  • the label 12 includes a base label 16, a brochure 18 and a transparent overlayer 20. Seen in Figure 2 is an adhesive layer 22 by which the overlayer 20 is secured to the base label and the brochure 18 (and which, in turn, secures the brochure 18 to the base label 16) , and an adhesive layer 24 which releasably secures the base label 16 to the liner 14.
  • the brochure 18 in Figures 1 and 2 is a leaflet which has two leaves 26 and 28, separated by a fold line
  • top leaf 26 is wider than the bottom leaf 28, and thus extends further from the fold line 30 than does the bottom leaf 28.

  • the top surface of the overlayer 20 may be treated in a known manner (as by having on it a release agent) to facilitate release and to avoid co-adhesion failure.
  • a brochure blank assembly 40 is created by printing, cutting and folding.
  • the brochure blank assembly is prepared in full web width.
  • a base label is printed, also in full web width.
  • the base label is die cut from a base label web 42 and, excess is stripped to base label blanks, each blank ultimately providing, in the presently preferred form of the method, two base labels.
