard packaging. The label of hard packs should be able to detach again without residue.

This problem is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are claimed in the subclaims and are explained in more detail below. The essence of the invention is a universal label for identifying both hard and soft Sterilgutverpackungen with a

information-bearing and an adhesive-carrying section or area

provide. An adhesive-carrying portion or region has at least two adhesive surfaces or sides with different adhesives different

Adhesive properties, which are covered so that they can be exposed individually or separately to each other for their respective adhesive engagement. In other words, the universal label / production label / label /

Sandwich label for marking sterile goods packaging on its underside / label underside (lower label area) at least two different adhesives or adhesive surfaces, with a cover foil on the underside of the label.

The universal label may also be referred to as label / production label / sandwich label. The identification of the information-bearing section or area can be carried out in any known characterizing manner, preferably via

Thermal transfer printing. The information-carrying and adhesive-carrying section or region is the top side of the universal label (the side of the label facing away from the sterile packaging) and an uncovered underside of the label

Universal labels (the side of the label facing the sterile packaging), regardless of the number of layers / layers or the like. Under an exposed bottom is the bottom of the universal label to understand without a cover. Individually exposable means that the at least two

Adhesive surfaces / adhesive surfaces / pages with different adhesives can be selectively exposed by the cover sheet is selectively or partially removed and releases the selected adhesive surface. Thus, the at least two adhesive surfaces in any combination can also be exposed one after the other. This means that with a variety of adhesive surfaces, each adhesive surface can be individually selected and exposed, and separately from each other.

In other words, the essence of the invention consists in dividing the adhesive-carrying section or region / adhesive side of the label into the two or three-dimensional surfaces into the at least two adhesive surfaces and applying them with different adhesives. To coat adhesives which have different adhesive / adhesive properties. So is the one (first) glue / glue for gluing on one

Soft packaging formed and formed at least one further (second) adhesive / adhesive for sticking and residue-free release of the label on and from a hard packaging.

The adhesive surfaces can be arranged side by side on an adhesive-bearing area two-dimensionally. In addition, the covering film / protective film releasably covering the adhesive surfaces may have a perforation corresponding to the size of the adhesive surfaces, whereby it is possible to expose the individual regions separately and independently of one another. In a preferred embodiment, a label for identifying Sterilgutverpackungen therefore on his

Label underside at least two different adhesives, or adhesive surfaces / areas of two adhesives, with a protective / covering film on the

Label base can stick temporarily, so can be removed without adhesive residue.

In this case, a label can be understood to mean a sign / plate / front plate on or on a sterile product packaging / packaging / hard packaging / soft packaging. The bottom of the label, so the label base is the side on which the label has at least one (covered with foil) adhesive surface, ie the entire side / surface, which faces the Sterilgutverpackung or with the label attached to / on a Sterilgutverpackung / is glued. The underside / the adhesive-carrying region can be formed from a plurality of layers, one layer being adhesively bonded to another and the adhesive surface being partially covered, thus forming a three-dimensional structure. According to the invention, various adhesives are divided into permanent adhesives and soluble adhesives. A permanent adhesive is an adhesive with high bond strength. A releasable adhesive is an adhesive having a lower bond strength than the permanent adhesive. Sterile goods packaging is packaging for sterile goods, which are adapted and intended for use in an autoclave. Sterile goods packaging can be soft packaging and / or hard packaging. A cover / cover paper / carrier film is a film / layer thin plastic, which is applied to an adhesive surface and is easily solvable by this, and thus releases the adhesive surface.

The different adhesive surfaces or sides are successively exposable for their respective adhesive engagement. In other words, the

Adhesive surfaces of the universal label are exposed individually and remain covered, so that the universal label after separation from the sterile packaging and / or a part of the label still has a functioning adhesive surface with which the label, for example. can be stuck in a patient file.

