Abstract: A method for labeling items comprises: separating a label from a release liner by using peel plate, moving the surface of an item in a first direction, moving the label in a second direction, and bringing a leading edge of the label into contact with a surface of the item such that the angle between the first direction and the second direction is in the range of 10° to 30°, wherein the label comprises: a face layer, and an adhesive layer, wherein the face layer comprises semi-crystalline polymeric film, the adhesive layer consists of one or more adhesive sub-layers, a lowermost adhesive sub-layer of said adhesive sub-layers comprises transparent polymeric adhesive, the thickness of the face layer is in the range of 10 ?m to 50 ?m, the thickness of the adhesive layer is in the range of 8 ?m to 25 ?m, and the thickness of the adhesive layer is smaller than 95% of thickness of the face layer.

Abstract: A magnetic wall border system and a method of using the system is described. A magnetic wall border may be a removable portion, and may have a magnetic or magnet-attracting layer and a decorative layer.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant secure label, article and associated method. A label for overlying information comprises an adhesive layer for adhering the label to a substrate. The adhesive layer includes a structural adhesive that ensures that an initial removal precludes re-adhering using the adhesive layer. The label may further include an obscuring layer to selectively block visual access to the information and maintain the confidentiality of the information until the obscuring layer is removed.
