paper labels

Sticky identification sheets

Paper labels are adhesive-backed pieces of paper used to identify, describe, or decorate items.

They appear on products, file folders, packages, and countless other surfaces where information needs to be attached: She printed paper labels for the jam jars.

The term often distinguishes traditional labels from plastic, fabric, or digital alternatives.
