A bit of history
The forefathers of the labels we know today - or labels - were the marks on earthenware wine vessels.
Radically labels changed only with the invention of paper. Initially, these were laconic 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, an American businessman R. Stanton Avery became the inventor of the first self-adhesive labels. The adhesive surface of these labels was attached to a special silicone backing.
Later paper labels were replaced by their more durable counterparts made of synthetic materials.
By the way, such geniuses as Salvador Dali, Vrubel, Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Bilibin worked on the creation of labels.
