Rotatable self-laminating markers

A marker for wrapping around an elongate object in which the marker is self-laminating with a tail end with a transparent area that is wrappable over a printable area on a head end to laminate the printable area, the marker comprising:

• a substrate including the head end with the printable area that is opaque and the tail end with the transparent area;
• an adhesive covering one side of the substrate;
• and
• at least one fold mark on the substrate indicative of a position at which the marker is to be folded upon itself to provide a pre-established length for an adhesive-free surface on the one side of the substrate having the adhesive;
• wherein the marker includes a plurality of fold marks at the head end indicative of a corresponding plurality of positions at which the marker is foldable upon itself at the head end to provide a corresponding one of a plurality of pre-established lengths for the adhesive-free surface at the head end and further wherein the plurality of fold marks are selected from the group consisting of visual indicia on the marker and perforations;
• wherein the marker is an elongated rectangle;
• wherein the at least one fold mark extends transversely across the elongated rectangle in a shorter dimension of the elongated rectangle;
• and
• wherein the tail end with the transparent area is longer along a longer dimension of the elongated rectangle than the head end with the printable area.
