Abstract
A RFID label capable of multiple uses. Multiple layers allow the label to be removed from an object by separation of adhesive which cohesively fails and then, re-application of the label to a new object by revealing a new pressure sensitive adhesive layer. Similarly, printable face sheets may be removed for multiple printings or the face sheet arranged in a manner which allows distinct regions to be printed in sequence with the previous region being overprinted. To allow passage through a printer after removal, separable liners are included so that the pressure sensitive adhesive layer is not exposed until immediately prior to re-affixation to the desired object.
