Abstract
A label form having a release liner, a label ply having a pair of substantially parallel perforations spaced apart a selected distance, and a layer of adhesive between the release liner and the label ply. The adhesive is deadened in the area between the perforations, defining a spacing strip between two labels. Appliance information may be printed on such labels for application to an appliance. The label ply is removed from the release ply and then applied to a surface, with the spacing strip then removed so that the two labels on opposite sides of the strip are secured to the surface with a preselected distance therebetween. The labels may be made by perforating a label ply along a plurality of lines to define the spacing strip between adjacent perforated lines, applying adhesive to one side of one of the plies, deadening the adhesive applied to the spacing strip, and bringing the plies together with the adhesive therebetween.
