1. A labelling arrangement for a multi-part container comprising:
a sleeve-shaped cap element having an interlocking structure on an inner surface and configured to be applied to a first part of the container and coupled to an outer surface of the first part by means of the interlocking structure, and
a sealing label having a first label portion and a second label portion adjacent to the first label portion, the second label portion is configured to be attached to a second part of the container, and the first label portion is configured, with respect to a state of the sealing label, to be applied to the container to surround the applied cap element with respect to a longitudinal axis,
wherein the labelling arrangement further comprises at least one severing area, so that when the container applied with the labelling arrangement is opened, the labelling arrangement is severable in the severing area and at least a part of the cap element is removable together with the first part of the container from the second part of the container
wherein the interlocking structure has at least one toothed element which is configured to engage in a recess on the outer surface of the first part of the container when the cap element is fitted to the first part of the container and to couple the cap element to the first part of the container; and
wherein the at least one toothed element comprises:
a snap-in hook configured to form a positive-locking connection with the first part of the container, so that with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cap element, a holding force is established between the cap element and the first part in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
