Abstract: A coupon card assembly for attaching to a support structure is disclosed. The assembly includes a hinge partially cut through first and second layers of material and a liner to define a first and second card portion movable about a pivot axis. The first card portion includes a score line disposed along a width and cut through the first layer of material to define a segment of the first layer of material removable from the first card portion to expose one of a first and second layer of adhesive remaining on the first card portion for attaching the first card portion to the support structure. The score line is spaced from the pivot axis with at least a portion of the hinge continuing to include both of the first and second layers of material such that the hinge remains functional after removing the segment.

Abstract: A manufacturing machine assembly for producing a coupon card fabricated from a continuous sheet of material. An application station receives the sheet of material with a bottom side facing upward for applying a masking agent to a portion of the bottom side. A drying station dries the masking agent as the sheet of material moves through the drying station at a high rate of speed. An inverting device rotates and reorients the sheet of material such that the top side of the sheet material is facing upward. A printing station prints indicia in parallel rows on the top side for defining a first strip and a second strip. The first and second strips are separated from one another and are bonded together to form a series of two-sided coupon cards. The series of two-sided coupon cards are separated from a web of scrap material to form individual two-sided coupon cards.

Abstract: The invention provides a package assembly for an article such as radio frequency identification device. The package assembly defines a pocket for receiving the radio frequency identification device and can be attached to a second article for maintaining the position of the radio frequency identification device with respect to the second article. The package assembly includes a blank having first and second panels that can be folded over one another. A first quantity of adhesive connects the panels to one another after the panels have been folded over. A second quantity of adhesive is disposed disintermediate of the first and second panels to connect the package to the article. The package also includes an access portion connected to one of the panels by a plurality of perforations. A pull tab extends from the access portion to enhance the removal of the access portion with respect to the associated panel.

Abstract: A claim tag assembly has a first layer of card stock and a second layer of card stock with a liner sandwiched therebetween. Score lines are cut through the layers of card stock and the liner to define a first identification portion and a second identification portion. A first identifier is printed on the first identification portion for conveying a first message and a second identifier is printed on the second identification portion for conveying a second message which is identical to the first message. The first and second identification portions can then be matched after separation. The score lines further defining a card with the card being separable from the first and second identification portions. The card has at least promotional indicia and/or a coupon printed thereon for providing a marketing aspect to the claim tag assembly. Preferably, the card has a plurality of mini-coupons which can be detached from the card.

Abstract: A card manufacturing machine assembly for producing a coupon card fabricated from a continuous sheet of stock. The machine assembly has a support frame for supporting the continuous sheet of stock as the sheet of stock moves through the machine assembly. A driving mechanism is mounted to the support frame and has driving gears for transferring the sheet of stock through the machine assembly at a predetermined speed. A printing station prints indicia on the continuous sheet of stock in two parallel rows. A cutting device separates the continuous sheet of stock into two strips. An inverting device rotates one of the strips 180° relative to the other strip. A stripping device removes a release liner from one of the strips to expose an adhesive layer. A pair of coupling rollers are mounted to the support frame and are in driving engagement with one of the driving gears to rotate the coupling rollers at a predetermined rotational speed.

Abstract: A coupon card assembly (10) having a first card half (12) and a second card half (14). Both the first (12) and second (14) card halves include a liner (20, 26) and two layers of card stock (22, 24, 28, 30) sandwiching the respective liner (20, 26) therebetween. A number of mini-coupons (36) are detachably cut into each of the card halves (12, 14) through an inner layer of card stock (24, 30). The card assembly (10) is characterized by a living hinge (40) interconnecting the first card half (12) with the second card half (14) to define a dual coupon card assembly (10) wherein the first card half (12) may be folded upon the second card half (14). The subject invention provides a structurally sound coupon card assembly (10) with numerous mini-coupons (36) wherein the coupon card assembly (10) may be folded to form a relatively compact card preferably the size of a standard credit card.

Abstract: A promotional one-piece mailer assembly having two layers of card stock. A release liner is sandwiched between the two layers of card stock. An integral card is formed within the first and second layers of card stock. A plurality of mini-coupons are detachably cut into the integral card through the second layer of card stock. The assembly is characterized by a series of score lines cut through the first and second layers of card stock and the liner and spaced from the peripheral edges of the first and second layers of card stock to completely define the card integrally disposed within the mailer assembly and to securely maintain the card within the mailer assembly.
