Abstract: The invention relates to labels and in particular to a label which can be used for security applications, such as an authentication certificate, means of identification or the like, as proof of the authenticity or origin of an article to which it is adhered. The label (10) comprises a substrate, having first (12) and second opposing surfaces (13) and comprising first (15) and second sections (16), an adhesive applied to the second surface of the first section for adhering the label, in use, to an article. At least one security feature is incorporated in or on at least one of said first and second sections. The security feature is concealed when the second section is adhered in a non-viewing position, and is revealed when the second section is lifted into a viewing position.

Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in paper and in particular to paper for use in making labels or packaging, having a removable element. Paper having first and second opposing surfaces, and an elongate security element at least partially embedded in the paper such that when a tearing force is applied to the elongate element, a removable portion is separated from the rest of the paper.

Abstract: A die set assembly for crimp connecting an electrical lead to terminals or the like. The device includes apparatus for cooperatively feeding the length of electrical lead, a length of terminal, and a crimp connector strip, carrying series of crimp connectors. The device further includes apparatus for adjustably positioning a cutter relative to the die set assembly, whereby when the length of electrical lead and crimp connector strip have been positioned in the machine, and the terminal length determined, the machine will crimp a crimp connector, a lead and predetermined length of terminal and sever the crimp connector from the strip and cut a predetermined length of terminal.
