One exemplary goal of the disclosed inventions is to reduce the amount of waste matter in a label to be attached to an adherend with part of the label protruding. A label is to be attached to an adherend with part of the label protruding and includes a label base section and an overcoat layer provided on the front surface of the label base section, and the back surface of the label base section is provided with a first adhesive section formed from a coating of a first paste (self-adhesive paste) which remains self-adhesive after coating, and a second adhesive section formed from a coating of a second paste (adhesive paste), which cures when a predetermined time duration elapses.

A labeling apparatus for an end of a rolled set of drawings or any similarly shaped elongated object. A potential embodiment of the apparatus comprises a flexible sheet which can be drawn over an end of the elongated object. The flexible sheet comprises a surface which is capable of being written on with pen, pencil, marker or any writing instrument known in the art. The writable surface can be integral to the flexible sheet or can be a separate writable surface which can be coupled with the flexible sheet. The flexible sheet comprises an elastic gripping feature for coupling the sheet over the end of the elongated object. The writable surface can comprise coloring, patterning or other visual cues known to those in the art to assist a user in identifying the label.

Flexible self-adhesive label with a covered adhesive region selectively peelable, the label comprising a flexible layer (10); a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (20) covering at least a first region (22) of a first side of the flexible layer (10); a liner (30) with a first liner region (32) adhered over the first region (22) and intended to be removed from the first region (22) leaving it exposed; wherein the adhesive layer (20) also covers a second region (23) of the first side of the flexible layer (10); and the liner (30) includes a base region (31), attached to the second region, the base region (31) and the first liner region (32) being connected through a first fold line (33) whose ends are approximately tangent to anti-tear configurations (36) of the liner (30), allowing to expose the first region (22) keeping the liner (30) attached to the second region (23).

A system, kit and method for customizing analog instrument gauges and the like for manufacturing systems or other processes. Preferred kits include several sheets of precut polymeric circles removably adhered to a substrate. Each kit would contain a plurality of different-colored and different-sized circles which can be cut into sections, peeled from the substrate and applied to a gauge display. The polymeric material, preferably vinyl, is transparent to allow reading of the covered gauge face (e.g., a numbered scale). The color-coded sections can be used to indicate, for example, good, fair, and bad operating parameters.

A tool identification chip for an unambiguous marking of tools and/or tool holders is proposed, with a plate-like base body which has an adhesive side and a lettering side situated opposite the adhesive side.

A label for matrix tube may have a facestock optionally 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, an end label portion and a neck portion between the end label portion and the end label portion, the neck portion being narrower than the end label portion and the end label portion. A method for applying a label onto a matrix tube may also be provided.

Decorative patches and methods of using decorative patches are described herein. Contemplated methods can provide non-pharmacological analgesia to a patient having a cast after a medical procedure. Contemplated decorative patches can comprise a first material layer and a second adhesive layer. In some aspects, the first material layer can comprise a napped fabric material. In some aspects, the second adhesive layer can comprise a zinc-oxide containing adhesive. In some aspects, the first material layer and the second adhesive layer can compose a moleskin adhesive such as those used for blisters.

A horticultural tag comprising: (a) a first outer layer made from a polymer; (b) a second outer layer made from a polymer; and (c) an intermediate layer made from a paperboard, wherein the paperboard is infused with wax prior to joining the first outer layer, the second outer layer, or both to the intermediate layer. The horticultural tag may be adapted for hanging or attachment to a plant. The horticultural tag may also be adapted for at least partial insertion in soil surrounding a potted or planted plant.
