Abstract: A multi-layer labeling system is disclosed including a label having an adhesive coated back surface adhesively mounted on an inside surface of a removable backing sheet. An adhesive coated inside surface of a transparent overlay is adhesively attached to an exposed edge of the inside surface of the backing sheet and an adjacent edge of the label. A removable separator sheet is adhesively attached to a portion of the inner surface of the transparent overlay. The removable separator sheet includes a spot carbonized portion; the inner surface of the removable separator sheet nonadhesively lies against an information surface of the label. Pressure may be applied to the outer surface of the transparent overlay without unfolding the multi-layer label system. Marking pressure applied to the carbonized area causes the transfer of a mark from the carbonized area to the information surface of the label.
