Abstract
A measuring tag for releasable securement to a garment belt to facilitate the cutting of the belt to a desired size. The belt has a buckle including a throat for releasably clamping a first end of the belt to it. The tag is an elongated planar member whose periphery includes a top edge, a bottom edge, and a pair of longitudinally extending side edge. The top edge has an ear folded back over itself to form a socket having a stop surface against which a first end portion of the belt abuts. The ear and the first end of the belt are releasably received in the throat of the buckle. The measuring tag also includes a surface, e.g., the rear, on which measuring indicia are provided. That indicia is a longitudinally extending size chart including a pair of side-by-side rulers showing belt sizes in inches and pant sizes in inches. The tag is formed of a material which is severable at various locations along the indicia to sever it and the portion of the belt at that location, whereupon the remaining length of the belt is of a desired size as indicated by the indicium at the location at which the tag is severed. The tag also includes second surface, e.g., the front, which includes product identification indicia, e.g., promotional text, graphics, etc.
