Abstract: Provided is a label assembly having a top film and base film with first edges and opposite second edges. Graphics may be placed on the top film. The base film may be adhered to the top film such that the top and base films include an offset portion and an opposite underhang portion. The offset portion and the underhang portion may engage to create an offset butt seam along the length of the films and form a generally tubular shaped label assembly configured to be slid or wrapped around a cylindrical shaped object. The offset butt seam may be contiguous about the perimeter of the label assembly. Alternatively, the base film with a first edge and an opposite second edge may be abutted against one another and held together with a seaming ribbon placed along an inner surface of the film adjacent to the first edge and second edge.
