Appellants’ claimed invention is directed toward a method
for making a label which protects the image shown by the
label, and for applying the label to a substrate by use of the
label’s pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The method
includes cutting a transparent release liner, which is
releasably adhered to a transparent face stock by a
transparent adhesive, such that the release layer includes a
removable section and an image receiving section, and
inscribing reverse image indicia on the image receiving
section. The label is applied to the substrate by removing
the removable section of the release layer to expose adhesive,
and adhering the label to the substrate with the adhesive such
that the image receiving section of the release liner having
the indicia thereon abuts against the substrate. Appellants
state that the image is visible through the transparent
release liner, transparent adhesive and transparent face
stock, and is protected by the release liner and/or the face
