Abstract
A tag having a reinforcible opening is disclosed. The tag includes first and second major surfaces. It further includes an adhesive layer affixed to one of the major surfaces and substantially covered by a removable liner material. The tag has two openings arranged such that when the liner material is removed and the tag is folded along a fold line the adhesive bonds the tag into a folded position wherein the openings are aligned to form a single continuous opening through the tag.
