Abstract
The present invention relates to a labeling system on a packaging container designed to transport an object, which may contain a liquid. The packaging container has at least one sealing multi-layer comprising a first water soluble film, an absorbent/adsorbent material, and at least one water soluble layer, the outer layer of the packaging container. The inner layer of the packaging container is the water-soluble film that forms a boundary between a cavity that hold the object and the packaging container. When a liquid leaks from the object while in the packaging container, the liquid passes through the water-soluble film. When the liquid contacts the absorbent/adsorbent material, the absorbent/adsorbent material absorbs or adsorbs, and immobilizes the liquid material. This immobilization prevents the liquid from escaping from the packaging container. The present invention also includes a tamper-evident, water insoluble sleeve on at least a portion of the outer layer which is bondable to the outer layer and receives a first label.
