A method for producing a label for affixing to a syringe body, which label on both sides of an extension area comprises a first flat side and a second flat side,a first label region, which is wrappable about the syringe body,a second label region, which is joined to the first label region and which on the first flat side and/or the second flat side comprises a needle receiving device for a syringe needle for the protection from injuries through the syringe needle. The needle receiving device is produced into a receiving device region wholly or partly forming the needle receiving device by applying a build-up layer onto a carrier substrate of the second label region and moulding the build-up layer on the carrier substrate.
