Compact disc label construction

Abstract

A facestock releasably adhered to a liner sheet is die cut to form one or two compact disc labels ( 820 ), and two diametrically opposed tabs ( 840 or 844 ) on each compact disc label ( 820 ) and located so that one edge of the tab ( 840 or 844 ) is in contact with one of the compact disc labels ( 820 ) and is perforated ( 830 or 834 ). The liner side of the tab ( 840 or 844 ) also has a die cut patterned so that it generally follows the outline of the tab ( 840 or 844 ), but which forms a shape which is inside of and slightly smaller than the face cut tab pattern. After the label sheet has passed through a printer or copier and the desired indicia has been printed on the labels ( 820 ), at least one of the tabs ( 840 or 844 ) is pushed through from the reverse side of the sheet ( 800 ), or pulled through via a sheet opening partially separating the tab ( 840 or 844 ) from the rest of the sheet ( 800 ).
