Abstract A label comprises a paper band comprising a plurality of panels 14, 10, 18, 20 and 22 connected end to end along respective fold lines 12, 16, 19, 21, extending widthwise of the band. The panel 14, at one end of the band, is connected via fold line 12 with one end of panel 10, which is coated on one face with adhesive, or has stuck to one face thereof an adhesive strip. The remainder of the strip, connected with the other end of panel 10, and comprising panels 18, 20 and 22, is folded in zig-zag fashion about lines 19 and 21 and is folded onto panel 10 to overlie the non-adhesive face thereof. The panel 14 is, in turn folded about line 12 to overlie the panels 18 to 22 and is stuck to panel 18 via a detachable and re-sealable adhesive strip 23. The label provides a convenient means of providing on a container, such as a bottle, instructions or the like relating to the contents of the bottle, which can readily be applied automatically.
