Abstract

A method of converting on a single line printing press, two webs of material into individual rolls of ribbons of dual-layered, peelably-bonded-together lids. One layer of each lid has dispensing holes formed therein, or otherwise is cut through to form plugs, and the other layer of each label is printed with selected indicia and/or logos. The resultant product is wound in multiple layers of ribbons, or so-called, "daisy chains" of dual-layered lids around cardboard cores ready for shipment to processors of food particles, such as salt or cheese, to be secured as individual covers on cup-like containers.
