Abstract:

An erasable video cassette labeling kit is disclosed having an elongated paper board base member on which an elongated, transparent, plastic bubble is laminated, the bubble being located to one side of the base member and extending parallel to the major axis of the base member. A stack of individual, elongated, erasable video cassette labels are loosely housed in the bottom of the plastic bubble, adjacent to the base member, and a marking pen is loosely housed in the bubble, on top of the stack of labels. A hanging notch is formed in one end of the base member, in alignment with the center of gravity of the kit, so that the kit can be hung from the notch with the major axis of the base member extending vertically. The labels are formed of four layers comprising a top layer or film of clear polypropylene that is adapted for marking by use of the marking pen, a white, tear resistant, vinyl polymer layer or film, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer or film, and a split, peelable, paper support layer or liner. In use the kit is opened by separating the bubble from the base member, a label is then prepared by removing the paper liner therefrom, the label is then affixed to a video cassette, and the label's polypropylene layer is marked using the pen.
