Abstract
Abstract Sheets of spun bonded polyolefin are stapled together to form a pad. Five tags are cut in each sheet and are dispensed by pulling them to tear a bridge of uncut material. The tags have a label portion and a relatively long and narrow tongue portion containing a slit. Tags are attached to clothing by passing the tongue portion through an opening in the garment and forming a loop by feeding the label portion through the slit in the tongue portion.
