Abstract: A record pad is provided having a paper top sheet with top and bottom faces and an underlying record bottom sheet with a transfer medium between them. The top sheet has an upper margin and a pattern (such as a substantially continuous strip) of repositional adhesive is provided on each top sheet bottom face adjacent the upper margin and substantially parallel to the upper margin. This provides a record pad construction which is more user friendly particularly for left handed writers, and makes it simpler to attach a top sheet—once removed from the pad—to another sheet or object. Preferably the top sheet is segmented into three different portions by through cut lines (or perforations or other lines of weakness), and along a securing edge of the top sheet another through cut line is provided, substantially perpendicular to the upper margin. The repositional adhesive strips are spaced from the upper margin or lines of weakness about 1—5 mm (e.g. about 2 mm).

Abstract: A record pad is provided having upper and lower margins and side margins for a plurality of sheet sets. Each set includes a paper top sheet and at least one underlying record bottom sheet with a transfer mechanism (such as carbonless coatings) for transferring indicia imaged on the top sheet to an underlying record sheet. A securing edge margin of each sheet set is provided at the first side margin, with a pattern (such as a continuous strip) of repositional adhesive provided adjacent the securing edge margin and substantially parallel to the first side margin, but spaced from the securing edge margin so as to minimize the amount of adhesive utilized, and to maximize the ease of removability of the top sheet from the pad.
