METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING A LABEL OR LAMINATE SHEET TO A SUBSTRATE

A sheet assembly and method is provided for applying a facestock layer to a substrate. The facestock layer may include a facestock bridge portion with an adhesive layer. A liner sheet is attached to the facestock layer and may include a strip portion having a first dimension that is configured to be removed to expose a portion of the adhesive layer under the facestock bridge portion. The sheet assembly is positioned as desired and the facestock bridge portion is adhered to the substrate to anchor the sheet assembly to the substrate and allow the remaining liner sheet to be removed in a generally aligned manner as desired. The facestock layer may be made of a see-through material. The facestock layer may be a label. The sheet assembly may include at least one perforation line that divides the sheet assembly into multiple sections.
