  • Publication number: 20110072694
    Abstract: A card-type memorabilia article including a photographic print paper intermediate layer, a urethane top layer, and an ink-receptive laminate. The intermediate layer defines opposing, first and second major surfaces, and displays a photographic image on the first major surface. The urethane top layer is applied over the first major surface. The ink-receptive laminate is applied over the second major surface, with the laminate defining an outer face. The ink-receptive coating protects ink that is written onto the outer face from smudging and smearing.

  • Patent number: 7908778
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a system of labels located on wrapping and containers for individual food items. Each label contains an alphanumeric and/or graphic design that instantly brings to mind of restaurant personnel and to an unsophisticated customer (i.e., someone with no knowledge of the English language, children, or adults with limited education) the food item to be wrapped with the wrapping or container. In a preferred embodiment, a graphic device occupies a majority of the surface of the label, where the graphic device is a drawing or photograph of the food item to be wrapped or contained. For instance, a label for a double cheeseburger would include a picture with the food item disassembled sufficiently so that a viewer could instantly appreciate the presence of two hamburger patties and two slices of cheese with the typical bun in the presence of the wrapper in the background.
