Method and kit for labelling objects

A kit for labelling an object with a target label comprising:

• an instrument having at least one end for manipulating labels;
• at least one transfer label including a facestock having a first surface configured to be adhered to the end of the instrument, the facestock of the transfer label having transfer label adhesive on a second surface thereof,
• at least one target label adhered to a target label liner by a target label adhesive having an adhesion force E, the target label having a facestock adapted to have information inscribed/printed thereon,
• an adhesive having an adhesion force A between the first surface of the facestock of the transfer label and the instrument,
• wherein the adhesion force A is greater than an adhesion force B of the transfer label adhesive between the transfer label and the facestock of the target label,
• wherein the adhesion force B between the transfer label and the facestock of the target label is greater than the adhesion force E, and
• wherein the target label adhesive provides an adhesion force F between the target label and a target surface of an object, the adhesion force F adapted to be greater than said adhesion force B,
• whereby the instrument and transfer label are used to manually transfer the target label from a target label liner to the target surface of the object by releasable adherence of the target label to the transfer label adhesive on the second surface of the transfer label at the end of the instrument.
