Tampa-indicating article for reusable substrates

This invention relates to pressure-sensitive adhesive coated, tamper-indicating articles. A tamper-indicating article comprises (a) a pressure-sensitive adhesive film or pressure-sensitive adhesive-coated tape that can be removed, without exhibiting cohesive failure, from a substrate surface (e.g., an automobile windshield) by stretching the film or tape; and (b) at least one damageable layer that shows cohesive or intralayer failure when an attempt is made to remove the article from the substrate surface. The article is especially useful for application to valuable, non-disposable substrates and can be removed therefrom without substrate damage.
