Well, that's the theory anyway. The reality is that the split doesn't quite split, and because the tape is so small, you need a child's fingers to open it out. If you're doing all the labelling after a long day's work, you might have worked up a sweat, in which case your hands will be covered with salt - and we all know how well labels stick after being pawed at with a salty fingernail.
