Label sheets are formed from a continuous web of laminated stock material comprising
a face stock layer and a liner layer secured together by an adhesive layer. The
stock material is delaminated and an adhesive deactivating material is applied
to the adhesive layer in longitudinal strips to create active and inactive adhesive
portions. Label sheets are formed by cutting the web of stock material transversely.
Individual labels are formed on the label sheets by kiss-cutting the face stock
layer. Each individual label includes an attachment end with active adhesive and
a free/unattached end with inactive adhesive. A method of manufacturing partially-secured
labels includes the steps of delaminating a stock material, deactivating strips
of an adhesive layer, and relaminating the stock material. The method also includes
the steps of cutting the stock material into individual label sheets and kiss-cutting
the label sheets to form individual, partially-secured labels.
