1. A display article having a first article end and a second article end, comprising:

a main portion having first and second spaced tabs disposed between the first article end and the second article end; and

a flag portion adjacent the main portion wherein the flag portion includes a weakened portion disposed between the first and second spaced tabs;

wherein the main portion and the first and second tabs are coplanar and are adapted to be maintained in contact with a support apparatus; and

wherein the flag portion is adapted to be deflected about the weakened portion to a display position transverse to the main portion and wherein the flag portion is adapted to be maintained at the display position by interference between the flag portion and upper and lower lips of the support apparatus.

2. The display article of claim 1 , wherein the main portion includes a first face and a second face and the first face is adapted to receive printing and the second face includes an adhesive.

3. The display article of claim 2 , wherein the second face is covered by a releasable layer.

4. The display article of claim 3 , wherein the releasable layer includes die cuts proximal the first and second article ends.

5. The display article of claim 1 , in combination with the first support apparatus comprising a label holder that maintains the main portion in a curved shape.

6. The display article of claim 1 , wherein the weakened portion comprises a die cut.

7. The display article of claim 6 , wherein the flag portion includes a first face that has first indicia printed thereon and a second face opposite the first face that has second indicia printed thereon.

8. The display article of claim 7 , wherein the first indicia and the second indicia are identical.

9. The display article of claim 7 , wherein the first indicia and the second indicia are different.

10. The display article of claim 7 , wherein the second face comprises a releasable layer and the weakened portion comprises a die cut in the releasable layer.

11. The display article of claim 1 , wherein the flag portion has a height less than a distance between the upper and lower lips.

12. The display article of claim 1 , wherein the first and second tabs include first and second tab edges, respectively, substantially coincident with a top edge and a bottom edge, respectively, of the flag portion.

13. The display article of claim 12 , wherein the first and second tabs include third and fourth tab edges, respectively, and first and second tab ends, respectively.

14. The display article of claim 13 , wherein the third and fourth tab edges are of substantially the same length.

15. The display article of claim 14 , wherein the first and second tabs have a first length and are adapted to break away from the flag portion when the flag portion is deflected about the weakened portion.

16. A display article having a first article end and a second article end, comprising:

a first portion having a first portion end proximal the first article end and first and second spaced tabs disposed at a second portion end opposite the first portion end; and

a second portion adjacent the first portion and integral therewith wherein the second portion includes a third portion end adjacent the second portion end and disposed between the first and second spaced tabs and a fourth portion end proximal the second article end wherein the first portion and the second portion together define a rectangle;

wherein the first portion includes a first transverse edge and a second transverse edge adapted to be received in a first hp and a second lip, respectively, of a label holder such that the first portion is maintained in a curved shape and wherein the first portion and the first and second spaced tabs further include a back face and an adhesive disposed on the back face that is adapted to be adhered to a shelf; and

wherein the second portion includes a weakened portion about which the second portion is adapted to be deflected to a display position transverse to the first portion and wherein the second portion is adapted to be maintained at the display position by interference between portions of the second portion and the first and second lips.

17. The display article of claim 16 , wherein the back face is covered by a releasable liner that includes die cuts proximal the first and second article ends.

18. The display article of claim 16 , wherein the second portion includes a first face that has first indicia printed thereon and a second face opposite the first face that has second indicia printed thereon.

19. The display article of claim 18 , wherein the first indicia and the second indicia are identical.

20. The display article of claim 18 , wherein the first indicia and the second indicia are different.

21. The display article of claim 18 , wherein the second face comprises a releasable layer and the weakened portion comprises a die cut in the releasable layer.

22. The display article of claim 16 , wherein the first and second tabs include first and second tab edges, respectively, substantially coincident with a top edge and a bottom edge, respectively, of the second portion.

23. The display article of claim 22 , wherein the first and second tabs include third and fourth tab edges, respectively, and first and second tab ends, respectively.

24. The display article of claim 23 , wherein the third and fourth tab edges are of substantially the same length.

25. The display article of claim 24 , wherein the first and second tabs have a first length and the weakened portion is disposed along the first length.
