Abstract
A label having an EAS device or an RFID device associated therewith has a first face with human readable indicia on it and a second face with pressure sensitive repositional adhesive. The pressure sensitive repositional adhesive is pressed onto an exterior surface of a package which holds the label to the package. The package is then shipped to a destination indicated at least in part by the label, and at the destination the label is removed simply by detaching it by pulling it off, the repositional adhesive readily releasing from the package. The package then may be reused with a single label with either conventional construction or like the first label. Preferably the repositional adhesive is part of a piece of double sided adhesive tape, the second face either having permanent adhesive or repositional adhesive if the tape is to be removed from the body of the label and the RFID or EAS device of the label reused.
