Abstract:

A combination shipping and packing list label includes a face stock having a front face and a back face. The front face has an exposed, printable, generally planar surface. The printable surface is divided into a first printable are a and a second printable area separated from one another by a common edge along one side thereof. The face stock has a border area substantially surrounding at least three sides of the first printable area. An adhesive layer is disposed on at least a portion of the back face of the face stock for allowing the face stock to be adhesively applied to any desired supporting surface. A backing layer includes a carrier strip with a non-stick surface. The backing layer removably covers the adhesive layer connected to the back face of the face stock. The face stock is removable from a portion of the backing layer so that a first section of the backing layer covering the border area is left behind as a waste portion of the carrier strip to expose the adhesive layer for attaching the combination label to the supporting surface. A removable portion of the backing layer remains attached to the first printable area and second printable area of the combination label during folding and attachment to the supporting surface.
