Label form for use in drug testing and method for applying the same

A multi-segment label form for use in drug testing, comprising:

• an elongated label carrying sheet said sheet having a surface for detachably receiving label sets comprising label segments having self-adhering adhesive coatings thereon;
• and
• a plurality of label sets disposed on said label carrying sheet and detachably adhered thereto without being attached to each other, each label set including
• a first label segment having a permanent affixation adhesive layer on a major surface,
• a second label segment detachably connected to said first label segment, said second label segment having a temporary affixation adhesive layer on a major surface,
• a line of perforations between said first label segment and said second label segment to facilitate the detachment of said first label segment from said second label segment.

• and
• a plurality of label sets disposed on said label carrying sheet and detachably adhered thereto without being attached to each other, each label set including
• a first label segment having a permanent affixation adhesive layer on a major surface,
• a second label segment detachably attached to said first label segment, said second label segment having a removable cover portion and an underlying data portion having one major surface adapted to receive indicia that is unreadable until said removable cover portion is removed, said data portion having a temporary affixation adhesive layer on the opposite major surface,
• a third label segment attached to said second label segment, said third label segment having a temporary affixation adhesive layer on a major surface,
• a line of perforations between said first label segment and said second label segment to facilitate the detachment of said first label segment from said second label segment.

A method for applying a plurality of label sets to corresponding containers so that a first label segment of a label set is applied to a container and second and third label segments of said label set are applied to a corresponding case report document for drug testing purposes comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a major surface of said first label segment of each label set with a permanent affixation adhesive layer;
• b) providing a major surface of said second and said third label segments of each label set with a temporary affixation adhesive layer;
• c) detachably adhering said first, said second, and said third label segments of a plurality of label sets to an elongated label carrying sheet so that said label sets are adjacent to and not attached to each other;
• d) advancing said label carrying sheet in the longitudinal direction thereof to a label transfer station;
• and
• e) detaching each label set from said label carrying sheet at said label transfer station, and (i) applying said first label segment to said container to permanently adhere said first label segment to said container, and (ii) applying said second and said third label segments to said container to temporarily and detachably adhere said second and said third label segments to said container.
