Abstract
A method of packaging physical objects in a container, and a container assembly so formed, advantageously utilize a container-sealer in the general form of a double faced label. The container sealer includes a flexible strip of material comprising a substrate having first and second faces, a permanent pressure sensitive adhesive with removal release liner on the first face, and a repositional adhesive on the second face. One or more physical objects are placed in the container through an openable/closeable portion of the container, at a first location the repositional adhesive of the container-sealer is placed into contact with a surface of the container and with a packing order indicating the desired contents of the container, and at a second location the container-sealer is removed from contact with the container and the packing order and the desired contents of the container are compared with the actual contents. Then the release liner is removed from the permanent adhesive and the permanent adhesive is brought into contact with the container over the openable/closeable portion to hold it closed, while the repositional adhesive faces away from the container. An invoice/receipt relating to the desired physical objects in the container is then brought into contact with the repositional adhesive. The container is typically a bag or a carton, and the container-sealer typically has a length of about 4-6 inches and a width of about 1.5-3 inches, is dispensed from a roll, and may have a perforation line which overlays the closure of the container to facilitate opening.
