Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Neal Anderson - Edina MN, US

Assignee:

Target Brands, Inc. - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

B42D 15/00

US Classification:

283 81, 283 98, 283 99, 283100, 283101, 283103, 283105, 283107

Abstract:

A label is provided having three parts separated by separation lines. Two of the three parts have pull tabs to allow them to be easily removed. The third part is a narrow strip between the separation lines that does not have a pull tab. When the label parts that have pull tabs are lifted off a product, the label separates at the separation lines, leaving the third narrow strip on the product. This narrow strip is then removed with a scraping action that tends to destroy the narrow strip. This makes it difficult to reconstruct the label after it has been removed from a product. In other embodiments, the label has two parts made of material that stretches when the parts are removed from a product. The stretching distorts a barcode graphic printed on the label making the barcode unreadable.
