Piggyback Labels

Designed to simplify processes where information needs to be applied initially to one item or document and then moved to another later on.

Our products > Labels > Piggyback Labels

Piggyback labels, also known as dual-layer or two-layer labels, are a unique type of label construction where one adhesive label is placed on top of another. They are essentially a "label on a label”.

A piggyback label is designed to simplify processes where information needs to be applied initially and then moved to another item or document later on. The two-layer label is first affixed to a surface such as a package, file, or document. When needed, the top layer can be peeled away and transferred to a new surface, leaving the base label behind on the original item.


Logistics and Shipping

A master label on a package contains all shipping information. A smaller, removable top label can be peeled off by the courier and applied to a manifest or delivery record.

Medical Records and Patient Tracking

A single label is printed for a patient's chart. Smaller, individual piggyback labels on top can be peeled off and applied to each blood sample or specimen tube to ensure accurate tracking.

Inventory and Asset Management

An item is labelled with a piggyback tag. As the item moves through different stages of a process, a label can be peeled off and applied to a form, creating a physical record of its movement.
