PERFORATED LABEL OVER A COMPRESSIBLE POUCH

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for displacing a liquid, gas or solid from a compressible pouch. The compressible pouch is housed in an external housing with holes over the compressible pouch and a label over the external housing/holes and compressible pouch. The label comprises perforations configured to allow a chad to separate but not detach from the label. When a compressive force is applied to the label, the chad separates (but does not detach) from the label allowing the compressive force to be applied to the compressible pouch below and force the fluid, gas or solid from the compressible pouch.
