A business form (10) uses a dual label construction to advantage, particularly in association with express delivery forms. A first sheet of paper (11) has a first face (12) with indicia (13, 14, 15) and a second face with a first pressure sensitive adhesive system. A second sheet (21), substantially the same size and shape as the first sheet (11), has a first face, and a second face with a second pressure sensitive adhesive systems. The adhesive systems preferably are alternating strips of pressure sensitive adhesive and release material, with small gaps between them, so that when the second faces are placed in face-to-face engagement with each other they will separate, providing adhesive on each of the second faces. The second sheet (21) may be a substantially transparent plastic such as polyester, which may be placed over the first sheet (11), to protect it, after the first sheet (11) has been adhered to a surface (e.g. a package for express delivery). The adhesive systems may be UV or corona treated to cure the release material strips and modify the tackiness of the adhesive. Alternatively, the second sheet (21) first face also has indicia on it, and a number of perforations separating it into individual labels, e.g., each with bar coding. The first sheet (11) first face (12) may have a carbonless coating, and a third, and additional, sheets with cooperating carbonless coatings may be provided operatively connected over the first sheet (11). |
