Abstract: A pattern-adhesive label-sheet comprises at least one label made of a face stock and a release liner. The label includes a label head with a first adhesive applied in a first pattern, a label body with a second adhesive applied in a second pattern, and a label tab. In some embodiments, at least part of the label tab overhangs the release liner. In some embodiments, a silicone coating can be applied to the label body and/or release liner.

Abstract: An adhesive assembly includes a film having a top and bottom surface. An activatable adhesive is disposed on the bottom surface of the film. A release liner is applied to a surface of the adhesive, opposite the film. The release liner and the activatable adhesive being configured to electrostatically charge the activatable adhesive upon removal of the release liner from the adhesive.

Abstract: A surface cover having a polarized adhesive material bonded or operably connected to at least a portion of a substrate. The polarized adhesive material may be a hot melt adhesive material. The substrate may have little or no electret capabilities. The electrostatic charge of the polarized adhesive material may allow the surface cover to be removed from a mounting surface for positional adjustment during the application of the surface cover to the mounting surface. Once at its desired location, and/or aligned with the patterns, characters, or images on an adjacent surface cover, the polarized adhesive material may be activated. The adhesive force provided by the activated polarized adhesive material may provide a sufficient force for adhering surface cover along the mounting surface, thereby making the dissipation or loss of electrostatic charge inconsequential to the ability of the surface cover to remain at its desired position along the mounting surface.

Abstract: A multiple fold product includes a relatively rigid substrate, such as paperboard, which has upper and lower surfaces. Slots are selectively cut into the substrate at the desired fold locations. The slots divide the substrate into an array of interconnected rectangular sections that are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns and which are interconnected by tabs. A first transparent, flexible sheet of material is mounted on the upper surface of the substrate. The first sheet of material has selected intelligence reverse printed on its lower surface such that the printed material is interposed between the substrate and the first sheet of material when the first sheet of transparent material is mounted on the substrate. A second transparent, flexible sheet of material is mounted on the lower surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a publication including uniting a printed paper web with a printed film web to form a combined web, forming at least one signature sheet from the combined web, and folding the signature sheet to form a signature, wherein the signature comprises a plurality of pages of the publication with film material sandwiched therebetween.

Abstract: In accordance with on aspect of the present invention a method is provided for making life-sized decals of an original figure. A photographic image of the figure is processed to create a digitized image containing the color information and overall shape of the photographic image. The digitized image is developed into a film negative image which is substantially the same size as the original figure. Registration marks are added to the film negative image to form registration lines in proximity to proposed joints. The film negative image is divided into image sections which overlap along the registration lines. The image sections are printed onto a clear medium removably laminated to a backing sheet. The image sections can be removed from the backing sheet and overlapped along the registration lines to reconstruct the original figure in life-size proportions.
