Claims7
A method for forming a label product made up of first and second labels formed integrally together in which the first label includes primary information to be used on a first substrate and the second label includes secondary information to be used on a second substrate, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) unwinding a base web having upper and lower surfaces and a base adhesive coating the lower surface;
- b) selectively applying adhesive deadener to the base adhesive;
- c) applying a second adhesive to the adhesive deadener;
- d) printing primary and secondary indicia on the upper surface of the base web, the primary indicia representing the primary information concerning the first substrate and the secondary indicia representing the secondary information concerning the second substrate;
- and
- e) cutting the base web to form cut lines defining a permanent portion and a temporary portion, each forming a part of the base web, such that the primary indicia is disposed on the permanent portion and the secondary indicia disposed on the temporary portion, and such that at least a portion of the adhesive deadener and at least a portion of the second adhesive underlie the temporary portion.
