Plant tag

A plant tag for use on a plant comprising:

• a display portion having information displayed thereon;
• and
• a resilient portion secured to the display portion having a score line across its surface with first and second holes being formed on opposite sides of the score line, guide surfaces being formed at an exposed edge of the resilient portion on both sides of the score line when folded about the score line to align the first and second holes, cuts being made between the first hole and guide surface on one side of the score line and between the second hole and guide surface on the other side of the score line, the guide surfaces guiding the tag on the plant so that the separation of the edges of the cuts permits the plant to move through the cuts and into the first and second holes with the display portion in a position for facilitating observation of the information displayed thereon, the resilient portion resiliently unfolding after placement on the plant until the portion of the edge of each of said first and second holes adjacent the score line contacts one side of the plant and the portion of the edge of each of said first and second holes distal the score line contacts the opposite side of the plant to lock the tag on the plant and maintaining the tag fixed in the position on the plant for facilitating observation, the cuts being nonaligned to overlap sections of the resilient portion on either side of the scored lines to resist separation of the edges of the cuts.

A plant tag for use on a plant comprising:

• a display portion having information displayed thereon;
• and
• a resilient portion secured to the display portion having first and second circular holes formed therethrough for receiving a portion of the plant, a score line being formed in the surface of the resilient portion between the first and second holes to permit folding of the resilient portion about the score line to align the first and second holes, a semicircular guide notch being formed on an exposed edge of the resilient portion on each side of the scored line with a cut interconnecting each of the guide notches with the holes positioned on the same side of the score line, the guide notches guiding the tag onto the plant, the tag permitting separation of the cuts between the guide notches and first and second holes to pass a portion of the plant through the cuts and into the holes with the display portion in a position for facilitating observation of the information displayed thereon, the resilient portion resiliently unfolding after placement on the plant until the portion of the edge of each of said first and second holes adjacent the score line contacts one side of the plant and the portion of the edge of each of said first and second holes distal the score line contacts the opposite side of the plant to lock the tag on the plant and maintaining the tag fixed in the position on the plant for facilitating observation, the cuts being nonaligned to form tabs to resist simultaneous separation of the edges of the cuts.

A plant tag for use on a plant comprising:

• a display portion having information displayed thereon;
• and
• a resilient portion secured to the display portion having a score line across its surface for permitting a fold along the score line, first and second circular holes being formed through the resilient portion on either side of the score line, a third circular hole being formed through the resilient portion between the first and second holes and centered on the score line, cuts being made between the edges of the first hole and third hole and between the edges of the second hole and third hole, the semicircular portions of the third hole on opposite sides of the score line forming guide surfaces when the resilient portion is folded along the score line to guide the tag onto a plant, the edges of the cuts being separable to permit passage of a portion of the plant therebetween into the first and second holes with the display portion in a position for facilitating observation of the information displayed thereon, the resilient portion resiliently unfolding after placement on the plant until the portion of the edge of each of said first and second holes adjacent the score line contacts one side of the plant and the portion of the edge of each of said first and second folds distal the score line contacts the opposite side of the plant to lock the tag onto the plant with the tag maintained fixed in the position for ready observation, the cuts being nonaligned after folding to define tabs on the resilient portion on either side of the score line to resist simultaneous separation of the edges of the cuts to resist removal of the tag.

A method of manufacturing plant tags from a sheet of a resilient material for placement on a plant comprising the steps of:

• forming first and second nonoverlapping holes through each of the plant tags;
• scoring a line between the first and second holes on each of the tags for folding the tags about the score line to align the first and second holes and forming a guide surface at an exposed edge of the tag on each side of the score line when the tag is folded;
• forming cuts extending from the guide surface to the hole on the same side of the score line;
• and
• cutting the plant tags from the sheet, the guide surfaces on each tag for guiding the tag onto the plant and the edges of the cuts being separable to permit a portion of the plant to move into the first and second holes with the tag resiliently unfolding until the portion of the edge of each of said first and second holes adjacent the score line contacts one side of the plant and the portion of the edge of each of said first and second holes distal from the score line contacts the opposite side of the plant to lock the tag onto the plant with the tag in a fixed position for ready observation, the cuts in each plant tag being nonaligned to define tabs to resist simultaneous separation of the edges of each of the cuts on the plant tag.
