Abstract
Abstract Multilayer adhesive label which is shrinkable on a circumferential surface of a body, particularly of a dry-cell battery, including a carrier layer for an outwardly visible imprint which is covered with a transparent protective layer, whose outermost layer is formed by means of an at least axially stretched, transparent laminated foil of shrinkable plastics material. The carrier layer may have at least one cut in the vicinity of its edge extending along the generating line of the circumferential surface of the body.
