A label for placing on a syringe body has a first foil portion, which can be wound around a syringe body, a needle-receiving means for protecting against injuries by the syringe needle, having at least one second foil portion and a shaped plastic part that can be pressed on laterally against the syringe needle, and a transition area via which the needle-receiving means is connected pivotably to the first foil portion. The transition area protrudes laterally over the first foil portion in a first direction, and the label has one or more foils in the transition area. At least one first weakening element is provided in at least one foil in the transition area of the label. The weakening element has an orientation deviating from the first direction.
