Patent number: 6409871Abstract: A business form includes a carrier sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, and defining a die cut opening there through, with a patch of liner material mounted on the lower surface of the carrier sheet. The patch extends over the opening. The liner material has an upper surface facing the die cut opening in the carrier sheet, and carries a release coating on the upper surface. A two ply label assembly is mounted on the patch of liner material in the die cut opening. The two ply label assembly includes a transparent ply mounted on the upper surface of the patch of liner material, and a label ply mounted on the transparent ply. The form is manufactured by: a.) die cutting an opening in a piece of carrier material; b.) adhesively affixing a patch of liner material to the piece of carrier material; c.) mounting a transparent ply on the patch of liner material within the die cut opening; and d.) mounting a label ply on the transparent ply.

Patent number: 6143120Abstract: A cellulosic substrate which is suitable for use as a mailer or envelope and which has at least one transparentized portion is provided. A method of transparentizing a cellulosic substrate by the application of a transparentizing material which provides enhanced toner adhesion properties, fast penetration rates and which is cured by exposure to radiation is also provided. The addition of small amounts of water to the transparentizing material enhances penetration rates. Further, these transparentizing materials may be applied without the need for solvents. These features thus permit continuous, in-line transparentization.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1998Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: The Standard Register CompanyInventors: Rajendra Mehta, Hugh B.

Patent number: 4940690Abstract: The present invention provides a laminate construction including a backing sheet, which may be in the form of a continuous web, and a face sheet covering at least a portion of the backing sheet. A releasable adhesive secures a first or lower surface of the face sheet to a first or upper surface of the backing sheet such that the face sheet and backing sheet are readily separable. The releasable adhesive contains therein a first composition which, when subjected to an imaging force, forms a latent image on both of the first surfaces of the face and backing sheets. This latent image may be developed at a later time by contacting the image with a second composition which, when exposed to the first composition, forms a visible image. In the laminate, the face sheet may be imprinted with legible and/or covert information. The covert information may be duplicated on the underside of the face sheet or on one or more intermediate sheets as well as a backing sheet.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1988Date of Patent: July 10, 1990Assignee: The Standard Register CompanyInventor: Hugh B.

Patent number: 4360548Abstract: A hidden image, which can be made detectable by rubbing, is produced by applying to a substrate surface a first ink-like material in image configuration, then applying a second ink-like material to cover the image and an area surrounding the image. Each of the first and second ink-like materials contain one of a color-forming pair of reactants which are colorless or light colored in their unreacted states, but which together produce a colored product when brought into reactive contact. Separation of the two reactants is assured by encapsulating at least one of the reactant pair. Reactive contact is caused by rubbing the printed area or otherwise applying sufficient pressure to rupture the capsules, releasing one of the reactants into intimate contact with the other reactant.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1980Date of Patent: November 23, 1982Assignee: The Standard Register CompanyInventors: Hugh B. Skees, Frank V. Parenti
