  • Changeable media labels
    Patent number: 5597634
    Abstract: A changeable label pad has a base label layer which can be adhesively attached to a recording media container. A first adhesive having a first strength attaches the base label layer to the container. At least two label segments are attached to the base label layer. The label segments combine to cover most of the base label layer and the label segments are separated from each other. A second adhesive having a second strength which is weaker than that of the first adhesive attaches the label segments to the base label layer. The total area of all of the label segments in a layer of label segments is less than the total area of all of the label segments in an underlying layer of label segments.
