Abstract
A labelling tie () includes a tie portion (), a wire assembly (), and a bib portion () connected to the tie portion. The tie portion () has a first arm (-R), a mid-segment, and a second arm (-L). Spaced apart perforations () intersect each of the first and second arms. The wire assembly () has a retention wire () that spans across the first arm, the mid-segment, and the second arm. A sheet of labelling ties () includes separably connected labelling ties. A method attaches a labelling tie to an item or a group of items. The method includes wrapping the first arm (-R) and second arm (-L) around at least one object ('), allowing the first and second arms to meet at a location with a portion of the first arm and a portion of the second arm extending past the location, and twisting the first and second arm portions together, thereby securing the tie portion around the object(s).
