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.

Two-way shipping label construction

Two-way shipping label construction and method

A sampling kit form for storage and shipping of organic material. The form includes first and second coextensively joined plies, with adhesive and release coating placed at select locations therebetween such that the form surfaces are substantially free of lateral or longitudinal undulations, which allows the forms to be stacked without leaning or sagging. The first ply also includes a die cut that circumscribes a removable inset portion. Upon removal of the inset portion, adhesive disposed on an inner surface of the second ply is exposed, thus permitting the organic material, such as hair samples, to be placed on the exposed adhesive coating. Fold lines in the sheet establish preferential folding locations so that the organic material samples can be encased between layers of adhesive and release coating within the form once it is folded. The form also includes a postcard that can be detached along a perforated line of weakness. The form outer surfaces bear instructional indicia that can be added either prior to or after form assembly.

Sampling kit form

This need is met by the present invention wherein an improved shipment form is provided comprising a partially releasable liner ply, a peel-out package label portion, and a peel-out signature tab. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a shipment form is provided comprising a face sheet, a liner ply, and an adhesive interposed between the face sheet and the liner ply. The face sheet includes printed indicia for indicating an attempted delivery. The adhesive includes a laminating adhesive portion and a reusable adhesive portion. The liner ply defines a releasable liner ply portion adjoining a laminated liner ply portion. The releasable liner ply portion is configured to releasably adhere to the reusable adhesive portion while remaining adjoined to the laminated liner ply portion. The reusable adhesive portion and the releasable liner ply portion are configured such that the reusable adhesive portion retains its properties of adhesion following release of the releasable liner ply portion therefrom. The laminated liner ply portion is configured to adhere to the laminating adhesive portion with an adhesion strength substantially greater than an adhesion strength of the releasable liner ply portion to the reusable adhesive portion.

Shipment form

A multipart form and label combination is provided which may be printed in a single pass through a printer. The combination includes a face ply which may be printed with nonvariable and variable indicia, a film ply, and an optional intermediate liner ply. The combination also includes first, second or third removable portions such as, for example, a label, receipt or postcard. In a preferred embodiment, the multipart form and label combination is used as an inspection form.

Multipart form and label combination

A linerless continuous series of pressure sensitive adhesive labels is provided which have on one or more selected portions thereof a series of imagable coatings which may be activated to form colored images or areas. The series of labels include a web having first and second surfaces, with a series of imagable coatings of color formers and color developers on the first surface of the web. A coating of a release material overlies the imagable coatings on the first surface of the substrate, and a coating of a pressure sensitive adhesive is positioned on the second surface of the web. The series of labels are wound or stacked so that the coating of pressure sensitive adhesive contacts the release material to permit individual labels to be dispensed.

Imagable linerless pressure sensitive adhesive

A multipart form and label combination is provided which may be printed on both sides with variable and nonvariable information. The combination includes a face ply and a bottom ply, each of which include a pressure sensitive adhesive and a release agent coated on respective portions of their second surfaces. The face ply and bottom ply are adhered to one another such that a portion of the adhesive-coated surface of each ply is coextensive with the release agent-coated surface of the other ply. Each ply also includes a label portion which is removable from the combination. In a preferred embodiment, the multipart form and label combination is used as a packing list incorporating shipping and return labels.

A tri-fold label or business form is provided. The tri-fold label includes a label ply and a liner ply, both having respective first and second sides. Through a series of die cuts and lines of perforations, first, second, and intermediate panels may be defined on the label ply. An additional panel, one or more side panels, and a removable tab may also be provided. The liner ply remains adhered to portions of the label when folded and applied to a surface to facilitate removal of various panels of the label.
