  • High strength, flexible, foldable printable sheet technique
    Patent number: 6136130
    Abstract: A high strength, flexible, foldable and printable sheet, such as a label sheet or cardstock, is provided with a line of weakness. The sheet has maximum dimensions greater than that of a box into which the sheet is to be located, and is therefore folded flat to fit into the box. The sheet is later removed, and may be printed in a laser or ink jet printer or copier. The sheet is formed to have a tensile strength of at least 4.5 or 5.0 or more kilograms, across the line of weakness, so that it will reliably feed through an office type printer or copier.

  • Transparent paper label sheets
    Patent number: 5407718
    Abstract: A label sheet assembly for transparent paper labels has a substantially transparent paper label sheet with a substantially transparent, pressure sensitive adhesive coating. Labels are die cut out of the paper label sheet. The paper label sheet is mounted on a backing sheet, which has a release coating to allow removal of the labels. The pressure sensitive adhesive may be stable in the presence of temperatures up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit so that the labels may be printed in a laser printer. The label sheet assembly may be printed in its entirety by an ink jet printer or xerographic printer with a resulting high print quality. A method for printing transparent label sheet assemblies comprises forming double thickness label sheet assemblies, creating a paper supply, feeding label sheet assemblies from the paper supply through xerographic and ink jet printers, removing labels from a backing sheet, and applying the labels to products to be labeled.
