You may be right - labelling is not my strong point - but I think it's an adjective. You are pressing it so that it becomes flat.

Not in Br E. You can press something flat, just as you can hold a door open or hammer a bar straight,

Sorry, my last post was a little ambiguous. I meant that although those two sentences share the same meanings the two flats belong to separate parts of speech, in my opinion.
