Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing a reverse-printed pressure-sensitive cut label using thin or lighter liners in a continuous process and single pass. The invention eliminates the need for printing over the adhesive or silicone and permits reverse printing directly on the backside of the label face stock. Further, the present invention obviates the need for shipment of finished label material to a printer for printing and eliminates the multiple steps and costly equipment involved in silicone coating release paper in-line during the label making process. In addition, the present invention provides a method of producing multiple, single webs of cut reverse-printed labels in a single pass, saving both materials costs and additional unwinding, slitting and rewinding steps and equipment.
