Abstract

The combined form and label construction has a label portion with a glue frame on the back side for securement to a shipping container. A form portion is secured to the label portion for processing through a laser printer or the like to receive information. In one embodiment, the form portion is removable from the label portion to permit the label portion to be secured along three lines of glue to a shipping carton to form a pocket therewith. The form portion is then folded and inserted into the pocket and the remainder of the label portion is then secured to the shipping carton to seal the pocket. In the embodiments, the form portion is folded under the label portion within the glue frame prior to securement of the label portion to a container. A tear strip in the label portion allows for opening of the pocket to permit removal of the form portion.
