a first ply having an underside and including at least one first portion and at least one second portion, the underside of said at least one second portion being substantially coated with an adhesive, said first portion and said second portion being readily separable from a remainder of said first ply and being adapted for having indicia applied thereon;
and
a second ply having an upper side adhesively bonded to the underside of said first ply, at least one first section and at least one second section respectively in register with said at least one first portion and said at least one second portion, said at least one second portion being adhesively bonded to and readily releasable from the upper side of said at least one second section and securable elsewhere by means of the adhesive thereon, said at least one first section being readily separable from said second ply, and the underside of said at least one first portion being permanently bonded with the upper side of said at least one first section by an adhesive to form a multiple-ply laminate readily separable from said form.

A multiple-ply label form for an operation control system comprising:

a first ply having an underside and including one portion and another portion, the underside of said one portion being substantially coated with an adhesive, the underside of said other portion being substantially free of an adhesive, and each said portion being readily separable from said first ply and being adapted for having indicia applied thereon;
and
a second ply having an upper side with a peripheral boundary substantially bonded adhesively to the underside of said first ply and including one section and another section respectively in register with said one portion and said other portion, the adhesive on the underside of said one portion being bonded to and readily releasable from the upper side of said one section and securable elsewhere by means of the adhesive.

A multiple-ply label form for use in an operation control system comprising:

said first ply having an underside coated with an adhesive in a pattern and including one portion and another portion formed to be readily separable from said first ply, said adhesive being coated onto at least a substantial part of the underside of said one portion, the underside of said other portion being substantially excluded from said adhesive pattern, said one portion and said other portion each being adapted to include identification indicia thereon;
said second ply having its underside coated with adhesive and having one section of its upper side coated with a release material in register with said one portion, said one portion being separable from said top ply, releasable from said second ply and securable elsewhere by means of said adhesive on the underside of said one portion;
