Abstract
A stack of cut sheet linerless labels is provided. Each label substrate (e.g., paper) having first and second faces, with pressure sensitive adhesive (e.g., repositional adhesive) substantially completely covering the first face, and a release coat (e.g., silicone) substantially completely covering the second face. Adhesive and release coat are selected so that the adhesive force between them is 0.001-1.2 ounces per inch pursuant to a standard test. The labels are disposed in the stack with the pressure sensitive adhesive of each label engaging the release coat of the label below it. A tie coat may be provided between the adhesive and the substrate to enhance adherence between them, and a thermosensitive layer may be provided on the substrate second face beneath the release coat. An adhesive uncoated strip may be provided adjacent an edge of each label to facilitate removal from a stack.
