Self-laminating rotating cable marker with breakaway portion
A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.
1. A self-laminating rotatable cable marker for use with a cable comprising:
a first non-adhesive clear material layer;
a clear adhesive layer attached to the first non-adhesive clear material layer;
a second non-adhesive clear material layer attached to the first clear adhesive layer opposite the first non-adhesive clear material layer, the second non-adhesive clear material located at a distance from a first end of the cable marker and has a length greater than a circumference of the cable and less than a length of the cable marker; and
a perforation located at a distance from the first end of the cable marker greater than the distance the second non-adhesive clear material layer is located from the first end of the cable marker.
2. The self-laminating rotatable cable marker of claim 1 wherein the second non-adhesive clear material layer is stiffer than the first non-adhesive clear material layer.
3. The self-laminating rotatable cable marker of claim 2 further comprising a label layer attached to the first non-adhesive clear material layer opposite the clear adhesive layer.
