  • Patent number: 5403025
    Abstract: Personnel of vehicle and equipment service organizations, at the start, during, and completion, of the services, use a partially preprinted service invoice record form, having a piggyback vinyl static cling customer service information label secured to it, to completely machine print all the added service information, inclusive of machine print entered on this piggyback vinyl static cling customer service information label, which is later peeled away and then placed, for example, on the windshield of a vehicle. The overall manufacturing operations, to produce this product for service organizations, commence with a manufacturing process to create a source, preferably a roll source, of a three lamination stock of material. The resulting laminations are: an eight millimeter layer of vinyl static cling material; laminated on top of a two millimeter layer of polyester material, which has an adhesive coating on its opposing side to its side which is receiving the vinyl static cling material lamination.

  • Patent number: 5183436
    Abstract: Manufacturing lines are operated to produce continuously attached membership card mailers, which may be fan folded, and then packaged by a manufacturer, for delivery to an organization. The staff of the organization thereafter, upon demand, complete the entry of information on the continuously attached membership card mailers, then separate them, and thereafter deliver them to respective members. The members in turn remove the inner portion of the paper overlay area of the membership card mailer, along its perforations, exposing their respective membership cards which are then separated from their parent PVC stock by completing the separation previously started by microperforations around the periphery of the membership card.
