Abstract
A business form includes a carrier sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, and defining a die cut opening there through, with a patch of liner material mounted on the lower surface of the carrier sheet. The patch extends over the opening. The liner material has an upper surface facing the die cut opening in the carrier sheet, and carries a release coating on the upper surface. A two ply label assembly is mounted on the patch of liner material in the die cut opening. The two ply label assembly includes a transparent ply mounted on the upper surface of the patch of liner material, and a label ply mounted on the transparent ply. The form is manufactured by: a.) die cutting an opening in a piece of carrier material; b.) adhesively affixing a patch of liner material to the piece of carrier material; c.) mounting a transparent ply on the patch of liner material within the die cut opening; and d.) mounting a label ply on the transparent ply. The form is used by: a.) removing the label ply from the transparent ply; b.) adhesively securing the label ply to the label support surface; c.) removing the transparent ply from the patch of liner material; and d.) adhesively securing the transparent ply to the label ply and to the label support surface, such that the transparent ply completely covers the label ply, thereby protecting the label ply while permitting the indicia to be viewed.
