Abstract: A laminate for use in computerized automated sign making machines and the method for making the same are disclosed. The laminate is formed by adhesively laminating a clear polyester sheet to any suitable decorative backing sheet. The polyester sheet has a release coating on a surface thereof which adhesively receives a decorative face sheet. When introduced to an automated sign making machine, a movable knife cuts only through the face sheet, allowing selected portions of the face sheet to be removed to provide a sign of two decorative features, one defined by the face sheet, and the other by the backing sheet.

Abstract: Collectible, rectangular ticket-type display device having a window in which is mounted a transparency type film frame or multi-frame clip for see-through type viewing. The display device preferably includes security and/or authentication indicia, and is fabricated from archival-quality materials. The ticket is formed from a single folded sheet of heavy paper or plastic material and scored along one edge for a fold to define a front and back panel. The film frame or clip is secured in an envelope or packet of non-bleed, non-yellowing transparent polyester plastic which is mounted to one inner face of the ticket panels. Preferably the ticket window is of sufficient size to exhibit the sprocket holes of the film frame or clip for authenticity. The transparency images may be of a motion picture or performance event such as a concert, sporting or historical event, and may be reproduced from a film positive or negative, or from video tape.

Abstract: A protective magazine cover consists of a pair of transparent polyester sheets secured at opposed lateral edges thereof by means of an appropriate pressure sensitive adhesive tape. A portion of the adhesive of the tape along the lateral edges thereof secures the sheets, while a portion of the pressure sensitive adhesive therebetween is adapted for making secured engagement of a magazine cover along either side of the spine thereof. In one embodiment of the invention, a tail of tape extends longitudinally from the ends thereof and is provided with a flap for making securing engagement with the inner page of the magazine.
