An improved label is provided for enhancing the grip of bottles, cans and other objects held with a person's hand or fingers. The label includes a panel member applied to the object over a plurality of beads, so as form raised portions in the label which enhance gripping of the object. The beads are spaced apart and extend substantially horizontally. The beads preferably have a geometric cross sectional shape. The label engages the object between adjacent beads. In an alternate embodiment, the raised portion of the label is formed by a series of horizontal folds which increase the thickness of the label to provide a rib or ridge in the label for enhanced gripping.
