Seal

English to French Marketing Food & Drink
C'est une promotion d'une grande marque : BUY 3 CANS & GET YOUR FAN CAN

Buy three Pring** cans and collect the three seals. All Pring** Seals will be considered valid. Then go to Pring**.com and register yourself in the initiative page.

C'est sur les boites d'une célèbre marque de chips, je pense que c'est la petite pellicule avant le couvercle en plastique. Mais je ne trouve pas le bon terme.

Merci de votre aide !

Bonne journée !

vignette

Le mot vignette correspond bien à l'idée de quelque chose qui se colle ou se décolle. C'est un mot couramment utilisé dans des promotions publicitaire de ce type. Par exemple : http://www.notrejob.com/mcdo-actu-monopoly-2011-mcdo
(alors que opercule traduit entre autre l'idée d'ouvrir, ce qui n'a pas l'air d'être le cas ici)
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : Not applicable here; have you not seen a packet of Pring**? They are sealed (for freshness and security) using exactly that, an 'opercule' — there is no element of 'vignette' about it, and it is bonded on in such a way that it cannot be stuck back again.

Actually no I haven't. I admit I have no idea what exactly the product is. Thanks for the explanation.
