  • Patent number: 8092886
    Abstract: A form that incorporates card such that the form can be reliably printed on by the end user and manufactured less expensively. The form includes a printable substrate. Weakened lines of the substrate define an integrated removable portion capable of being held in the form and easily removed manually when desired. In the integrated card form, a recess may be provided adjacent the removable portion to facilitate removal of the removable portion.

  • Patent number: 8034425
    Abstract: A form or printing product and method for fabricating same on label formation equipment. The form includes first and second layers of material adhesively secured together. The first layer includes a card or label and a surrounding region, wherein the top and bottom surfaces of the card or label are substantially co-planar with the top and bottom surfaces, respectively, of the surrounding region. The second layer is adhered over the card or label and the surrounding region. By compressing the leading edge or trailing edge of the elevated second layer in tandem with the first layer, and thereby creating a small indentation, allows a sheet exiting a printer to bypass, travel over, or not come into contact with the second layer of the previously printed form resting in an output tray.

  • Publication number: 20090110865
    Abstract: A form that incorporates either a label or card such that the form can be reliably printed on by the end user and manufactured less expensively. The integrated label form includes a top printable substrate and a liner substrate mated together by an adhesive. The top printable substrate serves at least partially as removable portions capable of being reapplied. Weakened lines of substrate may be provided to define removable portions on the top printable substrate. The form also may include a similar printable substrate mated to the other side of the liner by adhesive. Weakened lines of substrate also may formed in the second substrate to define removable portions. The integrated card form includes a printable substrate and a first and second laminate mated to the substrate and together by an adhesive. Weakened lines of substrate and first laminate define an integrated removable portion capable of being held in the form by the second laminate and easily removed manually when desired.

  • Patent number: 6986306
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing multiple die cut business forms is disclosed. One embodiment of a printing press according to the present invention includes a number of different stations that are connected together by a continuos web. Multiple die cut business forms are produced by a continuos process from stock paper to an output configuration such as continuos roll, fan fold, or cut sheet. One aspect of the present invention is that a silicone treated glassine stock paper substrate can be utilized to allow business forms to be produced with minimized curling.

  • Patent number: 5462488
    Abstract: An integrated card and business form assembly and method for fabricating same on a label formation equipment, or the like. The assembly comprises a first layer of material and a second layer of material adhesively attached to each other. The second layer of material has at least one card member and a surrounding border region, wherein the top and bottom surfaces of the at least one card member are substantially co-planar with the top and bottom surfaces, respectively, of the surrounding border region. The at least one card member is detachable from the first layer of material without any substantial migration of adhesive to the bottom surface of the at least one card member--so as to substantially preclude tackiness to the bottom surface of the at least one card member.

  • Patent number: 5337663
    Abstract: A combination stencil and label apparatus and method for forming and attaching same wherein the apparatus can be applied directly or indirectly to business forms, packaging and other surfaces. A web of stencil material is removably attached to a juxtaposed web of label material which is then cut to form a plurality of stencil assemblies. The stencil assemblies, which may include preliminarily impressed indicia, are then manually, or automatically applied to, for example, a business form. The label material may also include an image producing liner which simultaneously accepts and displays the indicia impressed on the stencil material and, in turn, the label. Furthermore, the stencil material, label material and liner material are each releasably attached to one another so as to facilitate independent use after initial affixation to the business form.

  • Patent number: 4664031
    Abstract: A stencil apparatus for removable and stabilized affixation to the upper surface of a business form for subsequent removal, in a facilitated manner, to enable reproduction of indicia on other surfaces such as shipping containers. A thin planar ply of stencil material is operably bonded to a frame member attached along the material's bottom peripheral surface. The frame member is, in turn, removably affixed to the upper surface of the business form by adhesive in the form of spherical globules. A method for forming and affixing the stencil apparatus to the business form is described in which continuous webs of stencil and frame material are preliminarily formed for subsequent yet removable bonding of individual stencil assemblies to the business form.
