• indicia printed on said first face of said base stock;
• a release liner having second, third, and fourth edges in substantial alignment with said substrate second, third, and fourth edges, respectively, and having first and second faces;
• an adhesive layer substantially covering said first face of said substrate, and connecting said second face of each of said base stock and said release liner to said substrate;
• the length of said third and fourth edges of each of said release liner and said base stock being roughly one half the length of said substrate third and fourth edges;
