Creating Flag Labels

Flag labels wrap around a wire or cable leaving the text part of the label extending out from the cable. The text on Flag labels is automatically printed on both ends of the label, leaving a blank space in the middle that

wraps around the cable. When the label is applied to the cable, both ends of the label are applied back to back leaving a tail or flag. The result is a label that can be read from both sides.
