Abstract

A method of applying labels to a store shelf in a retail environment. The method includes applying labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store'"'"'s planogram.

Claims

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

obtaining a pad of labels,

wherein each label comprises;

a substrate having display information printed on a top surface thereof;

an adhesive strip applied to a bottom surface of the label; and

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

peeling a label from the pad of labels;

affixing the label to a shelf;

wherein, before peeling, the adhesive strip is removably affixed to the release coating; and

wherein the labels in the pad are sequenced according to as retail store'"'"'s planogram.
