  • Patent number: 5967560
    Abstract: A label made of a rectangular layer comprises, as an integral part thereof, a suspension strap which is defined by a die cut line extending along most of the periphery of the layer between two roots at which the suspension strap remains joined to the remaining central portion of the label. The roots have a mutual distance of half a perimeter of the bottle to be labeled and the total length of the label is preferably approximately equal to the perimeter of the bottle. Preferably, one of the two roots is located near the leading edge of the label when this is applied to the bottle by an automatic dispenser. The label provides a large surface for printed information which is not interrupted by the suspension strap. Also a booklet may be attached to the label.
