ABSTRACT:
A label assembly includes a backing of release material, a main label of label stock with adhesive substantially covering the bottom face of the main label, and first and second die cuts formed in the main label and backing respectively. The first die cut defines a secondary label within the main label, and the second die cut forms a first removable segment of the backing which overlaps the first die cut. The adhesive exerts a greater force on the first removable segment than does the rest of the backing so that when the main label is removed from the backing the first removable segment detaches from the backing and remains with the main and secondary labels. A tab integral with and extending outwardly from the secondary label is also exterior of the main label. When the main label is applied to a package, the secondary label does not stick to the package because of the presence of the first removable segment of the backing. After a signature or other acknowledgment is applied to the secondary label, the tab is grasped and the secondary label removed from the main label and package, and applied to another object, such as a piece of paper in a record book. A perforation line connects the tab to the secondary label so that it can be detached and discarded.
