Abstract
Abstract A label is disclosed having pressure-sensitive adhesive thereon for application to the clear band of a document to be processed through a sorter/reader. The label is multi-layered having a tissue paper surface for receiving magnetic ink thereon and includes a heat-laminated, low density polyethylene layer beneath the tissue forming a bond with a layer of rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC). A pressure-sensitive adhesive is secured to the PVC layer with well known electrostatic adhesion techniques.
