Abstract

Tamper indicating label having strong protective film applied to a relatively fragile base film having adhesive on the opposite side. Sets of indicia and masking layers are printed on the label base with inks of differing adhesivity and overlain by a layer of clear polymeric material such as an ink residue having relatively low adhesivity to the label base but good adhesivity to the masking layers.
