Slidably fastenable tag

摘要

The marking tag for quick and easy slidable fastening on a stalk of merchandise consists essentially of a flat sheet of highly flexible and easily crushed and distorted plastic material having a thickness between 7 and 14 mils and having an information portion for printed matter and a stalk-receiving portion for affixation to a stalk of merchandise. The stalk-receiving portion has a single circular hole between 5 and 10 mm in diameter and surrounded by at least 10 radial slits equidistantly spaced about the hole and having a radial length about equal to the diameter of the hole. The long and narrow and blunt radial fingers so formed are so highly flexible as to readily curve out of the flat plane of the sheet material as the hole is slid onto merchandise, and all edges of the marking tag are incapable of causing a paper cut to a person affixing it and incapable of causing cutting or gouging action to the merchandise, regardless of how the marking tag is slid or rotated on or off the stalk.
