The inclusion is generally produced in sachet format, although it can be manufactured as a self-adhesive label. In either format it is unobtrusive and is placed in the retail pack at the time of packing.
The technology associated with this packaging inclusion is entirely innovative and is protected by a number of patents.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
