Abstract: The present invention relates to a layered container label that can be marked by the consumer without the aid of a writing device, as well as the method and manufacturing such label. The markable label is formed in layers with: an upper translucent film; a base layer having visually contrasting regions; and an intermediate deformable covering material such as wax laminated between the upper translucent film and the contrasting base layer. Upon application of pressure to the exposed surface of the upper layer, the intermediate deformable covering material is disrupted to visually expose the contrasting region of the base film layer at the point of applied pressure. This allows a user to mark the label without any writing implements.
