Abstract

There is disclosed a composite label web and method of labeling. The composite label web has a flexible, longitudinally extending carrier web with cuts to provide feed registration, flexible labels carried on the carrier web, non-tacky adhesive releasably adhering the labels at their undersides to the carrier web, a longitudinally extending line of weakening spaced between side edges of the labels and dividing the labels into detachably connected first and second label parts, pressure sensitive adhesive on the outer sides of the first label parts, and flexible masking material adhered to and masking off the pressure sensitive adhesive on the first label parts. The disclosed method can be practiced using a hand-held labeler which effects printing on the second label parts, effects separation of the labels from the carrier web at its delaminator and dispenses the labels. When the masking material is removed, the first label part can be adhered to the underside of a marginal side edge of a tag.
