Label having folding feature

A label for attaching over an edge of a stock member to insure reliably folding along a fold-line over said edge the label comprising:

• a substantially planar foldable first layer having a first surface adapted to being printed on and a second surface on the back side of said first surface;
• and
• a pair of second layers of predetermined widths, each including a material which is permanently attached to the second surface of the first layer, the second surface having an adhesive on an outer surface of the label material, the second layer pairs being spaced apart to define a narrow gap therebetween, said gap defining a fold-line section in the first layer which bridges said gap, said gap being narrower than either of said second layer pairs to define a predictable fold line, said first and second layers being non-transparent and each limiting the light transmission therethrough, the gap comprising a section spanned by only one of said layers, so that the gap is visually discernable because the gap is necessarily more translucent than adjacent portions.

A label foldable along a fold-line comprising:

• a substantially planar first layer of predetermined light transmissibility;
• and
• a second layer of a second predetermined light transmissibility attached to the first layer and having at least two sections at least partially separated by a gap, the gap being visually discernible through the first layer as a result of differential transmissibilities of the different portions of the label, wherein the label fold line can be reliably discerned at said gap as a consequence of lesser light transmissibility on either side of the gap such that the at least two sections are mountable on different surfaces of the stock member when the label is applied over an edge of the stock member and wherein the second layer comprises a visually greater light transmissibility material than the first layer.

A label comprising:

• a first non transparent layer of predefined light transmissibility, having a top surface adapted to being printed on and a bottom surface;
• and
• a second non transparent layer of a second predefined light transmissibility attached to the bottom surface of the first layer, the second layer comprising two or more sections, wherein between each of the two or more sections is a gap, each gap defining a visually discernible fold-line section in the first layer as a result of the differential light transmissibility at said gap, the second layer comprising a darker material than the first layer, wherein each gap is discernible through the first layer and indicates the fold-line section of the first layer, the first layer folds along the fold-line section when a folding force is applied to the label.
