Abstract
A label assembly improving the releasability of individual labels from a carrier sheet. The labels are spaced along the length of the carrier sheet in a longitudinal direction. An adhesive temporarily retains the labels on the carrier sheet. A transverse leading edge of each label is adhesive-free. Benefits include a) reduced adhesion of the labels to the carrier sheet during die-cutting of the labels and b) improved releasability of the labels from the carrier sheet during label application.
