<p>Extruded heat-set polymeric films are die-cut into labels (34), dispensed past peel-back edges (38), and applied to deformable or squeezable workpieces (36) afer being treated differently in their lengthwise and cross directions so as to have different stiffnesses in the respective directions and achieve a tradeoff between dispensability and conformability superior to that of prior art labels of heat-set polymeric material. In one particular respect, unilayer polyethylene is treated differently in machine and cross directions to yield improved heat-set polyethylene labels (34).</p> |
