Extending Label Footprints

According to Hulton, single-level extended text labels can be created by printing the facestock, removing it from the liner, printing on the adhesive, and then deadening the printed portion of the adhesive. The facestock is then re-laminated to the liner, diecut, scored, and perforated to form tear strips or pull tabs. Multiple webs can be fused with fugitive glue for a dry coupon or with pressure-sensitive adhesive for a re-sealable construction. The secondary web is often folded once or multiple times to provide even more text or graphic area.
