Abstract
A versatile label preparation method includes preparing double thickness label sheet assemblies. Each sheet assembly has a divisible backing sheet and a divisible label sheet. The label sheet is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive and is mounted on the backing sheet. The label sheet assembly is divided into a plurality of sections by lines of microperforations extending through both the label sheet and the backing sheet. Each of the sections has a plurality of die cut labels thereon. The die cuts extend through the label sheet but not through the backing sheet. Each of said sections of the label sheet assembly have a line of flexibility along one edge thereof for facilitating feeding through a laser printer. A user divides the sheet into sections, with each section including at least one label on the backing sheet. The user adjusts the feeding mechanism on a laser printer to the width of the section sheets of labels and prints the labels on the sections of the label sheet assembly. A method for printing cards includes forming and printing a sheet of card stock which is divided into subsections by lines of microperforations. Each subsection includes a closed pattern of microperforations defining a removable card.
