Abstract
An informational article having a separation control material disposed on a portion of the surface of the article and an information receiving layer overlying at least a portion of the separation control material and a portion of the surface. The information receiving layer is adapted to receive information thereon. A transparent tape is adhesively bonded to the information receiving layer containing the information. The transparent tape is more strongly adhered to the information receiving layer than the information receiving layer is adhered to the separation control material. In this way, removal of the transparent tape from the article removes both (i) the information receiving layer and (ii) the information overlying the separation control material from the remainder of the information receiving layer and the information. Because of this, evidence of tampering is easily, visually, detectable. An associated method is also disclosed.
