Abstract
A label for a container may include a planar body comprising a first edge and a second edge, the first and second edges disposed at opposite sides of the body from each other; a cut-out portion of the planar body disposed between the first and second edges; and first and second tear lines extending from the cutout portion to respective first and second termination locations at or proximate to the first and second edges, respectively. The first and second tear lines may diverge at an angle away from each other in a direction from the cut-out portion to the respective first and second termination locations.
Claims18
A label for a container, the label comprising:
- a planar body comprising a first edge and a second edge edges, and first and second opposite ends extending between the first and second edges, wherein the first and second edges are disposed at opposite sides of the body from each other and extending extend parallel to each other, wherein a region where the first and second opposite ends overlap comprises an adhesive to secure the label to the container, and wherein the first and second opposite ends are configured to overlap each other in a position of the label secured to the container:
- a cut-out portion of the planar body disposed between the first and second edges;
- a first tear line extending from the cutout portion to a first termination location at or proximate to the first edge;
- and
- a second tear line extending from the cutout portion to a second termination location at or proximate to the second edge;
- wherein the first and second tear lines diverge at an angle away from each other in a direction from the cut-out portion to the respective first and second termination locations.
