Abstract: This application relates to a multi-layer sheet suitable for printer infeed comprising a liner sheet and a label sheet. The sheets are bonded together with a dry release coating. The coating may comprise, for example a dry adhesive or the combination of a breakaway coating and an adhesive. In one embodiment the label sheet is formed of transparent plastic and is cut to define a plurality of labels. When a label is removed from the liner sheet, the adhesive remains on the liner sheet and the label is non-tacky Similarly, since the adhesive is quick drying or coated, the dry release coating ensures that the exposed liner layer 12 is also non-tacky after a label is removed. This permits the multi-layer sheet to be fed through a printer multiple times, even after some labels have been removed. For example, labels may be selectively printed with indicia such as the name or title of an employee or a corporate logo and the printed labels may then be used as part of a wearable name tag assembly.

Abstract: This application relates to identifier tag assembly including a holder having a peripheral frame, a backer sheet and indicia visible through the holder when the backer sheet and holder are coupled together. The frame is preferably transparent or semi-transparent so that at least part of the indicia is visible through the frame. In one embodiment indicia may be printed on the frame itself. Indicia may alternatively or additionally be visible through an inner portion of the holder, such as a central opening surrounded by the frame. The indicia may comprise decorative designs, patterns, colorations and/or text. The indicia may be carried on the backer sheet or on one or more inserts positionable between the holder and the backer sheet. In one embodiment an insert may have approximately the same size and shape as the frame and may be aligned with the frame when the identifier tag is assembled. In another embodiment the insert may have approximately the same size and shape as the backer sheet.
