Abstract: This invention relates to a marking strip for identifying airline luggage with a main part and a control section adjacent to it in the longitudinal direction, separated by a parting cut, whereby the control section and an adjacent area of the main part have an adhesive coating on the reverse side which is covered by a silicone-coated backing strip, which is firmly connected to the main part and is interrupted at some distance from the parting cut of the label strip at a parting line. The backing strip is thereby glued in one step directly during joining to the marking strip to a strongly adhesive area formed on the backing strip. There is no need for an additional coating to fasten the backing strip.
