  • Publication number: 20130260061
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for constructing a form are disclosed. A form includes a substrate a first line of weakness formed on the substrate to separate a central area and a perimeter matrix. The perimeter matrix at least partially surrounds the central area. A fold line formed on the central area to divide the central area into a first side and a second side. A second line of weakness and a third line of weakness are at least partially formed within the central area. The second and third lines of weakness are coupled to the first line of weakness. The second and third lines of weakness form opposing removable portions that are symmetric about the fold line. When the central area is folded about the fold line and the opposing removable portions are removed, the second and third lines of weakness substantially align to create an opening for suspending the form.

  • Patent number: 8455074
    Abstract: Forms containing a removable hang tag are disclosed. An example form includes a substrate including a first line of weakness defining a central area and a perimeter area. The form includes a second line of weakness in the central area to divide the central area into a first side and a second side. The form includes a third line of weakness formed in the perimeter area to define a sleeve area. The form includes a fourth line of weakness formed in the sleeve area to divide the sleeve area into a first sleeve layer and a second sleeve layer.

  • Publication number: 20120015128
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for constructing a form are described. An example form includes a substrate having a first face and a second face. The example form also includes a plurality of lines of weakness including a first line of weakness formed in the substrate, a second line of weakness formed in the substrate adjacent to the first line of weakness and coupled to the first line of weakness at a first junction, a third line of weakness formed in the substrate and coupled to the first line of weakness, a fourth line of weakness formed in the substrate and coupled to the second line of weakness, a fifth line of weakness formed in the substrate distal to the first line of weakness, and a sixth line of weakness formed in the substrate distal to the second line of weakness and coupled to the fifth line of weakness at a second junction. The example form further includes a fold line formed on the substrate between the first junction and the second junction.

  • Patent number: 7748602
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a form for a postcard mailer are disclosed. An example form includes a substrate sheet having top and bottom edges, first and second side edges, and first and second faces. The form also includes at least first and second fold lines dividing the sheet into at least first, second, and third panels with a hang tag removably coupled to at least a portion of one of the first, second or third panels. Finally, the form has a first adhesive area provided on the first face of at least one of the second or third panels and a second adhesive area provided on the second face of at least one of the first and second panels, wherein the first and second adhesive areas adhere the third panel to the first face of the second panel and the first panel to the second face of the second panel when the substrate sheet is folded about the fold lines.

  • Publication number: 20080138556
    Abstract: Multi-ply linerless constructions and related methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. An example multi-ply linerless construction includes a first layer that has a first face including a first adhesive pattern and a second face including a first release coating. The construction further includes a second layer that has a third face including a second adhesive pattern and a fourth face including a second release coating. The second face and the third face are releasably coupled to releasably couple the first layer and the second layer. Upon a separation of the first layer and the second layer, each of the first layer and the second layer is a form that provides at least one of graphic images, graphic information, textual images or textual information.

  • Publication number: 20040004131
    Abstract: A high temperature RFID tag is provided that is adapted to receive thermal transfer print to provide indicia on an outer surface thereof and adapted to be disposed on a part that is subject to high temperature exposure. The RFID tag is formed as a lamination of a high temperature material such as high temperature polyester and including a window for an RFID generator component, a layer of high temperature resistant material that overlies the opening, and an adhesive material disposed in the window to secure the RFID generator component therein. The layer of high temperature resistant material is preferably transparent so that the indicia can be seen therethrough.

  • Patent number: 6474694
    Abstract: A medical test form having a biological sample receiving material mounted thereto. In one embodiment, the sample receiving material is incorporated in a sample receiving sub-assembly that is secured to a multi-panel carrier substrate that has instructions and/or patient information printed thereon. In another embodiment, the sample receiving material provided on one panel of a V-fold mailer. If necessary or desirable one or more additional panels can be secured to the panels of the V-fold mailer.
