<p>The present invention is a multi-layer label which includes a base (14), a piece (20) and an overlaminate (24). Adhesive is applied to the base in parallel strips (18) and the piece is placed on top of the base between the strips of adhesive. The overlaminate (24) is then placed on top of the piece and the base layer. The overlaminate has no adhesive of its own and is held in place only by the adhesive strips (18). The overlaminate thereby sandwiches the piece in place. By utilizing the method of the present invention, the label may be formed so that the overlaminate contains excess portions which allow the overlaminate to expand when the label is applied to a curved product. By including this excess material, the label is able to be placed onto a curved product without binding any of the associated layers.</p> |
