Abstract

A single piece tag includes a substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface. A first reactant is applied to the first surface. A first portion of the first reactant is covered by a first release liner. A second reactant is applied to the first release liner which separates the second reactant from the first reactant. A second release liner adjacent the first release liner covers a second portion of the first reactant. The tag is activated by removing the second release liner from the tag to expose the second portion of the adhesive, and the substrate is folded onto itself to contact the second reactant on the first release liner with the first reactant.
