(57) A tagging material comprises a substrate in the form of a film 101 of monoaxially oriented polypropylene coated on one surface with a layer 102 of polysiloxane release agent and on the other surface with a primer layer 103 of cross-linked natural crepe rubber. The primer layer 103 is coated with a layer 104 of pressure sensitive adhesive composition, comprising a mixture of natural crepe rubber and tackifying resin. A centrally located amorphous wire 105 is adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive composition and is covered with a layer 106 of polyethylene leaving a free adhesive surface at either side which is sufficient to enable the tagging material to be self-wound by a reel (with adjacent convolutions adhered together by the adhesive) and to enable tags formed from the tagging material to be adhered to the article to be tagged.
