Communicating with each other, people often use a variety of assessment relating to the person and properties of character of a person. If you know of a person assessment can be completely objective. But in surface contact with strangers often occurs the so-called "labeling".

What is the shortcut

The word "label" has a long history. In ancient times, the manufacturers of different types of products wanted, somehow, to denote his possession of the items and provide them with explanatory signs. Archaeologists often found during excavations of the bottle, amphora and clay vessels of wine, to which were attached the rotting pieces of skin or parchment. Such labels often had notes.

With the advent of paper explaining the labels came into wide use. At first these signs were very expensive and were used by manufacturers of luxury products and luxury items.

On the paper label it can hold much more useful and relevant information than on a piece of parchment.

Nowadays, the labels commonly used in the trade. They can be found on garments or bottles of wine. The main function of the label remained unchanged. It is usually in a compressed form carries all the important information about the properties of an object, and sometimes also serves as a marketing tool.
