Clear, peelable plastic labels

Abstract

A clear plastic label for attachment to a product package, such as a glass bottle, through a tacky adhesive component. The clear plastic label includes at least an outer plastic substrate and an inner substrate secured together though a weak interlayer bond. The inner substrate has a lower surface secured to the product package through the tacky adhesive and has a peel strength to the tacky adhesive greater than the peel strength of the weak interlayer bond. Thus, when a person applies a peel force to the clear plastic label, the outer plastic substrate is peeled from the product by separating from the inner substrate at the weak interlayer bond, thereby leaving the inner substrate overlying the tacky adhesive to eliminate the tacky feel of the adhesive and at least partially mask any odor of the adhesive.
