Abstract

An adhesive label is configured to be wrapped around an apparatus and to outline a predetermined image having first and second components. A first facestock has opposite first and second edges that come into proximity with one another when the label is wrapped around the apparatus. The first edge includes first contours that outline the first component of the predetermined image, and the second edge includes second contours that outline the second component. A multilayer sheet assembly comprises the adhesive label, wherein the first facestock inner surface includes a lined portion that is covered by a release liner, and an unlined portion that is not covered by the release liner. The sheet assembly further comprises a second facestock that covers at least some of the unlined portion of the first facestock inner surface, and is adhered thereto using an adhesive.
