Unique label construction applied to a business form
First Claim
1. In combination with a business form, a removable label construction comprising:
- a label provided with upper and lower surfaces, said lower surface provided with an adhesive;
a multi-layer substrate supporting said label and removably mounting said label on the business form, said substrate including means permitting removal of said label from the business form in a first mode wherein said adhesive on said lower label surface is not exposed, and in a second mode wherein said adhesive on said lower label surface is exposed.

Abstract
A label construction and method are provided wherein a label ply and associated adhesive layer are releasably secured to a multi-ply substrate comprising an upper layer with a top surface provided with a release liner and a bottom surface provided with a temporary adhesive. The lower substrate layer has a plain paper top surface and an adhesive bottom surface. The multiple substrate and label ply are releasably mounted to a temporary carrier web or, in later stages of use, to a business form or the like. The user may remove the label and upper substrate ply from the lower substrate ply and carrier web (or form) for later use, with the upper substrate layer providing protection for the adhesive layer on the label ply. When ready for use, the label and upper substrate ply may be separated with the aid of a slit provided in the label adjacent one of its marginal edges.