In one embodiment, the label has an upper material (upper / outer layer), on the immediate underside of which a first adhesive is applied, and a first intermediate carrier (first intermediate layer), on the immediate underside of which a second adhesive is applied, the upper side of the intermediate carrier sticks to the first adhesive. In this case, the respective adhesives are preferably applied over the entire surface on both undersides. The first glue on the bottom of the

Upper material is particularly preferably a permanent adhesive. The second adhesive on the underside of the intermediate carrier is particularly preferably a releasable adhesive. In other words, the label has the upper, that is to say a first film / layer whose upper side is provided for labeling and is adapted to form the information-bearing area or section. On the immediate underside of the upper, a first adhesive is applied which forms a first adhesive surface, the first adhesive preferably being permanent. On the first adhesive surface adheres / sticks the first intermediate carrier, so a further film / layer / layer on its upper side. On the underside of the first intermediate carrier, the second adhesive is applied, which forms a second adhesive surface, wherein the second adhesive is preferably detachable. The permanent adhesive is an adhesive having a high adhesive effect, at least a higher adhesive effect than the second adhesive, which is preferably releasable. A releasable adhesive is an adhesive with lower bond strength than the permanent adhesive and can be removed from a surface without residue by manual force (peel). It is also possible to use a tuned, releasable adhesive as the first adhesive, that is, an adhesive that is residue-free by certain solvents or temperatures can be solved. On the adhesive surfaces on the undersides forming the adhesive-bearing portion or region as a whole, the cover film covering the adhesive surfaces preferably adheres / adheres flush. The above-mentioned layered structure may also be referred to as sandwich construction / sandwich construction and the label as a sandwich label.

The first intermediate carrier sticks / adheres in a preferred embodiment on the first adhesive of the upper material. Although the first adhesive is a permanent adhesive, the bond between the first subcarrier and the first adhesive surface that the first adhesive forms is formed so that the upper or permanent adhesive on the underside thereof can be easily peeled off the first subcarrier , preferably by manual force. In other words, the upper can be peeled / removed from the rest and thus the newly formed label e.g. used for documentation.

The cover sheet sticks / adheres to the second adhesive of the first one

Intermediate carrier and / or on the first adhesive of the upper. Again, the connection is similar to the connection between the first intermediate carrier and the upper or its first adhesive surface and can be easily solved or separated. Preferably, the first intermediate carrier has a smaller adhesive surface than the upper material. In other words, the smaller first

Subcarrier glued to the larger upper, so that the upper protrudes beyond the intermediate carrier edge. The single cover sheet is thus in contact with the adhesive surface of the first adhesive on the upper and the second adhesive surface of the second adhesive of the first intermediate carrier. The cover film can be easily removed from both, preferably by manual force, without damaging the adhesive surfaces. By peeling off the cover film, the first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface are exposed. By a correspondingly perforated cover it is also possible, the

Individually to reveal adhesive surfaces. Thus, the order of the layers from top to bottom in this embodiment is upper, first adhesive, first intermediate, second adhesive, cover sheet. The upper, the Intermediate carrier and / or the covering film are preferably made of a plastic which is suitable for thermal printing.

In other words, the sandwich label consists of two labels (also plastic films / plastic layers / plastic layers), which may differ in their size (alternatively only in their length). On each label is preferably on its underside another adhesive. The lowest label (the intermediate carrier) is the smaller, shorter label on which preferably the removable adhesive is applied. The top label (upper) protrudes

preferably left and right symmetrically beyond the edge of the lower label and more preferably has the permanent adhesive. The cover protects the adhesive backing of the entire label bottom, so the lowest

Label layer. The cover film is preferably further perforated, so that only parts of the adhesive surface can be exposed. Upon complete removal of the cover sheet, e.g. peeling off may result in an adhesive area that is partially

having different adhesives. For example, There may be a permanent adhesive surface / adhesive layer on the sides of the label on the left and right sides, and a removable adhesive area in the middle. In a further preferred embodiment, the label may have a second

Intermediate carrier between the upper and the first intermediate carrier, which adheres to the first adhesive of the upper and which has a third adhesive surface on which the first intermediate carrier sticks. In other words, between the upper material or its first adhesive surface, and the first intermediate carrier or its upper side, a second intermediate carrier is inserted. In this case, the second intermediate carrier is similar in construction to the first intermediate carrier. Alternatively, instead of a permanent adhesive, the second intermediate carrier may have a removable adhesive, so that the upper material can be released / removed even more easily from the first intermediate carrier. That means that

Upper adheres firmly to the second intermediate carrier, which is easier to release from the first intermediate carrier, since the adhesive for the connection between the second and first intermediate carrier is easier to solve than a permanent one

Glue is. Thus, the order of layers is from top to bottom Bottom in this embodiment: upper, first adhesive, second

Intermediate carrier, third adhesive, first intermediate carrier, second adhesive, cover foil.

