- a backing layer (10, 200);
- and
- a transfer layer comprising an ink layer (20) of ink in a pattern and a heat activatable adhesive layer (40) overlying the ink layer (20), the transfer layer being separable from the backing layer after attachment of the adhesive to a container, the transfer layer being adapted to be attached to the container during use conditions, wherein the heat activatable adhesive layer (40) overlies substantially only said patterned layer (20).
