Abstract: A two-panel tamper-indicating tag is disclosed suitable for use on irregular shaped objects, such as rings, etc. The tag does not leave adhesive residue on the object because the two panels are adhesively secured together and attached to the object by means of a loop, one end of which is attached to each panel. Attempts to fradulently remove and reuse the applied tag are defeated by the use of an adhesive on the panels which can not be reused [a stick only once type adhesive]. In another embodiment of the tag, the adhesive used on the panels is of the type which changes color as it is stretched. This color change will be visible when the two panels are adhered together again, indicating that the tag has been removed and reattached.

Abstract: A tag has first, second and third planar segments, each segment having opposite, front and back planar surfaces bounded by at least one edge extending between the planar surfaces. Two, flexible, segment connectors respectively connect portions of the edges of the first and second and second and third segments in a manner such that at least the front surfaces of the segments are in a common plane when the segment connectors are not flexed. The front surfaces of the segments can be printed, therefore, in a one-sided printing operation. When the segment connectors are flexed by folding, the front surfaces of the first and second segments are juxtaposed and one of the surfaces of the third segment is juxtaposed with the back surface of one of the first and second segments. This covers the printing on the front surfaces of the first and second segments, until the segment connector therebetween is unfolded to expose it.
