A bit of history
The ancestors of the modern labels known to us - or labels - were stamps on clay vessels for wines.
Labels have changed radically only with the invention of paper. Initially, these were concise rectangles or ovals with a minimum of design and information.
At the end of the 19th century, the first paper labels appeared. And in the thirties of the XX century, businessman from America R. Stanton Avery became the inventor of the first self-adhesive labels. The adhesive surface of such labels was attached to a special silicone substrate.
Later, paper labels were replaced by their more wear-resistant counterparts from synthetic materials.
By the way, such geniuses as Salvador Dali, Vrubel, Vasily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Bilibin worked on the creation of labels.
