System and method for manufacturing adhesive label-on-label arrays on tapes or strips

Abstract

A novel label-on-label array is disclosed which is adapted for use with medicine containers and like devices. The label array includes a bottom adhesive, a bottom label above the bottom adhesive, a top adhesive above a predetermined part of the bottom label, and a top label above the bottom label. Identical informational indicia are printed upon the top label and the bottom label. A doctor, nurse, or other individual can remove the top label from the bottom label and paste the top label on a patient's medical chart or other location so as to insure that information which appears on the patient's medical chart is identical with information appearing on the medicine container. A method of manufacturing the label array is also disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a carrier, bottom adhesive and bottom label; providing a flood coat of top adhesive and release agent to the top of the bottom label; and affixing the top label to the top adhesive in a predetermined position above the bottom label.
