• the invention shown in Figures Ia and I b designed as a strap label film element has a base layer 1 of a plastic film, from which the suspension tab 2 is pulled out.
• the suspension tab 2 is separated by means of stamped dividing lines 3 of the remaining base layer 1, and the underside pressure-sensitive adhesive coating 4 treated in the region of the suspension tab 2 with a so-called adhesive killer, so that here is a non- or low-adhesion zone 5, while the rest Base layer 1 on the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating 4 can firmly adhere to a proper container.

• the mobility of the suspension lug 2 is, in order to ensure better dispensability, compared to the rest of the base layer 1 by the bridging layer 6, which is printed on the base layer 1 by punching the dividing lines 3 by means of preferably double screen printing on the latter. With a thickness of 3 .mu.m to a few tens of micrometers, the suspension loop can nevertheless be pulled out of the remaining base layer 1 without any problem using tools.
• Fig. 2 shows a simply designed form of a hanger label, in which also a printed bridging layer 6 bridges the dividing line 3, by which the hanger tab 2 is defined.
• Fig. 3 shows a similar Fig. 2 designed strap label, however, wherein the bridging layer 6 is interrupted across the longest extension of the Auf vonsche 2 multiple times and reaches up to the dividing line 3 opposite edge of the suspension tab 2. This configuration makes it possible to elongate the hanging tab 2 defined at the positions where the bridging layer 6 is interrupted by stretching.
• the stretching can preferably take place before or during, but also after the application of the film element.
• the hanging tab 2 bulges out thereby and is thus better tangible.
• the defined elongation of the hanger tab 2 allows attachment of the foil member at a greater distance from the container bottom without causing problems in pulling the hanger tab 2 over the container bottom edge.
• the requirements for the accuracy of the Positioning of the film element on the container on the other hand can also be intentionally provided a certain distance between the container bottom and film element, which is desirable, inter alia, for aesthetic reasons. Overall, the turnability of the suspension tab 2 over the container bottom is greatly improved by the elongation.
• the bridging layer 6 extends to the edge of the suspension tab 2 opposite the parting line 3.

• the film element shown in Fig. 5 is designed as a hanger label with a particularly long suspension lug 2, which has two tab-like bulges 8, through which it is easier to grip. Since the bridging layer 6, which bridges the dividing line 3, extends into the mesh-like bulges 8, they are relatively stiff and therefore easy to grasp. Further, the bridging layer 6 covers almost the entire hanging tab 2, thereby giving it higher stability against tearing. Due to the large length of the dividing line 3 makes their bridging compared to conventional labels of the same blank particularly positively noticeable.
• FIG. 5 trained, shown in Fig. 6 label by an additional punching or slotting 1 3 in the suspension lug 2.
• This additional dividing line 1 3 runs approximately parallel to the dividing line 3 and acts Rißfortish or Cracking.
• Such additional separating lines 1 3 can be regarded as force distribution elements, which can divert forces along the weakening into uninjured material regions or can distribute them to a larger force-absorbing surface area. Thus, the locally occurring maximum load is reduced. If cracked, the crack propagates only to the additional parting line 13, along which stress spikes are broken down, thereby reducing the stress on individual material segments.
• the additional dividing line 1 3 acts as a clearly defined tear stop, ie, as a predetermined crack end, when a crack should begin to spread from the edge of the grip tab 2.
• the film element shown in Fig. 7 is designed similarly as in Fig. 6, the bridging layer 6 bridged here, however, only the additional parting line 1 3, but not the parting line 3, which defines the suspension tab.

• the bridging layer 6 may consist of a wide variety of materials, in addition to ordinary printing ink, for example, braille ink or other conventional relief paints, as well as a wide variety of previously known printable compositions. Also advantageous may be flexible, thinly applied casting resins, for example made of polyurethane, which bring about particularly high stability and particularly pleasant haptic properties. Also particularly advantageous is an embodiment of the bridging layer 6 as an extrusion coating, for example made of PE or PP.

Alternatively, the pressure of the tax stamp can also be done before the delamination.
• the dividing line 3 is punched, which is at least partially overprinted with the bridging layer 6. Thereafter, a further punching done.
• the bridging layer 6 it is particularly appropriate to punch the outer contour of the film element after printing the bridging layer 6, if the latter is to reach to the edge of the film element, as shown in Figures 3-7. If, on the other hand, the bridging layer 6 is printed here after punching the outer contour, then the bridging layer 6 can sometimes interfere with the final lattice take-off.
