Claim 9

A removable coupon label structure comprising (a) a casting substrate; (b) a thermoplastic resin film attached to the casting substrate by means comprising London or dispersion forces to form a composite web; and (c) an adhesive situated on the resin film side of the composite web opposite the casting substrate, whereby the composite web is suitable for mounting on a backing substance and the casting substrate may be separated from the resin film at a release force of about 10 to about 100 grams per inch width.

Claim 10

A removable coupon label structure comprising (a) a casting substrate; (b) a thermoplastic resin film attached to the casting substrate by means comprising London or dispersion forces to form a composite web; and (c) an adhesive situated on the resin film side of the composite web opposite the casting substrate, whereby the composite web is suitable for mounting on a backing substance and the casting substrate may be separated from the resin film at a release force of about 10 to about 100 grams per inch width.

Claim 11

The removable coupon label structure according to claim 8, wherein the casting substrate is chosen from the group consisting of paper and polyester and the resin film is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyurethane, polyacrylate, polycarbonate and surlyn.

The removable coupon label structure according to claim 8, wherein the release force is between about 20 to about 60 grams per inch width.

Claim 13

The removable coupon label structure according to claim 8, wherein the resin film is extruded onto the casting substrate.

Claim 14

The removable coupon label structure according to claim 8, wherein the resin film is a solid which is laminated to the casting substrate.

Claim 15

The removable coupon label structure according to claim 8, wherein the resin film is transparent such that once the casting substrate is removed, a message contained on the backing substrate is evident.

Claim 16

The removable coupon label structure according to claim 8, wherein a message is back printed on the resin film side of the composite web prior to the application of the adhesive.

Claim 17

A process for the preparation of a removable coupon label which comprises: (a) providing a casting substrate; (b) attaching a thermoplastic resin film onto one side of said casting substrate to form a composite web by means comprising attraction forces between the resin film and casting substrate under conditions that permit the separation of the casting substrate from the resin film upon the application of a release force; (c) applying an adhesive to the resin film side of the composite web opposite the casting substrate; and (d) applying the adhesive coated composite web to a backing sheet or package whereby the casting substrate may be separated from the resin film upon application of the release force.

Claim 18

A process for the preparation of a removable coupon label which comprises: (a) providing a casting substrate; (b) attaching a thermoplastic resin film onto one side of said casting substrate to form a composite web by means comprising attraction forces between the resin film and casting substrate under conditions that permit the separation of the casting substrate from the resin film upon the application of a release force; (c) applying an adhesive to the resin film side of the composite web opposite the casting substrate; and (d) applying the adhesive coated composite web to a backing sheet or package whereby the casting substrate may be separated from the resin film upon application of the release force.
