Removable linerless label zigzag and shingled constructions

A pad of labels for use with containers, comprising first and second alternating types of labels:

• said first type of label comprising a substrate having first and second faces and first and second edges;
• indicia printed on said first face;
• a coating of removable adhesive disposed on said second face;
• a pattern of permanent adhesive disposed adjacent said first edge of said first face, and a cooperating pattern disposed adjacent said second edge of said second face;
• and
• said second type of label comprising a substrate having first and second faces and first and second edges;
• indicia printed on said first face;
• a coating of removable adhesive disposed on said second face;
• a pattern of permanent adhesive disposed adjacent said second edge of said first face, and a cooperating pattern disposed adjacent said first edge of said second face.

A label for use with a container, comprising:

• a substrate having first and second faces and first and second edges;
• indicia printed on said first face;
• a coating of removable adhesive disposed on said second face of said substrate;
• a pattern of permanent adhesive disposed adjacent said first edge of said first face, comprising a plurality of strips of permanent adhesive elongated in the dimension between said first and second edges only extending less than half of the distance between said first and second edges, and spaced from each other in a dimension transverse to the distance between said first and second edges;
• a permanent adhesive release material covering said first face except at said permanent adhesive pattern;
• and
• a cooperating pattern disposed on said second face adjacent said second edge, said cooperating pattern having spaced strips aligned with the spaced strips on said first face when said label is wrapped around a container portion.

A container and label combination comprising:

• a container having an exterior surface having a circumference;
• a label substrate having first and second faces in a generally quadrate configuration, and first and second opposite edges, said first and second edges spaced from each other a distance greater than said container circumference, said substrate wrapped around said container exterior surface with said first and second edges overlapping each other;
• indicia printed on said first face;
• a coating of removable adhesive disposed on said second face of said substrate;
• a pattern of permanent adhesive disposed adjacent said first edge of said first face, comprising a plurality of strips of permanent adhesive elongated in the dimension between said first and second edges only extending less than half of the distance between said first and second edges, and spaced from each other in a dimension transverse to the distance between said first and second edges;
• a permanent adhesive release material covering said first face except at said permanent adhesive pattern;
• and
• a cooperating pattern disposed on said second face adjacent said second edge, said cooperating pattern having spaced strips aligned with the spaced strips on said first face when said label is wrapped around a container portion.
