Abstract

See full text

A labelling tie (10) includes a tie portion (14), a wire assembly (24), and a bib portion (16) connected to the tie portion. The tie portion (10) has a first arm (18-R), a mid-segment, and a second arm (18-L). Spaced apart perforations (20) intersect each of the first and second arms. The wire assembly (24) has a retention wire (26) that spans across the first arm, the mid-segment, and the second arm. A sheet of labelling ties (62) includes separably connected labelling ties. A method attaches a labelling tie to an item or a group of items. The method includes wrapping the first arm (18-R) and second arm (18-L) around at least one object (12, 12′), allowing the first and second arms to meet at a location with a portion of the first arm and a portion of the second arm extending past the location, and twisting the first and second arm portions together, thereby securing the tie portion around the object(s).
