  • Patent number: 4787158
    Abstract: An easy removal pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed label includes a tamper indicator which is especially useful as a pricing label for consumer goods is provided. The label includes nonadhesive finger grip which may be grasped with the fingers to assist in removal of the label from the surface to which it has been applied. The label further includes a score line which causes it to separate completely into two sections, thus bisecting the information on the label, when removal of the label is attempted. Reapplication of the label to another surface, such as might be attempted by an unscrupulous consumer desiring to switch labels, requires precise alignment of the label sections to avoid detection. A method for producing this tamper indicating pressure-sensitive adhesive label which may be readily adapted to conventional laminate production line procedures is also provided.
