Heavy perforations through all three layers separate an inner
portion of the label from an outer portion (col. 2, lines 2-5;
figure 1). The label is attached to a surface by removing the
outer portion of the peelable layer to expose the underlying
adhesive, and pressing the exposed adhesive against the
surface such that the inner portion of the peelable layer
abuts against the surface (col. 2, lines 5-7; figures 1 and
4). The adhesive layer and the peelable layer preferably are
transparent so that indicia printed on the side of the backing
layer facing the adhesive layer is visible through the
peelable layer and the adhesive when the label is fastened to
an automobile windshield (col. 4, lines 5-12). To transfer
the label to a second surface, the inner portion of the label
is removed from the first surface, the peelable layer of the
inner portion is removed from the inner portion’s adhesive
layer, and the adhesive layer is pressed against the second
surface (col. 2, lines 8-15).
