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 liner sheet layer may include at least one surface feature provided along a back side of the liner sheet. In another embodiment, the facestock layer may include at least one surface feature provided along the front of the facestock layer. The surface features may create a zone of increased friction or increase tactile sensitivity along the various surfaces of the label sheet assembly to improve printer processing.

Abstract: A label is provided that includes a body portion having an area, a front surface, and a back surface. The label also includes a tab portion having an area and a back surface, and the tab portion is integrally coupled to the body portion and extending from an end of the body portion. A line of weakness divides the tab portion and the body portion, and the line of weakness is formed such that the tab portion is selectively separable from the body portion along the line of weakness. A layer of adhesive is provided on the back surface of the body portion of the label, and a majority of the back surface of the tab portion is free of adhesive. The area of the tab portion is less than the area of the body portion.

Abstract: A system and method enables a user such as a visitor to a facility to create a photographic identification card for himself. The user terminal prompts a user to enter identifying information including his name, and takes a photograph of the user. An identification badge is printed for the user upon predefined media. The identification card may be provided with a barcode and unique identification number. The user may be presented with a preview of the identification as the identification card is to be printed. Upon exiting the location, the user may scan the barcode or enter the unique identification number to sign out of the system and exit the location. A user activity log may be maintained at a server such that each time an identification card is created, printed or signed out, the log is updated with information regarding the user information, date, time, location or other information.

Abstract: A pad of index tabs includes a plurality of sheets, each sheet comprising a front and a back, and an area of removable adhesive along a top edge of the back. The sheets are applied to one another at respective areas of removable adhesive to form a pad. Each sheet has a plurality of index tabs removably adhered thereto. The tabs are partially coated with removable adhesive and have an edge portion that is not coated with adhesive. Each of the tabs has on an edge thereof a writing surface.

Abstract: A printing stock assembly for printing identification badges with a roll-fed label printer includes a release liner and a plurality of stock badges. The release liner may have a plurality of spaced apart weakening lines. Each of the stock badges includes a face stock and an adhesive layer. The stock badges are releasably attached to the release liner in single-file manner between the weakening lines, respectively. The face stock the stock badges includes a verso half and a recto half divided by a fold line. In addition, the face stock may include a pair of strap apertures formed in the verso and recto halves in a mirror image about the fold line. Accordingly, after printing, a stock badge may be removed from the release liner, thereby exposing the adhesive layer. The face stock may then be folded about the fold line such that the adhesive layer of the verso half is adherent to the adhesive layer of the recto half to form a two-sided identification badge.
