Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite form and a method of printing the form. The composite form has a paper component and a flexible magnetic sheet component that are adhered to one another. The magnetic component is able to adhere to a ferromagnetic surface but does not adhere to other composite forms having a magnetic component through use of a shielding layer when the forms are provided in a stacked configuration for feeding into a printer. The composite form may be fed through a printer without jamming or magnetic attraction to components within the printer. The composite form is constructed to facilitate printing by having a single thickness entering the printer with a small area of overlap between the paper component and magnetic sheet component or the magnetic component may be inlaid into an opening in the paper component.

Abstract: A composite form and method of printing the same are provided, the composite form having a paper component and a magnetic sheet component of flexible magnetic material adhesively attached to the paper component. The magnetic sheet component is magnetically influenced to an extent which permits the magnetic sheet material thereof to be self-sustaining when the back face of the material is placed on a vertical ferromagnetic surface but not to magnetically adhere to other of the composite forms when stacked in a tray for feeding into a printer such that the composite forms individually feed into a laser or ink jet printer without jamming. The magnetic sheet component includes a synthetic resin laminate on the front face which helps to shield the magnetic field. The magnetic sheet component is preferably arranged relative to the paper component so that the full thickness of the magnetic sheet component does not overlap the paper component.

Abstract: A form is provided which is especially adapted for printing which includes a carrier sheet having a backing sheet and a matrix sheet and at least one card adhered to the carrier sheet and positioned within an opening in the matrix sheet. The card is imprinted with indicia and the portion of the backing sheet visible within the opening of the matrix sheet when the card is removed is printed with an image similar or the same as the indicia so that when the card is removed, the information or impression conveyed by the indicia is still seen on the carrier sheet. The card is preferably removably adhered to the backing sheet by a layer of adhesive. The card may include a magnetic element so that when removed, it is self supporting when placed on a ferromagnetic surface. The upper surface of the card, when positioned on the carrier sheet within the opening, is preferably substantially co-planar with the top side of the matrix sheet.

Abstract: A form having a plurality of labels includes a label section having a label ply with at a plurality of discrete labels separated from one another by lines of separation and a release ply having a strip die cut therein. The strip is oriented to connect two or more of the labels and spans the lines of separation. Preferably, two elongated parallel strips are provided each having a transverse line of weakness. The labels may be removed from the form with the strip or strips connecting the labels. The strips may be peeled away from the adhesive covered back of the labels, but because the strips cover only a small portion of the back of each label and are positioned within the borders of the labels, the labels may be applied to a substrate, such as a prescription drug container, with the strips still attached. The strips include transverse lines of weakness which permits some or all of the labels to be separated from one of the labels during removal from the form.

Abstract: A business form is provided which provides improved securement of a card inlaid within an opening of a surrounding ply. The card is inlaid within the opening whereby it is substantially coplanar to the ply, providing decreased thickness, and is temporarily held therein by a pair of elongated strips along respective and spaced edges of each opening and borders of each card, and also by patches applied intermittently between said strips and along other borders of each card. The application of the patches provides improved retention of the cards within their openings during processing such as printing, without substantially inhibiting the ability to print indicia on the back side of the cards intermediate the patches and the strips. The application of small, intermittent patches to hold the inlaid cards within the surrounding ply substantially increases the available area on the back side of the card while improving retention of the card during manufacturing.
