1. A method of constructing bedding tags using laser compatible and printable uniform material stock substrate sheets, automatic sewing machine sewability, press printability, and perfability, comprising the steps of:
- (a) impregnating the substrate sheets with a tear resistant saturant such that the impregnated sheets have sufficient tear resistance to comply with requirements for a law tag on an upholstered furnishing;
(b) imaging first indicia with heat resistant ink on the stock including law tag indicia;
(c) automatically perting the stock to form at least first and second portions separated by a first perf line, the first portion including said law tag indicia;
(d) laser printing variable indicia on each stock sheet, including contents indicia on the first portion;

Abstract
A law tag for mattresses or other bedding is made from a substrate of laser compatible and printable uniform material stock having sufficient tear resistance to comply with requirements for a law tag on bedding, automatic sewing machine sewability, press printability, and perfability. Law tag indicia is printed on the substrate with heat resistant ink, dried, subjected to static elimination, and then perfed, cut into sheets, and sent to a customer to be laser printed. Contents indicia laser printing is applied to the substrate at the customer'"'"'s facilities. The sheets are torn along the perfs, bar codes on work tabs separated from the sheets are scanned, and the law tags are sewed to mattresses.
