Abstract: A novel method to provide a consumer printable label. The method includes an adhesive-backed stock layer which may be printed on both surfaces. Following the desired printing, an ultraviolet varnish is applied to a portion of the stock surface which is not adhesive backed and an adhesive laminate covers the stock surface, including the portion to which the ultraviolet varnish was applied. The laminate is then removed from the portion of the stock layer to which the ultraviolet varnish was applied. This portion of the label may be printed by the consumer while the remainder of the label remains protected by the laminate which was not removed.
