    (54) Adhesive laminate label array and method for making same


    (57) An array of pressure sensitive adhesive labels (10) and a process for manufacturing the same is disclosed. A carrier sheet (12) has a silicone release liner on a surface thereof and a plurality of windows (16) die-cut therein. Plastic sheets (14) are adhesively secured to the release coating over each of the windows. The windows may be printed upon, removed, and then replaced with the printed portion in contact with the adhesive. The plastic sheet may then be removed from the carrier and placed upon an article to be labeled. The array is also provided with feed holes (18) to accommodate use in a printer or the like. The array is manufactured by passing a pressure sensitive adhesive laminate through a pair of die-cutters (38), one of which cuts a clear plastic face stock and another of which cuts the carrier, the two cuts being in registration with each other. A matrix of the clear plastic material is subsequently removed.
