Abstract
A single ply label for use as a battery label. The invention includes a polymeric film that has an ink layer or metallized outer surface that may include applied print graphics. A cured varnish is applied as the outermost layer adapted to form a continuous protective surface over the battery. The varnish on the label edges that shrink over the rims of the battery has a geometric pattern to accommodate the greater shrinkage of the film and still provide a substantially continuous surface of varnish protectant.
