Abstract

A web of labels includes a face stock and a release liner. A top side adhesive layer extends on a top surface of the face stock and a top side release liner extends over the top side adhesive layer. The top side release liner includes at least one aperture exposing a corresponding portion of the top side adhesive layer. The face stock has a second adhesive layer on a bottom surface of the face stock. The release liner has a second release layer on a top surface thereof to protect the second adhesive layer, and a third release layer on a bottom surface of the release liner. The face stock is separated into a succession of labels carried on the release liner such that each label includes a portion of the top side release liner having at least one aperture.