The first intermediate carrier preferably has less surface or adhesive surface, as the upper material on which the intermediate carrier directly or indirectly sticks. By direct is to be understood that the first subcarrier directly contacted the adhesive surface of the upper and indirectly, that the first intermediate carrier at least one further intermediate carrier contacted, which is arranged between the first intermediate carrier and the upper material. Preferably, all

Subcarrier smaller, so have a smaller contact surface / adhesive surface than the upper, wherein the adhesive is applied to both the upper and on the intermediate carriers preferably over the entire surface, ie in each case on the entire bottom. In a further preferred embodiment, the label has an upper, the underside of which at least two different adhesives (on two

different areas of the one underside) covered by a cover film, wherein the at least two adhesives are preferably applied directly to the underside of the upper material. In other words, in this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the (first) is omitted.

Subcarrier. Due to the fact that at least two different adhesives are applied on the underside of the upper material on two spaced / separated areas of this one underside, it is possible to decide which of the two

should be applied. This is achieved by a perforated cover film.

In all embodiments, a perforated / stamped cover sheet may be used. A perforation is a perforation or material reduction at certain, desired points / lines which in the cover a

Predetermined breaking point is generated so that Abdeckfoliensegmente in all

Embodiments can be partially removed. By partially removing the cover sheet, either the first adhesive and / or the second adhesive may be exposed. In other words, the perforation is suitable and adapted to subdivide the cover into segments that are separated from the Bottom, so the preferably different, adhesive surfaces can be solved. It is irrelevant whether the adhesive surfaces are formed on a single surface (only on the upper) or on several (on the upper and the intermediate carrier), as long as the bottom of the label (label base), which forms the contact surface completely covered by the cover is. The label is provided with the cover during transport to protect against

to offer accidental sticking. For use, so attaching the label, the cover is removed.

In a preferred embodiment, the adhesives each form one

Adhesive surface meshing comb-like. In other words, an adhesive surface formed by the first adhesive combingly engages a second adhesive surface formed by the second adhesive. Both adhesives can be on one level, ie a layer, such as the underside of the upper. But it is also an embodiment conceivable in which the intermediate carrier forms a comb shape and adheres to the underside of the upper, whereby again an adhesive surface is formed on the entire bottom. Analogously, of course, the cover is formed, so divided into two segments.

Preferably, the covering film is grasped at the comb grip defined by the comb shape and detached in the direction of the teeth / prongs. In this case, the cover film separates through the perforation / stamping and the other segment remains on the underside of the label or can alternatively or additionally be removed. Alternatively, the adhesives may form an adhesive surface in which an adhesive is completely enclosed by the at least one further adhesive,

preferably completely. In other words, an adhesive such as an island is surrounded by the other adhesive.

Alternatively, the upper may have a smaller area or upper side than the intermediate carrier and both adhesives may be mounted on both sides of the intermediate carrier with the same structure. In other words, in an alternative embodiment, both adhesives are applied directly to the intermediate carrier. The present invention thus makes it possible to mark sterile containers and soft packs by directly sticking a label on. For direct labeling of sterile containers and soft packs, only one label material and thus only one printer (eg a thermal transfer printer, inkjet printer or laser printer) is required. The label has a secure hold on the hard packaging. The label can no longer fall out of the drawer during hard packaging during sterilization.

In Fig. 1, a first preferred embodiment in a lateral

Section view shown. One side of a facestock 1 forms a top / information-carrying area or portion 8 of a label which is to /

Printing is provided and adapted, preferably for printing with a Thermotransferd jerk. On the underside of the upper material 1, a first adhesive is applied, which forms a first adhesive surface 2, to which a first intermediate carrier 3 directly adheres / sticks and the first adhesive surface 2 partially (centrally) covered. The upper 1 has a rectangular area, the top / the

information-bearing area or section 8 diametrically opposite. The

Adhesive surface 2 is applied over the whole area on the upper side / the information-carrying area or section 8. Adhesive surface 2 consists of a first adhesive, a permanent adhesive suitable and adapted to adhere to a sterile sterile package. The first intermediate carrier 3 is smaller in its surface than the upper 1, so that the surface of the upper 1 or its adhesive surface 2 projects on at least two sides over the peripheral edge of the first intermediate carrier 3. The first

