Data storage object label with removal area

Abstract

A label for labeling a data storage object, comprising a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has a first side and a second side. The first side of the first layer forms the front side of the label and provides a surface for receiving indicia such as a written description of the contents of the data storage object. The second side of the first layer is substantially and completely covered with a removable bond adhesive. The second layer is a patterned application of a material, which can be an ink or varnish, or a continuous sheetlike layer of material, or another substance which forms a layer when applied to the second side of the first layer. The pattern of the second layer can be a geometrical pattern or a random pattern, or a combination of geometric and random patterns. When the second layer is applied or attached to the first layer, the second layer defines both areas of exposed adhesive, where the second side of the first layer is an outer surface of the label, and areas where the second layer is an outer surface of the label. At least one area of the adhesive side of the label has a removal area. The removal area allows the user to conveniently remove the label.
