  • Business form
    Patent number: 7604854
    Abstract: A business form with a moisture transport accelerating and stabilizing coating for improving the transport of moisture through paper stock during printing in a laser printing. The coating improves the resistance of the paper to curling when heated in a laser printer and reduces the likelihood of paper jams, especially during duplex printing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2009
    Assignee: Bertek Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Steve Jarvis, Ken Whitcomb, Eric Severy
  • Secure card
    Patent number: 6916047
    Abstract: A laminated construction that combines card stock with another card stock that has been printed with a dark pigmented coating, such as ink, to prevent the show through of information that appears beneath a scratch-off coating over the concealed information.
    Type: Grant

  • Label/form combination assembly
    Patent number: 6572151
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a label/form combination assembly which will be able to withstand the harsh environment present in a laser printer in both simplex and duplex imaging modes. The label/form combination document is constructed of two separate materials joined together at a coplanar joint. A variable image receptive, pressure sensitive stock being comprised of a coplanar combination of facestock, pressure sensitive adhesive and release liner overlapping a laser bond paper is used in the label/form combination. A joint is formed when a portion of the liner of the pressure sensitive stock is removed, exposing its pressure sensitive adhesive. The exposed pressure sensitive adhesive is adhered to a strip of the laser quality bond sheet to create a bond between the label and the bond sheet. A remaining portion of the liner is adhered to the laser bond sheet with a cold bond adhesive that results in a double bond. The finished construction is die cut to form at least one rounded corner.
