Abstract: A pressure-sensitive label is provided. The pressure-sensitive label includes a support portion including a carrier layer and a transfer portion operatively connected to the support portion. The transfer portion includes at least an adhesive layer and an indicia layer. The transfer portion does not include a face stock layer. The transfer portion is configured for transfer of the transfer portion from the support portion to an article upon application of pressure to the transfer portion while the transfer portion is in contact with the article. A method of making a pressure-sensitive label is also provided. The method includes providing a first carrier layer, applying an indicia layer atop the first carrier layer, applying an adhesive layer atop the indicia layer, and applying a second carrier layer atop the adhesive layer.
