Abstract
A labeling band adapted to be thermally fastened around one or more products includes a pair of strips joined together along marginal end portions thereof. One of the strips is made of printable, thermally non-shrinkable material while the other strip is made of thermally shrinkable material. When the band is subjected to heat with the products being encircled by the band, the other strip is thermally shrunk to thereby enable the band to firmly hold the products together. Characters printed on the thermally non-shrinkable strip are free from distortion and hence can clearly indicate product information of the products bound by the band.
