Claims (17)

1. A label comprising:

a substrate comprising paper, the substrate having display information on a top surface of the substrate;

a first adhesive layer having a top surface contacting a bottom surface of the substrate;

a first lamination material layer having a top surface contacting a bottom surface of the first adhesive layer, the first lamination material layer being adhesively affixed to the bottom surface of the substrate via the first adhesive layer;

a second adhesive layer having a bottom surface contacting the top surface of the substrate;

a second lamination material layer having a bottom surface contacting the top surface of the second adhesive layer, the second lamination material layer being adhesively affixed to the top surface of the substrate via the second adhesive layer, the second lamination material layer having a gauge thickness of 92 or 102; and

a release coating comprising silicone, the release coating having a bottom surface contacting a top surface of the second lamination material and covering the entire top surface of the second lamination material;

an adhesive strip including a third adhesive layer, a polyester film, and a fourth adhesive layer, a top surface of the third adhesive layer contacting a bottom surface of the first lamination material layer, a top surface of the polyester film contacting a bottom surface of the third adhesive layer, a top surface of the fourth adhesive layer contacting a bottom surface of the polyester film, the adhesive strip having a width ranging from 5/8 inch to 1 inch from a first end of the adhesive strip to a second end of the adhesive strip, the width of the adhesive strip being less than a width of the first lamination material layer, the first end of the adhesive strip being about 1/8 inch from a plane defined by an edge of the first lamination material layer and the second end of the adhesive strip being farther from the plane than the first end of the adhesive strip; and

a relief perforation configured to maintain the substrate in a substantially planar shape, the adhesive strip covering the relief perforation to reinforce the relief perforation.

2. A label comprising:

a substrate comprising paper, the substrate having display information on a top surface of the substrate;

a first adhesive layer having a top surface contacting a bottom surface of the substrate;

a first lamination material layer having a top surface contacting a bottom surface of the first adhesive layer, the first lamination material layer being adhesively affixed to the bottom surface of the substrate via the first adhesive layer;

a second adhesive layer having a bottom surface contacting the top surface of the substrate;

a second lamination material layer having a bottom surface contacting the top surface of the second adhesive layer, the second lamination material layer being adhesively affixed to the top surface of the substrate via the second adhesive layer, the second lamination material layer having a gauge thickness of 92 or 102;

a release coating comprising silicone, the release coating having a bottom surface contacting a top surface of the second lamination material and covering the entire top surface of the second lamination material; and

an adhesive strip including a third adhesive layer, a polyester film, and a fourth adhesive layer, a top surface of the third adhesive layer contacting a bottom surface of the first lamination material layer, a top surface of the polyester film contacting a bottom surface of the third adhesive layer, a top surface of the fourth adhesive layer contacting a bottom surface of the polyester film, the adhesive strip having a width ranging from 5/8 inch to 1 inch from a first end of the adhesive strip to a second end of the adhesive strip, the width of the adhesive strip being less than a width of the first lamination material layer, the first end of the adhesive strip being about 1/8 inch from a plane defined by an edge of the first lamination material layer and the second end of the adhesive strip being farther from the plane than the first end of the adhesive strip.
