(54) Labels


(57) A label has a tag portion and an integral neck portion of width less than that of the tag portion for attachment to an article. The label comprises an upper layer of a fibrillated polyprop material which is capable of receiving print on both of its sides laminated by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive to a lower layer of a thermal coated material which is also capable of receiving print on both of its sides. A coating of a release agent is applied to the underside of the upper layer of the tag portion of the label to enable it to be released one or more times from the adjoining lower layer of the label through the presence of a cut which extends across the full width of the exposed surface of the lower layer along one side of the coating of the release agent to enable the lower layer to be peeled away from the upper layer in the area in which the release agent is applied.
