A laminar label (7) which comprises a base label (4), which is attached to
a release web (3) by means of a glue layer (5) on top of which base label
a supplement (13) is applied, which is covered by a top label (11). The
base label with a matching release web is made of the same starting
material (40, 41) as the top label with a matching release web (9) and
the base label and the top label are brought together on the release web
(3) of the base label in a relative displaced position and with a special
treatment, e.g., a removal of portions through punching of said starting
material in order to form a base label and a top label, respectively.
Also a method and an apparatus for providing laminar labels (7), base
labels (4) being applied on a release web (3), supplements (13) being
positioned on top of the base labels and top labels (11) being positioned
in such a way that they overlap the supplements. A release web (40) with
labels (41) is used for two different functions as a starting material
for a release web (3) with base labels (4) and a release web (9) with top
labels (11) and the base labels and the top labels are brought together
on the release web (3) of the base labels in a relative displaced
position and with a special treatment, e.g., a removal of portions by
punching of said starting material in order to obtain base labels and top
labels, respectively.
