Abstract: A flexible labeling system applied to spines of various bound documents such as books without imprinted or embossed titles on their back bindings, wire coil bound documents, plastic comb bound documents, photo albums, compact disc jewel boxes, record album jackets which are too thin to readily hold identification labels, and brochures of various kinds that have no identification means that can be seen when they are standing side-by-side on shelves. The flexible labeling system permits users to easily and conveniently provide labeling for these types of documents. The flexible labeling system is comprised of a flexible plastic member incorporating two living hinges created by a pair of parallel V-shaped grooves, either continuous or segmented, or perforations which are either die-cut or stamped into the flexible plastic member. Also incorporated are two opposing adhesive strips secured to the flexible plastic member, each adhesive strip being provided with a peel-off protective strip.

The flexible labeling system permits users to easily and conveniently provide labeling for these types of documents. The flexible labeling system is comprised of a flexible plastic member incorporating two living hinges, adhesive strips attached thereto, and a centrally located stiffener to which standard adhesive labels may be applied. Alternatively, there is provided a flexible labeling system for use with plastic comb bound documents made of a one-piece plastic member which hookingly engages the plastic comb binding.
