Wire rope tube tags are described that include chemically etched wire rope information on an outer surface of the tube tag. A flat sheet of metal may be etched to include wire rope-related information on a surface of the flat sheet of metal that may then be folded into a desired shape, such as a cubic tube, spherical tube, triangular tube, etc., to create a wire rope tube tag with the wire rope information on the outer surface of the tag. Several methods for attaching the folded tube tag are provided, including one or more holes located through the body of the tube tag through which a wire thread or zip tie may pass and one or more tabs extending from the tube tag that may be bent toward or angled toward the wire rope sling to pinch the wire rope and hold the tag in place.

The flag label for attachment around an elongated object has a pair of faces oppositely facing from one another surrounded by a peripheral edge, One of the pair of faces is bifurcated into uneven portions at a line. Those uneven portions include an adhesive-bearing portion having adhesive received thereon and further include a non-adhesive bearing portion not having adhesive thereon. The non-adhesive bearing portion may be larger in surface area than the adhesive bearing portion such that, when folded onto one another, there is little to no possibility that adhesive remains exposed about the periphery of joining due to imperfect alignment of the edges of the two contacting portions.

Provided is an at-home, do-it-yourself (DIY) printable label sheet comprising removable labels with a printable area and attachment portion on the same side of the individual labels. The attachment portion includes an adhesive for attachment of the label to the backside of an item, such as a badge, and a film that protects the adhesive prior to use. The film allows for an adhesive to be positioned on the front side of a printed label while preventing any potential damage to the printer due to exposed adhesive. The individual labels may also include a perforated tab. The label sheet may be inserted into a printer with a particular image printed thereon. The printed individual labels may be removed from the label sheet by using the perforated tab. The back of the individual label is free of adhesive. The perforated tab may be removed from the individual label along the perforation and the film may be removed from the adhesive on the individual label to apply the label to an item.

A label sticker includes a release layer strip, an attachment layer strip and a label layer strip. The attachment layer strip is made of an artificial dressing material and its lower surface is coated with or adhered to a first glue layer. The lower surface of the attachment layer strip is attached to the upper surface of the release layer strip through the first glue layer. The label layer strip is made of a waterproof material and its lower surface is coated with or adhered to a second glue layer. The lower surface of the label layer strip is attached to the upper surface of the attachment layer strip through the second glue layer. The label sticker, to be adhered to the human skin to serve identification purposes, can be manufactured by mass production but is unlikely to be wetted and smeared.

A label for matrix tube may have a facestock configured to have data on a first surface thereof. An adhesive layer may be on a second surface of the facestock. The facestock may define an end label portion, a main label portion and a neck portion between the end label portion and the main label portion, the neck portion being narrower than the end label portion and the main label portion. A method for applying a label onto a matrix tube may also be provided.

Personal protective equipment includes an information display area, wherein the information display area comprises an information carrier for displaying information of a first application and a second application of the personal protective equipment, wherein the information display area in a first of at least two states exclusively displays information relating to the first application and in a second state exclusively displays information relating to the second application, and wherein the display of the information display area is switchable back and forth between the at least two states a plurality of times. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for changing a state of an information display area of a personal protective equipment.

A medium includes a base layer and a separation layer. First to fifth regions are defined in the medium along a first direction in this order. Portions of the base layer which are in contact with the separation layer are stickable in at least a part of the first region and the fifth region and are not stickable in the second region and the fourth region. A length, in a second direction, of a second-side end portion of the fifth region in the first direction is less than a length, in the second direction, of a first-side end portion of the third region in the first direction. A length, in the second direction, of a first-side end portion of the fifth region in the first direction is less than the length, in the second direction, of the second-side end portion of the fifth region in the first direction.

A sheet includes a first surface, a second surface, an adhesive portion, a fold-back portion, and a first area. The first surface extends in a first direction. The second surface is opposite to the first surface, and allows light to pass therethrough from the first surface to the second surface. the adhesive portion is a portion of the first surface to which an adhesive is applied, and is disposed at a first end portion of the sheet in the first direction. The fold-back portion is disposed on the first end portion. The first area is disposed on the adhesive portion between a first edge of the first end portion and the fold-back portion.

An apparatus and a corresponding method that includes providing a color-code device having a first pre-cut piece of tape having an adhesive surface covered by a release liner. wherein the first pre-cut piece of tape has a starting end and a finish end, and wherein the finish end has a diagonal edge at an acute angle to a lengthwise edge of the piece of tape; removing a first piece, of the release liner; and beginning with the start end, wrapping the first piece of tape around a communications cable while removing a remaining piece of the release liner. In some embodiments, the device is supplied on a roll, or Z-folded flat pack, or as one of a plurality of individually supplied tape pieces each on release-paper substrate of like devices, each precut to a length and finishing-edge angle to prevent water buildup on a cable wrapped with the device.
