Abstract
A simple, inexpensive, and easy to construct label dispenser is provided for linerless labels. The dispenser is made from a rectangular strip of cardboard or paper board having four parallel fold lines defining the strip into first through fifth panels and with first and second openings in the first and fifth panels and a third opening in the third panel. The strip is folded about the fold lines to form an open ended rectangular parallelepiped with the first and fifth panels in face to face engagement. A plastic plug is inserted into the first and second openings, making a friction fit with them and holding the first and fifth panels together. A second plug is inserted into the third opening, and the plugs define a pivot axis for a roll of linerless labels. One of the labels is separated from the roll and the adhesive face of it is placed in engagement with the second panel outer face and parts of the fifth and third panels to facilitate holding of the blank in a rectangular parallelepiped configuration, while providing a non-stick tear-off surface for other labels in the roll mounted for rotation about an axis defined by the plugs.
