Abstract
A versatile paperboard panel can be used to attach identifying (e.g. price) information to a wide variety of articles. A release coating is applied to a first face of the panel, and a label having an adhesive face is disposed over the panel with the adhesive in contact with the release coating.

The first portion contains the label, and the second portion includes an opening capable of receiving an attachment mechanism (such as a hook or string). A number of panels may be provided in a cut or continuous sheet that may be fed through a printer, the sheet having a first layer of paperboard which forms the panels, and a second layer of paper which forms the labels, with adhesive attached to the paper and a release coat to the panel. The labels are die cut from the second layer, and the panels are die cut from the first layer. Tractor holes may be provided along edges of the sheet to facilitate feeding through a printer, which prints the identifying indicia on the labels. The panels may be used by placing an attachment mechanism connected to the article into association with the panel second portion opening, or…
