  • Patent number: 6730383
    Abstract: Described are label sheets of pressure sensitive labels which are useful for duplex printing applications. The labels are provided with ties to secure them in order to lessen the adverse effects of delamination and leakage of adhesive into the printer parts. They are particularly useful for avoiding these disadvantages during duplex printing which subjects the label sheet to additional manipulation and treatment, such as two heated toner fusion steps, in contrast to simplex printing. Also described are methods of duplex printing using such label sheets.

  • Patent number: 6510980
    Abstract: A business mailer includes a face sheet having a strip of adhesive bonded to one side thereof along a corresponding edge. A liner is bonded to the face sheet atop the adhesive strip, and is severed around a central strip tab for being removed from a surrounding border of the liner for exposing the adhesive strip. This integrated construction may be printed at high speed following which the liner tab is removed and the face sheet folded to form an adhesively sealed business mailer.
