caption_attribution_description: English: A sheet of 35 adhesive labels - 38 x 19 mm each
context_page_description: An adhesive label or sticky label is a small piece of paper designed to be affixed to another larger piece of paper or other object, typically by the action of a layer of adhesive on the back of the label.
  The most familiar type of label is the postage stamp, which was developed in the mid-19th century.
  In 1935, R. Stanton Avery invented a machine to make self-adhesive labels.
  The concept has since been extended into a variety of areas:
  On mail:
  airmail etiquettes
  charity labels
  address labels
  return address labels
  postage meter labels
  certain types of postal labels
  On other kinds of paper objects:
  revenue stamps
  savings stamps
  general markers, notices, or warnings
  Almost every imaginable type of paper and adhesive has been used at some point; see postage stamp paper and postage stamp gum for a more detailed discussion. Label may be produced individually, or in sheets, which case they are usually separated by perforations or rouletting, see postage stamp separation.
