1. A method of applying labels on a store shelf comprising:

  • obtaining a pad of labels comprising a plurality of stacked labels,wherein each label comprises;

    a substrate having display information printed on a top surface thereof, wherein the printing of the display information on the top surface and an order of the labels in the stack is controlled in accordance with a planogram of a store associated with the store shelf;

    an adhesive strip applied to a bottom surface of each label;

    a relief perforation formed in the substrate that relieves a tendency for the substrate to return to a rolled form, wherein the adhesive strip is applied over the relief perforation and reinforces each label to prevent tearing along the relief perforation; and

    a release coating applied to the top surface of each label;

    peeling a label from the pad of labels; and

    affixing the label to a shelf;

    wherein, before peeling, the adhesive strip of one label of the plurality of stacked labels is removably affixed to the release coating of an adjacent label of the plurality of stacked labels.
