A tape is adapted to be secured to a container or other object which when removed therefrom causes the display of a message which was formerly not visible, such as a notification that the object has been tampered with, the tape being provided on one surface with an adhesive layer so that it can be attached to the object and provided on its opposite surface with a release layer so that it can be wound upon itself and readily dispensed without having to remove a protective liner therefrom, the message displayed by the tape both when initially secured to said object and after removal therefrom being located on said one surface of said tape, whereby said tape may be readily and inexpensively manufactured and readily dispensed from appropriate mechanical equipment in large quantity applications.

A message-indicating self-wound elongated composite tape comprising a backing sheet having upper and lower surfaces, a first release coating on said lower surface covering only a portion of said lower surface in a pattern which when viewed conveys certain intelligence, a printed layer covering at least portions of said first release coating and said lower surface of said backing sheet not covered by said first release coating, and an adhesive layer substantially covering and exposed at the lower surface of said composite tape, said printed layer where it engages said backing sheet adhering more strongly to said backing sheet than to said adhesive layer, said first release coating ensuring that said printed layer where it engages said first release coating adheres more strongly to said adhesive layer than to said backing sheet, and a second release coating on said upper surface, said tape being wound on itself to form a multi-turn roll in which said second release coating of one turn directly engages said adhesive layer of the adjacent turn.
