Abstract
We have disclosed a method of applying a plastic label to a container wherein a label is severed from the strip of polymer label material. A hot melt adhesive is applied to an area along the leading edge of the label and a solvent of the polymer is applied to an area along the trailing edge of said material to form a tacky solution. The label is then applied to a container so that when heat shrunk, the tacky solution solidifies and the hot melt adhesive crystalizes to release its grip on the container.
