Abstract
An adhesive label including inner and outer sheets arranged in overlying relation with a multi-page leaflet arranged therebetween. The inner and outer sheets are generally laterally aligned relative to each other along respective first side edges and are adhered to each other along an end region extending laterally inward from the laterally aligned edges of the sheets. The multi-page leaflet is arranged in a folded configuration between the sheets with one folded edge of the leaflet being generally laterally aligned with the second side edge of the inner sheet and the other folded edge of the leaflet being laterally spaced inwardly from the laterally aligned first edges of the sheets. The outer sheet extends over and laterally beyond the second edge of the inner sheet past the folded edge of the leaflet. An off-center tearing line of weakness is arranged on the outer sheet adjacent to the leaflet to allow the label to be torn open and provide access to the leaflet. Preferably, a second line of tearing weakness is provided on the outer sheet to define a tear strip. A releasable medium is provided on the inner sheet beneath the tear strip to facilitate opening of the label and to inhibit damage thereto. The present invention further discloses a method of making such labels.
