A data carrier provides health related information regarding a patient, and facilitates compliance with HIPAA by the obscuring the association between the name of the patient and the health related information when the data carrier is to be discarded. The data carrier includes a release liner, a health information label having an upper surface and a lower surface, the label including a first area on the upper surface for indicia specifying health related information and a second area on the upper surface for indicia specifying the identity of a patient, and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the lower surface of the health information label, securing the health information label to the release liner. A masking label is either integral with the health information label, or the liner. By various arrangements the masking label is either removed from the health information label, thereby disassociating the patient identity and the health related information, or the masking label is secured to the health information label so as to cover and obscure the name of the patient or the information, or both.

A two-way shipping label construction includes a strip of release material, a first printable label, and a second printable label. The first label is adhered to the strip of release material by the first pressure sensitive adhesive coating and includes at least one customer receipt label defined by a die cut having one or more ties. The first label has a first surface with a release coating on a portion thereof, and a second surface with a first pressure sensitive adhesive coating. The second label has a first surface and a second surface with a second pressure sensitive adhesive coating. The second printable label adheres to the strip of release material by the second pressure sensitive adhesive coating adjacent the first printable label. The second printable label includes at least one manifest label defined by a die cut having one or more ties.

An information band for mounting an electrically conductive circuit, such as a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag. The band comprises a base strip and a top strip. A single sheet of label stock can include a plurality of such bands such that the sheet can be passed through a conventional printer to accept printed indicia onto a surface of one or more bands. These bands can be die cut to facilitate individual removal. The top strip can be either integral with the base strip or a separate piece that can be affixed to a surface of the base strip. Once indicia has been printed to the band, the RFID tag may be manually affixed between the base strip and the top strip, where adhesive disposed therebetween secures the RFID tag. The adhesive may be peripherally deposited such that an adhesive-free zone is formed between the two layers so that when the RFID tag is attached, it does not come in contact with the adhesive.

Two-way shipping label construction and method

A coating composition is provided for various substrates which renders them receptive to thermal transfer images formed thereon and provides the substrates and images with resistance to moisture, abrasion, and solvents. A mixture of radiation curable oligomers, monomers, and optionally a free radical initiator are blended together, coated onto a substrate, and then cured. Other optional components in the coating include an adhesion promoter, coloring agents, pigments, and/or fillers.