Subcarrier 3 is also rectangular, wherein the long sides of the first rectangular intermediate carrier 3 are flush with the long sides of the upper 1. Since the first intermediate carrier 3 is arranged centrally and has a smaller side length of the long sides, that is shorter, protrudes the upper 1 and its adhesive surface 2 on both (short) sides evenly over the intermediate carrier. On the intermediate carrier 3, in turn, a second adhesive is attached, which forms a second adhesive surface 4. The second adhesive is a releasable adhesive designed and adapted for adhering / sticking to a sterile hard pack.

On both exposed adhesive surfaces 2 and 4, which form the adhesive-carrying area or section 9, adheres directly a cover 5. The cover is perforated and divided into the cover film segments 5A and 5B, wherein the

Segment 5B is an internal segment and is lined on diametrically opposite sides of two further segments 5A. The cover film segments 5A in this embodiment adhere to the adhesive surface 2 of the upper 1 corresponding to the portion of the upper 1 projecting beyond the intermediate support 3, and the cover film segment 5B to the adhesive surface 4 of FIG

Intermediate carrier 3. The perforation of the cover 5 between the

Cover film segments 5A and 5B is formed as a line, preferably by pressing or punching.

The universal label is formed from its top / information-bearing portion or portion 8 toward its bottom / adhesive-carrying portion or portion 9 by the upper 1, the adhesive surface 2, the intermediate carrier 3 and the adhesive surface 3, and becomes at its lower side / adhesive-carrying portion or portion 9 covered by the cover 5. All elements mentioned in the above list are directly and immediately attached to the one mentioned above. In FIG. 1, the layer thicknesses are not drawn to scale; in reality, the underside / adhesive-carrying region or section 9 is substantially planar.

In Fig. 1 A, the bottom / the adhesive-carrying portion or portion 9 of the first embodiment of FIG. 1 is shown without cover. Thus, a rectangular adhesive surface consisting of the adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 is shown, which is adhered to a sterile package and consists of two different adhesives and thus of two different adhesive surfaces, the adhesive surface 4 and the adhesive surface 2. The adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 form analogous to their respective carrier substrates, so the upper 1 and the first intermediate carrier 3, together a rectangle. Since the first rectangular intermediate carrier 3 lies on the longer outer material 1 and both have the same width, a structure results in which the adhesive surface 4 is arranged in the middle and the adhesive surface 2 projects symmetrically beyond it to the right and left. Fig. 1B shows the underside 9 of the first embodiment of Fig. 1 with

Cover film 5. The structure or the arrangement is analogous to the distribution of

Adhesive surfaces 2 and 4. The cover sheet 5 is divided into the cover film segments 5A, which adhere to the corresponding two adhesive surfaces 2, and the

Cover film segment 5B adhering to the corresponding adhesive surface 4.

Fig. 2 shows a sectional view of the first embodiment, in which the

outer cover film segments 5A, which are diametrically opposed to the two

are formed opposite sides of the Abdeckfoliensegments 5B have been removed. In other words, the cover film segments 5A have been removed from the adhesive surfaces 2. Thus, the permanent adhesive surfaces 2 are exposed and the label is provided and adapted for adhering to a soft packaging for sterilization. Thus, the contact surface of the label with the sterile sterile package is formed from the two adhesive surfaces 2 and the cover film segment 5B.

Alternatively, in this use of the first embodiment, in addition, the cover film segment 5B additionally be removed, since the adhesive surface 4, which then forms the contact surface together with the adhesive surfaces 2, has a lower adhesive force.

Adhesive surfaces 2 with the permanent adhesive are intended for use on soft packaging. In this case, the cover film segment 5A or the entire cover film 5 is removed. The process of adhering the label to a soft package includes the steps of: peeling off the cover sheet segments 5A.

Sticking the label on the soft packaging (using the permanent

Adhesive surfaces 2). Steam sterilization of soft packaging. Removing the label from the soft packaging. Separation of the upper 1 of the first

Intermediate carrier 3. Sticking or arranging the thus formed label (upper material) in the patient file.

