Abstract: A sheet-like label having a pattern of tear lines which define a panel and an elongated strip which is contiguous with a first edge of the label. One end of the strip can be manually engaged and the strip can then be pulled away from the remainder of the label to free the first edge of the panel. The panel can then be manually engaged at its first edge and the panel can thus be readily separated from the remainder of the label. The remainder of the label completely surrounds the panel and the strip so that after removal of the panel and the strip the edges of the label will remain continuous. The labelled article includes a label mounted to the body of the article so that the label closely overlies a surface of the body.
