Abstract: A method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a backing of release material including the steps of; a) providing an elongate web comprising a self-adhesive support web having a backing of release material; b) die-cutting and removing from the backing of release material a succession of portions of the support web; c) adhering a succession of multilaminar label portions to the succession of intermediate parts of the support web; and d) adhering a succession of portions of a self-adhesive overlaminate to the upper surface of the succession of multilaminar label portions so that each portion of the overlaminate substantially covers the respective multilaminar label portion and a respective portion of the backing of release material which is adjacent to the respective multilaminar label portion, the second portion of the upper surface of each intermediate part of the support web being left substantially uncovered by the overlaminate.

Abstract: A self-adhesive label carried on a backing of release material, the label comprising: a self-adhesive support piece which is releasably adhered to the backing; a multilaminar label portion adhered to a first portion of an upper surface of the support piece, a second portion of the upper surface of the support piece adjacent the first portion being left uncovered by the multilaminar label portion; and a self-adhesive overlaminate adhered to an upper surface of the multilaminar label portion so as substantially to cover the multilaminar label portion and to cover a portion of the backing of release material adjacent to the multilaminar label portion thereby to retain the multilaminar label portion in a closed configuration, and wherein the second portion of the upper surface of the support piece is left substantially uncovered by the overlaminate.
