A strip baggage tag (1) is formed in endless or roll form for facilitating machine printing. It includes a tag part (6) which is to be fastened to a bag, and a control section (7). The control section (7) comprises a tear-off part (4') which can be detached from the tag part (6) along a transversely extending separation line (8). Both the tag part (6) and the tear-off part (4') have, on their back, an adhesive area (10) which is coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive and extends on both sides of the separation line (8). The adhesive area (10) is covered by a single-piece lower-web section (5) bearing a separation-active coating, for instance of silicone, the width of which section corresponds to that of the upper web (4). The lower-web section (5) has, in the region of the adhesive area associated with the tear-off part (4'), a separation-inactive partial region (11) which permits a firm bonding. This partial region (11), which may be made separation-inactive for instance by corona treatment, forms an attachment bridge to make a firm connection between the web section (5) and the tear-off part (4'), both of which together form the control section (7) which can be adhered to a plane ticket jointly, after exposure of a part of the adhesive area (10) for identifying an article of baggage.

Strip baggage tag in endless or roll form for machine printing

A strip baggage tag (1) includes a tag part (3) which can be written on and attached to an article of baggage, arid a control sect ion (4). The control section (4) includes a tear-off part (5) which can be detached from the tag part (3) along a transversely extending separation line (6). The tag part (3) and the tear-off part (5) have respective back adhesive areas (11',11') coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides of the separation line (6). The adhesive areas (11',11') are covered by a one-piece lower web section (14) which forms part of the control section (4) and is developed for carbonless copying on its top facing the tag part (3). The lower web section (14) is continuously separation-active (17) except for a partial region (18) below part of the adhesive area (11') on the tear-off part (5) of the control section (4). This partial region ( 18), which is made separation-inactive for instance by corona treatment, forms an attachment bridge so as to form a firm connection between the lower web section (14) and the tear-off part (5), so that they together form the control section (4) for being adhered to an airplane ticket for identification of an article of baggage, after subsequent exposure of part of the adhesive area (11').
