Abstract
A web of removable carrier labels, each having a self-adhering removable piggyback label, has a top label layer, a bottom support layer and an intermediate liner layer. The label layer has a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated surface and is die cut at the perimeters of each carrier label and the piggyback label within it. The liner layer has a release surface facing the pressure-sensitive adhesive coated surface of the label layer and is die cut about a perimeter geometrically similar to, and in registration with, the piggyback label die cut. The support layer is thereafter permanently adhered to the liner layer except at the die cut portion of the liner. The carrier label, piggyback label and die cut portion of the liner can be removed from the support web as a unit and adhered to a product such as a subscription piece or other substrate. The piggyback label can, thereafter, be peeled away from the carrier label and the underlying die cut liner portion and adhered to another surface.
