Abstract

A self-adhesive label has discrete areas having differently patterned adhesive coverages. Thus, areas where permanent adhesion is desired have full or 100% coverage of a permanent adhesive whereas areas where lesser adhesion is desired have fine patterns with lesser percentages of coverage, such as 30% coverage of the same adhesive which would permit a resealable mode of operation. This type of label could be applied from backing tape to a cereal box, for example, to control operation of a dispensing flap or spout.
