The goods can be removed just as easily and conveniently through the slits in the curtain as if the curtain were not there. The lettering can be adapted to the width of the compartment, but it can also be made so that it is repeated several times while maintaining appropriate distances. In the second case, especially if the curtain is delivered as an infinite rolled-up web, the individual curtain can simply be adapted to different compartment widths, taking into account the distribution of the lettering. Individual unlabelled strips in the spaces between the inscribed zones may be omitted here. When producing the curtain, the slitting is preferably done after the printing. The curtain can be attached to the compartment base 2 in any desired manner. In a preferred embodiment, an adhesive strip 7 is provided which runs along the upper edge of the curtain and is provided with an adhesive surface covered by a cover strip.