Fig. 2A shows the underside of Fig. 2, wherein it can be clearly seen that the adhesive surfaces 2, which are formed with permanent adhesive, the contact surface for soft packaging, in conjunction with the cover sheet segment 5B, which rests on the releasable adhesive.

Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of the first embodiment, in which the

inside cover 5B was removed. In other words, only that became

Cover film segment 5 B removed from the adhesive surface 4 and the film segments 5A remain on both sides of the two adhesive surfaces 2. Thus, the releasable adhesive surface 4 is exposed and the label is provided and adapted to

Stick on a hard packaging for sterilization. The cover film 5A remains on the sections / sections with the permanent adhesive. If one were to release these as well, so would later when removing the label (after sterilization and

Application of the packaging content) on the hard sterile goods packaging

Remaining adhesive residue. A positive effect on the remaining ones

Cover film segments 5A is that these can be used as a grip area to facilitate the detachment of the label from the hard packaging.

The process of adhering the label to a hard package comprises the steps of: detaching the cover sheet segment 5B at the center of the label (leaving the cover sheet segments 5B on the label). Sticking the label on the hard packaging (using the removable adhesive). Steam sterilization of

Hart packaging. Detaching the label from the hard packing (the with

Cover film segments 5B right and left allow easy gripping).

Separation of the upper 1 from the first intermediate carrier 2. Gluing or placing the new label (upper) in the patient file.

Fig. 3A shows the underside 9 of Fig. 3, clearly showing that the adhesive surface 4, which is formed with releasable adhesive, forms the contact surface for a hard package, together with the cover film segments 5A, which rest on the permanent adhesive.

Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment in a side sectional view. The difference to the first embodiment is that both adhesive surfaces 2 and 4, each with different adhesives directly / directly on the Upper 1 are applied. The upper 1 is thus formed / coated directly with two different adhesive surfaces 2 and 4. This means that two different adhesives are applied directly on the outer material 1 and form the respective adhesive surfaces 2 and 4. On the two adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 is again a perforated cover 5 with two Abdeckfoliensegmenten 5A and 5B, which correspond to the respective shapes of the respective adhesive surfaces 2 and 4. A label according to the second embodiment is formed from the upper side 8 to the lower side 9 by an upper 1 and a surface / layer formed from the two adhesive surfaces 2 and 4. The adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 forming a flat surface can optionally permanent or removable adhesive. Through this

Embodiment labels can be used as both on production labels

Soft packaging can be used as well as hard packaging. A

Documentation in the patient record may in this case be e.g. by gluing into a paper file with the previously unused adhesive surface done.

Fig. 4A shows the underside of the second embodiment of Fig. 4 without

Cover. The underside of the label with covering film of the second embodiment is analogous to the first embodiment, ie analogous to FIG. 1A, although in the first embodiment the adhesive is applied to two films, the underside with the adhesive surfaces looks analog.

FIG. 4B shows the underside of the first embodiment of FIG. 4

Covering foil, as can be seen analogously in FIG. 1B. Fig. 5 shows a third embodiment in a side sectional view. In this

Embodiment, the intermediate carrier 3 is directly / directly coated with two different adhesive surfaces 1 1 and 4. This means that directly on the first intermediate carrier 3, two different adhesives are applied and the respective adhesive surfaces 1 1 and 4 form. The third adhesive surface 1 1 is designed so that there is the same distribution of the respective adhesives on the contact surface as in Figure 1 A. Furthermore, the adhesive surface 1 1 preferably consists of the same adhesive as the adhesive surface 2, more preferably a permanent adhesive , On the two adhesive surfaces 1 1 and 4 is again a perforated Cover film 5 with two Abdeckfoliensegmenten 5A and 5B, which correspond to the respective shapes of the respective adhesive surfaces 1 1 and 4. A label according to the third embodiment is formed from the top 8 to the bottom 9 by a

Upper 1, a first adhesive surface 2, the intermediate carrier 3 and a

Surface / layer, which is formed from the two adhesive surfaces 1 1 and 4. The

Adhesive surface 2 in this embodiment may be a permanent as well as a releasable adhesive, since there is no direct contact with a sterile packaging. The adhesive surfaces 1 1 and 4, which form a flat surface, can optionally

permanent or removable adhesive. The area of the first intermediate carrier 3 in this embodiment corresponds to the surface of the upper 1 and adheres / sticks to the adhesive surface 2 of the upper 1. Through this embodiment, labels can be used as production labels on both soft packaging and on

Hard packs are used. Documentation in the patient record may in this case be e.g. by gluing in a paper file with the previously unused

Adhesive surface done. By this embodiment, it is possible only the

Remove upper material after sterilization. This has the advantage that the

Adhesive surfaces of this label layer are still completely unused. In addition, damage to the label during the detachment process is thereby avoided. These advantages apply to all labels that have at least two intermediate carriers.

