Foldform label laminate

Abstract

A foldform label laminate includes a web having first and second bands laminated together along a longitudinal running axis by complementary patterns of release and adhesive disposed therebetween. The patterns of release and adhesive repeat along the running axis to define a series of repeating laminated sheets. The second band has a corresponding label disposed in each of the sheets. Each of the labels is removable from atop the first band, with the adhesive remaining on the label, and the release remaining on the first band.
