Abstract: A heat transfer sheet assembly and method is disclosed for improving the process of removing the carrier layer from a facestock layer. The heat transfer sheet assembly may include a heat transfer facestock layer and a carrier layer. The facestock layer may be attached to the carrier layer and include an indicia receptive surface along a side opposite the carrier layer. The carrier layer may include at least one peel line that extends from opposite edges of the assembly wherein the peel line assist to remove the carrier layer from the heat transfer facestock layer once indicia is printed on the facestock layer.

Abstract: Provided is a badge sheet assembly comprising a facestock layer having at least one cut line that defines at least one badge and a matrix portion. The assembly includes a liner sheet layer, an adhesive layer attached to the liner layer and positioned between the facestock layer and liner layer, and a patterned adhesive layer attached to a bottom surface of the at least one badge. The badge sheet assembly is configured to be fed through a printer device to receive printed indicia on a top surface of the at least one badge wherein the badge and patterned adhesive layer are configured to be removed from the matrix portion, the adhesive layer, and the liner layer after a portion of the badge sheet assembly received indicia thereon.
Abstract: A multiple wrap label has a first wrap portion extending from a first end and having a first width, and a second wrap portion extending from the first wrap portion to a second end, the second wrap portion having a second width greater than the first width, the second wrap portion extending over and enclosing the first wrap portion when the label is applied to a container.
Abstract: A binder including a front cover including a front cover exterior layer, a front cover interior layer, a front cover base plate between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover interior layer, an exterior pocket formed between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover base plate, and an interior opening formed through the front cover interior layer and the front cover base plate to the exterior pocket. Methods of manufacturing the binder are also disclosed.
Abstract: The present invention includes a label, a label sheet and a method for manufacturing the label. The label includes a paper facestock having first and second surfaces and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive proximal to the second surface. The label can be adhered to a substrate having pre-applied indicia to cover the indicia and the label is opaque enough to prevent the viewing of the covered indicia while matching the color of the substrate.

Abstract: A label sheet assembly and method is disclosed for improving the process of feeding label sheets through a printer. The label sheet assembly may include a facestock layer and a liner sheet. The facestock layer may include an adhesive layer along at least a portion of a first side and include a label surface along at least a portion of the second side opposite the adhesive layer. The facestock layer may include at least one cut line that defines at least one label within the facestock layer while the remaining portions of the facestock layer may be a matrix portion. The matrix portion may include at least one discontinuous cut line spaced from the cut line that defines at least one label wherein the discontinuous cut line may create a zone of decreased bending stiffness along the label sheet assembly.
