Claim:
A method of making a container label comprising the steps of: providing a web of paper stock from a paper stock roll; feeding the paper stock to at least one print head for printing marking indicia within a first printed area on a paper stock top surface; applying a release layer to a paper stock top surface except within areas defined by a series of elongate perimeter zones spaced along a perimeter of the first printed area; providing a web of label stock from a label stock roll, the web of label stock comprising a peel-off liner and a substrate having a substrate bottom surface coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive and attached to the peel-off liner; removing the peel-off liner from the label stock; laminating the substrate onto the paper stock such that the substrate bottom surface contacts the paper stock top surface to form a label assembly; feeding the label assembly to at least one print head for printing marking indicia within a second printed area on the substrate top surface, the second printed area being of smaller size than the first printed area; cutting through the substrate to form a piggyback panel, a series of elongate perimeter tabs and a remainder portion, the piggyback panel being sized complimentary to and aligned with the second printed area, the series of elongate perimeter tabs being sized complimentary to and aligned with the elongate perimeter zones; removing the remainder portion leaving the piggyback panel releaseably bonded to the base panel and the perimeter tabs permanently bonded to the base panel; and cutting through the paper stock to define a base panel encompassing the perimeter tabs and the piggyback panel.
