Abstract: A multilayer composite comprises a printable facestock with a carrier sheet separably laminated directly to its top surface. The facestock is a dimensionally unstable and/or low flexural stiffness transparent film having a thickness not greater than about 4.0 mils. In subsequent processing, graphics are printed on the bottom surface of the facestock followed by the application of pressure sensitive adhesive and a release liner. The liner is removable, allowing the composite to be adhered to a substrate, with the graphics remaining beneath and protected by the facestock. The carrier sheet is separable from the top surface of the facestock, either before or following removal of the release liner.

Abstract: A release liner for use with face stocks for pressure sensitive labels, tapes, decals and other products formed from sheet and roll stock. A filled polymer is laminated to one side of a paper web. An extrudate is laminated to the other side of the paper substrate to form a release liner. The filled polymer has paper-like properties and replaces paper tissue back liners.
