Abstract
A web is dispensed from a roll and includes first and second bands adjoining along a fold line. A pattern of release is applied to the front side of the web along the first band, and a pattern of adhesive is applied to the front side of the web along the second band. The web is folded along the fold line to bond together the first and second bands in a laminate, and exposing back sides of the bands on opposite sides of the laminate. The second band is cut to define a removable label therein.