Fig. 6 shows the underside of a fourth embodiment without cover film and Fig. 6A shows the underside of the fourth embodiment with cover film. In this embodiment, the adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 are formed like a comb. This means that the adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 each form a rectangular comb handle, protrude perpendicularly from the rectangular prongs. The two

comb-shaped adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 engage each other at their rectangular teeth. If the label to be glued on hard packs, so that is

Cover foil segment 5A subtract from left to right, whereby the adhesive surface 2 is released with the permanent adhesive surface. If you pull that

Adhesive segment 5B from right to left, the adhesive surface 4 is released with the releasable adhesive. It is also possible to exchange the adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 and their respective cover film segments 5A and 5B in their position. This embodiment of the adhesive surfaces is directly / directly on two-dimensional Surfaces applicable to an upper 1 or at least one further intermediate carrier. Furthermore, this embodiment is applicable to three-dimensional structures, as in structures whose structure is the first

Same embodiment and the adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 are formed on different layers. In addition to the third and fourth embodiments, other constellations are possible, such as a narrow strip of permanent adhesive on a short side of a rectangle and a large area of releasable adhesive.

Fig. 7 shows the underside of a fifth embodiment without cover film and Fig. 7A shows the underside of the fifth embodiment with cover film. In this embodiment, the adhesive surface 4 is a rectangle whose sides are all shorter than the sides of the rectangular adhesive surface 2 with the adhesive surface 4 centered horizontally and vertically. It is also possible to position the adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 and their respective cover film segments 5A and 5B

exchange. This embodiment of the adhesive surfaces is directly / directly applicable to two-dimensional surfaces on an upper 1 or at least one further intermediate carrier. Furthermore, this embodiment is applicable to three-dimensional structures, as in structures that are similar in structure to the first embodiment and the adhesive surfaces 2 and 4 on

be formed different layers.

Fig. 8 shows a sixth embodiment in a side sectional view. The layered structure is, like the embodiment in Fig. 5, except that the upper 1 and the first adhesive surface 2 are smaller, that is shorter than the first intermediate carrier 3 and the cover 5. In other words, the upper 1 is smaller in his Area as the first intermediate carrier 3, so that the surface of the intermediate carrier 3 projects on at least two sides over the peripheral edge of the upper 1. The first intermediate carrier 3 and the upper 1 are rectangular, with the long sides of the first intermediate carrier 3 being flush with the long sides of the upper 1. Since the upper material 1 is arranged centrally and has a smaller side length, that is to say is shorter, the first intermediate carrier 3 protrudes uniformly over the intermediate carrier at both (short) sides. To the Subcarrier 3, in turn, a second adhesive is attached, which forms a second adhesive surface 4. The second adhesive is a releasable adhesive designed and adapted for adhering / sticking to a sterile hard pack.

9 shows a seventh embodiment in a side sectional view, the structure of which is the same as that of the sixth embodiment except that in this embodiment, a second intermediate carrier 6 having a third adhesive surface 7 has been interposed between the first adhesive surface 2 and the first intermediate carrier 3. The additionally inserted intermediate carrier 6 should have the same permanent adhesive as the upper 1, so the adhesive surface 7 should be made of the same material as the adhesive surface 2. The geometric dimensions of the intermediate carrier 6 and the adhesive surface 7 correspond to those of the upper material. 1 Alternatively, the first and / or second intermediate carrier 3 and 6 or their adhesive surfaces 4 and 7 can be releasable adhesive surfaces.

Fig. 10 shows the top of an eighth embodiment and the upper 1 with a punch 10. To the upper 1 as easy as possible to separate / detach from at least one intermediate carrier, the punch 10 of the upper 1 is stamped to at least one intermediate carrier.
