Abstract
A label system is disclosed that is deformable and is useful for the decoration or marking of squeezable bottles or other flexible substrates. The label system is composed of a film of low or medium density polyethylene which is corona treated to accept print or decorative resin and certain curable pressure sensitive adhesives, and is affixed by the adhesive to bottles or other substrates in a manner that the label conforms to the shape of the surface of the bottle. The label deforms and recovers in essentially a permanent manner without wrinkling, cracking, tearing or being otherwise defaced due to separation or destructive fracturing of the label-substrate system.
