Abstract

A label for labelling containers, preferably small cylindrical medical containers. The label includes a base part having a first adhesive layer on its bottom side, and an overlapping part which at least partially covers the base part when the label is wound around the container. There are removable tags provided in the base part and in the overlapping part of the container. In this way optimum use of the jacket surface of a labeled container can be achieved.

Claims

1. A label for labeling a container comprising:

a base part with a bottom side and a top side, said bottom side having a first adhesive layer provided thereon;

an overlapping part which adjoins said base part and at least partially covers said base part when said label is placed on the container;

at least one removable tag formed at said base part,

an attachment means for detachably attaching said at least one removable tag;

at least one further removable tag formed in said overlapping part and being separated from said overlapping part by at least one of die cut lines, continuous scored lines, and perforated lines,

a further attachment means for detachably attaching said at least one further removable tag;

said further attachment means comprising an adhesive-repelling layer which is attached to said bottom side of said overlapping part and adjoins said at least one further removable tag.

2. The label of claim 1, further comprising a fastening means for detachably fastening said overlapping part.

3. The label of claim 2, wherein said adhesive-repelling layer is positioned on a material portion.

4. The label of claim 3, wherein said material portion is dimensioned to overlap said at least one further removable tag on at least two sides and said adhesive-repelling layer has a surface area substantially corresponding to a surface are of said at least one further removable tag.

5. The label of claim 1, wherein said at least one further removable tag is imprinted on its top side

6. The label of claim 3, wherein said material portion is imprinted with the same information as said at least one further removable tag.

7. The label of claim 3, wherein said material portion includes an adhesive layer which is covered by an adhesive deadener.

8. The label of claim 7, wherein said adhesive deadener comprises a varnish printed on said adhesive layer.

9. The label of claim 1, wherein said base part includes a widened area proximate to said at least one removable tag.

10. The label of claim 1, wherein said base part has a length which substantially corresponds to a periphery of the container to be labeled.

11. The label of claim 1, wherein said first adhesive layer extends into said overlapping part.

12. The label of claim 1, wherein said fastening means comprises a fastening adhesive layer provided on an edge area of said overlapping part away from said base part.

13. The label of claim 12, wherein said fastening adhesive layer includes a recess for forming a nonadhesive corner piece.

14. The label of claim 1, wherein said fastening means for detachably fastening said overlapping part comprises an adhesive-repelling top smooth layer which is located on a top side of said label.

15. The label of claim 1, wherein said overlapping part has a length which substantially corresponds to a periphery of the container to be labeled.

16. The label of claim 1, further comprising at least one information sheet positioned on a bottom side of said overlapping part.

18. The label of claim 17, further comprising a fastening means for detachably fastening said overlapping part.

19. The label of claim 18, wherein said at least one further removable tag is positioned on a center portion of said overlapping part.

20. The label of claim 17, wherein said at least one further removable tag is imprinted.

21. The label of claim 20, wherein said top side of said overlapping part is imprinted with the same information as printed on said at least one further removable tag.

22. The label of claim 17, wherein said at least one further removable tag has a nonadhesive edge piece.

23. The label of claim 17, wherein said base part includes a widened area proximate to said at least one removable tag.

24. The label of claim 17, wherein said base part has a length which substantially corresponds to a periphery of the container to be labeled.

25. The label of claim 17, wherein a center area of said bottom side of said overlapping part is free of active adhesive.

26. The label of claim 17, wherein said fastening means comprises a fastening adhesive layer provided on an edge area of said overlapping part away from said base part.

27. The label of claim 26, wherein said fastening adhesive layer includes a recess for forming a nonadhesive corner piece.

28. The label of claim 18, wherein said fastening means for detachably fastening said overlapping part comprises an adhesive-repelling top smooth layer which is located on a top side of said label.

29. The label of claim 17, wherein said overlapping part has a length which substantially corresponds to a periphery of the container to be labeled.

30. The label of claim 17, further comprising at least one information sheet positioned on a bottom side of said overlapping part.

17. A label for labeling a container comprising:

a base part with a bottom side and a top side, said bottom side having a first adhesive layer provided thereon;

an overlapping part which adjoins said base part and at least partially covers said base part when said label is placed on the container;

at least one removable tag formed at said base part,

an attachment means or detachably attaching said at least one removable tag;

at least one further removable tag on a top side of said overlapping part including a tag adhesive layer;

said label further comprising an adhesive-repelling top smooth layer positioned on said top side of said overlapping part,

said at least one further removable tag being removably adhered to said adhesive repelling smooth layer.
