A computer carrier strip having perforated feed is slit longitudinally and a label price tag strip having a gummed back is adhered to the computer strip, after which the strips are perforated to form tear lines, and cutouts are made to make a composite strip form carrying T-shaped label-price tag sheets connected together by perforated tear lines only at the tops and bottoms of the labels and with the price tag portions separated by the cutouts and connected to the labels only by perforated tear or fold lines superimposed along the slit along the computer strip. A computer prints the names, addresses, contents of shipping cartons on the labels and prices on the price tags. Then, when a carton having merchandise therein is to be shipped, the label for that carton is peeled from the backing strip and carries with it the price tag portion and the portion of the backing strip under the price tag portion. The price tag portion, with its backing strip portion, is folded back under the central portion of the label leaving adhesive upper and lower portions which are pressed against the carton. Then, when the carton reaches its destination and is opened, the user tears the label, with the price tags and backing strip portion from the carton, and removes the gummed price tags as needed. Other computer strips have the labels slit completely from each other, and in one of these computer strips, each label has one corner cut out to facilitate peeling the adjacent label.
