A labeling article comprising: a label having a first major surface, a second major surface that opposes the first major surface, a first edge portion and a second edge portion offset from the first edge portion along a first axis; and a first elastic securing (14A, 14B) band comprising: a first end bonded to the first major surface at a first bond zone (24A,24B) located adjacent to the first edge portion; a second end bonded to the first major surface at a second bond (26A,26B) zone located adjacent to the second edge portion; and a span (14A,14B) extending along the first axis between the first end and the second end of the first elastic securing band; charicterised by a first release liner (40A,40B) disposed on the first major surface along the axis between the first bond zone and the second bond zone, the first release liner having a surface area that is less than a surface area of the first major surface, wherein the span of the first elastic securing band is releasable from the first release liner such that the span of the first elastic securing band is configured to be stretched to define a loop (38A,38B) between the span of the first elastic securing band and the first release liner. a label having a first major surface, a second major surface that opposes the first major surface, a first edge portion and a second edge portion offset from the first edge portion along a first axis; and a first elastic securing (14A, 14B) band comprising: a first end bonded to the first major surface at a first bond zone (24A,24B) located adjacent to the first edge portion; a second end bonded to the first major surface at a second bond (26A,26B) zone located adjacent to the second edge portion; and a span (14A,14B) extending along the first axis between the first end and the second end of the first elastic securing band; charicterised by a first release liner (40A,40B) disposed on the first major surface along the axis between the first bond zone and the second bond zone, the first release liner having a surface area that is less than a surface area of the first major surface, wherein the span of the first elastic securing band is releasable from the first release liner such that the span of the first elastic securing band is configured to be stretched to define a loop (38A,38B) between the span of the first elastic securing band and the first release liner. a first end bonded to the first major surface at a first bond zone (24A,24B) located adjacent to the first edge portion; a second end bonded to the first major surface at a second bond (26A,26B) zone located adjacent to the second edge portion; and a span (14A,14B) extending along the first axis between the first end and the second end of the first elastic securing band; charicterised by a first release liner (40A,40B) disposed on the first major surface along the axis between the first bond zone and the second bond zone, the first release liner having a surface area that is less than a surface area of the first major surface, wherein the span of the first elastic securing band is releasable from the first release liner such that the span of the first elastic securing band is configured to be stretched to define a loop (38A,38B) between the span of the first elastic securing band and the first release liner.
