Abstract
The application discloses multiple layered structures having releasable print layers to provide reverse side printing. The printing is formed of a mirror image print to provide the reverse side printing following release from an obverse side of a base structure. In illustrated embodiments, the application discloses multiple print layers including one or more non-mirror image print layers and the minor image print layer to provide reverse and obverse side print using a multiple layered structure or construction.

A multiple layered structure comprising:
- a base structure having an obverse side and a reverse side and including one or more layers including a protective layer on the obverse side;
- a releasable printed portion on the obverse side of the base structure and the releasable printed portion including a print layer and a releasable layer adhered to the protective layer on the obverse side of the base structure;
- and
- an adhesive layer disposed relative to the base structure, and a relative adhesion between the releasable layer and the protective layer and the adhesive layer and the releasable layer is configured to allow the releasable printed portion to separate from the obverse side of the base structure.
