  • Patent number: 5250337
    Abstract: A multi-layered label for adhesively affixing to containers, such as bottles, cans, canisters, allows, at least with respect to its top sheet and intermediate sheet, a more convenient reading of the information printed thereupon if a base section (1) having an intermediate section (3) which can be turned out to the right and can be detached along a fold (4) is provided, this intermediate section (3) being covered by a top section (5) overlapping it on the right, this top section (5) being glued to the base section (1) in the left-hand edge region (6), and the top section (5) having to the left a tear-open perforation (10) and to the right a tear-off perforation (13), so that this top section (5) also can be obtained as a separate sheet.

  • Patent number: 5207458
    Abstract: In the case of a multi-layered label for adhesively affixing to containers, reading information on the top sheet (4) and on intermediate sheets (3) can be facilitated by not only the top sheet (4) having a tear-open perforation (7) at its adhesively bonded right-hand edge region (5), but also top sheet (4) and intermediate sheet (3) having in the left-hand adhesively bonded edge region (8) tear-off perforations (13; 14) by which the sheets (3; 4) can be detached.
