Where, because of the size or physical characteristics of the material in which the work is reproduced in copies, it is impossible or extremely impractical to affix a notice to the copies directly or by means of a durable label, a notice is acceptable if it appears on a tag that is of durable material, so as to withstand normal use, and that is attached to the copy with sufficient durability that it will remain with the copy while it is passing through its normal channels of commerce.
4)
Where a work is reproduced in copies con­sisting of sheet-like or strip material bearing multiple or continuous reproduc­tions of the work, the notice may be applied: (i) to the reproduction itself: (ii) to the margin, selvage, or reverse side of the material at frequent and regular intervals: or (iii) if the material contains neither a selvage nor a reverse side, to tags or labels, attached to the copies and to any spools, reels, or con­tainers housing them in such a way that a notice is visible while the copies are passing through their normal channels of commerce.

See 37 C.F.R. 201.20(i)(1-4).
