A label hanger assembly has a label sheet with at least one hang strips cut therein, and in one embodiment, two hang tabs are employed. The hang strip or tabs are both integral with the label sheet and engageable with a hook of an intravenous (I.V.) stand. An adhesive coating is applied to one side of the label sheet in a pattern so that the hang strip or tabs do not have adhesive on any side thereof. The label sheet adheres to the periphery of an I.V. bottle near the bottom end thereof, and the engageable portion of the hang strip or tabs engages with the hook of the I.V. stand, thereby suspending the I.V. bottle upside-down from the stand. Break-away ties hold the hang strip or tabs in place within the label sheet prior to a user pulling the hang strip or tabs out of the label sheet. A backing sheet with a release coating is provided for either one label sheet or a plurality of label sheets to be releasably mounted thereon prior to being adhered to an I.V. bottle either manually by a user or mechanically in a high-production line basis.

Heat shrinkable labels formed of a polyolefin such as polypropylene have a permanent acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive on one surface thereof, and may be mounted on a release coated backing strip. A metallization layer and open style graphics may be applied to the labels, and the graphics may be protected by varnish or a second layer of heat shrinkable polyolefin material. The label has low shrink-back properties under high ambient temperature storage conditions, following application to a product, of less than three percent.
