Abstract: A clean release card business form is simplified in construction utilizing a clean release liner. The business form includes a web of base material having a top surface and a bottom surface. The clean release liner is affixed on the bottom surface. At least one die cut section is formed in the base material web top surface, which die cut section defines a corresponding removable clean release card. Indicia may be printed as desired on either or both of the top and bottom surface of the base material web. The base material web may be suitable for lamination or pre-laminated prior to die cutting the integrated clean release card.

Abstract: A business form uses a dual label construction to advantage, particularly in association with express delivery forms. A first sheet of paper has a first face with indicia and a second face with a first pressure sensitive adhesive system. A second sheet, substantially the same size and shape as the first sheet, has a first face, and a second face with a second pressure sensitive adhesive systems. The adhesive systems preferably are alternating strips of pressure sensitive adhesive release material, with small gaps between them, so that when the second faces are placed in face-to-face engagement with each other they will separate, providing adhesive on each of the second faces. The second sheet may be a substantially transparent plastic such as polyester, which may be placed over the first sheet, to protect it, after the first sheet has been adhered to a surface (e.g., a package for express delivery).

Abstract: A packing list or bill of lading may be easily manufactured from an intermediate comprising a single sheet of paper so that the form can be printed in either cut sheet or continuous format in a simple manner with a minimum amount of adhesive for attaching the form to a package, and with a maximum useful area on the form for informational indicia. The business form is constructed typically by Z or eccentrically Z-folding an intermediate about first and second fold lines to define three plies with aligned first and second lines of weakness formed in the plies substantially parallel to the first and second side edges of the plies and defining first and second detachable side strips preferably between about 1-1.25 inches wide.

Abstract: An intermediate for a card holder, the card holder produced from the intermediate, and a method of making the card holder, are provided which are particularly useful for easily and efficiently making and attaching a card holder to a library book, or other object that a card holder is desirably associated with. The card holder is formed from an intermediate having a first (e.g. paper) ply, a second release liner ply, and pressure sensitive adhesive or cohesive holding the plies together. Various die cuts and lines of weakness (such as perf lines) are provided in the plies so as to facilitate easy assembly of the card holder from an integral sheet by removing various die cut strips or sections in sequence to readily fold the intermediate after imaging (for example with a laser printer) and then apply the card holder formed with the pressure sensitive adhesive or cohesive already associated with the intermediate, to a library book or the like.

Abstract: A business form (preferably continuous) with self-contained labels has significant versatility and a number of advantages. A cellulose ply is applied larger than a release liner ply, while the release liner ply may be provided so that one edge (e.g. with tractor drive holes) extends past a substantially parallel edge of the cellulose ply. At the opposite edge of the release liner ply adhesive release material is provided along between about 10-50% of the length of the edge so that the release material covered portion of the edge is not substantially permanently adhered to the edge by the adhesive between the plies. This allows the labels formed in the cellulose ply where overlapped by the release liner to be removed from the back or front, and allows one to separate the release liner ply completely from the cellulose ply for ease of recycling. The method of making the forms typically uses a conventional Webtron press.

Abstract: A mailer type business form has a minimum number of insert plies by providing a remittance stub as an extension of the reply envelope. In one construction, three insert plies having lesser dimensions than the first and second main plies are sandwiched between the main plies, with the second and third insert plies defining a reply envelope front and back and with a perforation line dividing the second insert ply into a reply envelope portion and a stub portion. The first insert ply overlies the second insert ply and also has a stub portion. Image transfer is provided between the stub portions, as by a CB and a CF coating, and image transfer is also provided between the first ply and the first insert ply as by a carbonized bottom face of the first ply. A fly sheet may be provided on top of the first ply. The reply envelope can either be top or end opening. In another embodiment the second ply comprises the back of the reply envelope and includes the stub portion, so that only two insert plies are provided.

Abstract: A return mailer is provided in which the outgoing and reply addresses cannot be confused, and the mailer can be changed over from an outgoing mailer to a reply mailer with a minimum of effort. The mailer includes a number of plies including a first ply having an outgoing address visible on it, at least one insert ply, a second ply, and a third ply. A sealing agent, such as tape covered by a release sheet or rewettable glue, is associated with one of the plies for sealing the plies of a reply configuration together. The second ply has a reply address printed on its outer, second face, and a portion of it is pivotally mounted to fold over the first ply.
