Business forms having labels (34) integral with the sheets thereof (rather than riding piggyback thereon) are produced by applying a strip (29) of transfer tape (19) to only a portion of the second face (13) of a sheet (11), with the adhesive (22) of the transfer tape contacting the sheet, so that sheet material surrounds the transfer tape strip completely. Then a label (34) is die cut from the first face (12) of the sheet, preferably after the transfer tape is applied, within the area of the sheet overlying the transfer tape strip, without cutting the transfer tape backing (21). Indicia (39, 40) is at some point printed on the first face of the sheet. The label (34) may be readily removed, with the adhesive (22) from the transfer tape sticking to the label while the backing (21) of the transfer tape remains in place. The strip of transfer tape is cut from a web (19), and then is transported with the adhesive face outward by a vacuum cylinder (27), until it moves into contact with a moving web (11). The web is ultimately formed into individual business forms (49), which may be multi-ply. <IMAGE> |
