Abstract
The new stretchable marking article permits simultaneous banding and tagging of merchandise and has an elastomeric band for banding about merchandise and a tag comprised of an information portion for displaying printed matter and an attachment portion for bonding to the information portion after encircling a section of the elastomeric band to form a channel for stretching movement of the band. The tag is formed of plastic sheet material and the channel for stretching movement of the band has a length less than the width of the information portion. A composite article of manufacture comprises a plurality of the stretchable marking articles on a carrier, with all information portions of the stretchable marking article in an alignment for easy hand removal of discrete marking articles from the alignment.
