The present invention relates to a self-adhesive label (1), designed to be adhered to and around a container by means of a self-adhesive layer (9') on the back (9) of the label. This layer is protected up to the time of its use by the use of a release film having a smooth contact layer. The label is fastened to the substrate starting with one of its ends (2), which on its outer side (10) is provided with a release area (11), obtained by printing a layer thereon. The central portion (3) of the label is provided with a text or the like printed thereon. The layer has a larger length than the circumferential dimension of the container and will consequently with its other end (4) overlap said one end and be fastened to it by said self-adhesive layer. Said other end has sections (5, 6), which can be torn off and are separated from each other by perforations (7, 8), to be attached to an injection device or the like. According to the invention the release area is a layer, which is broken up or is the label material itself on the outer side of said primary area (2), broken up in order to form a substrate and fastening surface, which can vary as to size and has a variable/determinable retaining ability as regards said other label end. The applied layer, which constitutes the release area, is made of a screen print ink through screen or silk printing and constitutes at least one portion of the release area, produced at the same time as and made of the same substance as the patterning of the label for the rest.
