Fold one of the corners of the label, just a tiny corner, back towards the backing paper, then forward.
It matters which way you bend, because of the relative stiffness of the paper and the plastic; you have to bend *towards* the paper, which will stay folded, away from the plastic.
What?!? Forward instead of backward? KILL THE UNBELIEVER! KILL! KILL!
Way to misquote me, Karl. :-)
The alternative approach, to which ALL right-thinking persons subscribe, is to avoid, as much as possible, folding the label. Because, indeed and as you say, it will remain folded. If the label does have to be bent, it should be left bent down, not up. Bending it towards the backing may work on it's own, subjecting the backing paper to the more acute deformation, and the label may even thereafter return to the flat position uncreased, leaving the backing paper separated. The more destructive bend upwards may also leave a corner of the label bent up and away from the surface the label will be on.
It isn't necessary to bend it so sharply that the crease will stay in the plastic, no. And no, I didn't say the "label would stay folded". I said the "backing would stay folded". GET IT RIGHT!!!!!1111!!!!ONE!!!!ELEVENTYONE!
