Abstract: A record pad is provided having a paper top sheet with top and bottom faces and an underlying record bottom sheet with a transfer medium between them. The top sheet has an upper margin and a pattern (such as a substantially continuous strip) of repositional adhesive is provided on each top sheet bottom face adjacent the upper margin and substantially parallel to the upper margin. This provides a record pad construction which is more user friendly particularly for left handed writers, and makes it simpler to attach a top sheet—once removed from the pad—to another sheet or object. Preferably the top sheet is segmented into three different portions by through cut lines (or perforations or other lines of weakness), and along a securing edge of the top sheet another through cut line is provided, substantially perpendicular to the upper margin. The repositional adhesive strips are spaced from the upper margin or lines of weakness about 1—5 mm (e.g. about 2 mm).

Abstract: A form/label combination provides a label and multiple receipts which may be simply constructed from two continuous sheets of paper in one pass through only a coater and a label press. The first sheet of the form/label combination provides an adhesive label on the left side, and a receipt on the right. The label is releasably attached to the left side of the second sheet, while the receipt is detachably attached to the right side of the second sheet. An image-transfer mechanism is provided between the two sheets so that images impressed on the first sheet are transferred to the second sheet. A method for manufacturing such a form/label combination is also simple and easy to practice.

Abstract: A record book or pad and a method of manufacturing such a book or pad has a stack of sheets in sets A. Each set A consists of a primary sheet P disposed between secondary sheets OS and US. Both faces of the sheet P are provided with a reactive coating 4 of duplicating material and each face of the secondary sheets OS and US which opposes the primary sheet P in the set is provided with reactive coatings 5 of duplicating material. When a marking is applied to the sheet OS for recording a message, pressure from that marking transfers through the sheet OS causing the coatings 4 and 5 between the sheets OS and P to inter-react and form a duplicate marking on a one face of the sheet P. Similarly when a marking is applied to the secondary sheet US, pressure from that marking transfers through the sheet US causing the coatings 4 and 5 between sheet P and US to inter-react and form a duplicate of the marking on the second face of the sheet P.
