Abstract

A plurality of two-ply labels in sheet form include base and top layers on a single backing sheet with a release surface to which the transparent base layer is adhered with a transparent pressure sensitive adhesive. The top layer is unprinted paper releasably adhered to the upper side of the base layer by a dry residue adhesive. The top and base layers are cut to define a grid of printable labels and the sheets are of a size that can be fed through an inkjet or laser printer or copier. The adhesion between the base and top layers is less than the internal cohesion of the base and top layers and the adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive. A user can print the labels and peel them from the backing sheet, apply them to a product or other substrate, and the top layer can then be peeled from the base layer leaving the transparent base layer adhered to the substrate with the separated top sheet and the exposed surface of the base layer substantially tack-free. A method of making and using such a label sheet is also disclosed.
