Abstract: A multi-layer sheet has individual posting sheetlets in a side-by-side relationship. The multi-layer sheet comprises a base release sheet, the posting sheetlets in a flat sheet form, and a removable cover sheet. The posting sheetlets are loosely held together in a manner whereby an individual posting sheetlet is easily removed and used as a base. Each posting sheetlet in the multi-layer sheet has an adhesive partially covering each face thereof in approximate aligned areas of the respective faces. A front face or a back face of the individual posting sheetlet is adhered to a substrate while an opposed face holds an item for posting. In use, an individual posting sheetlet is readily removed from the multi-layer sheet and a cover panel removed from the posting sheetlet to fully expose the front face and the back face of the individual posting sheetlet.

Abstract: A laminated form is made of multiple plies which are laminated together. One or both of the outer plies is die-cut to form a plurality of spaced apart or contiguous removable labels. Each label has one portion on the underside provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive to allow the label to be temporarily attached, for example, to a page of a catalog. The adhesive-free portion of each label may be held in place in the form by ties or by adhesive on the opposed ply with a barrier coat therebetween. The labels may be disposed in a random pattern on each ply with suitable software provided to image the labels in distinct manners.

The interface includes a first pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) surface which is bondable under pressure to at least a portion of the first heat transfer surface of the heat-generating source, and an opposing second pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) surface bondable under pressure to at least a portion of the second heat transfer surface of the heat-generating source.

Abstract: A bookbinding structure and method. The bookbinding structure is, used to bind pages together in existing, commercially available binding machines. The bookbinding structure has a heat activated adhesive matrix for binding the pages. To attach a wrap-around book cover once the pages have been bound with the bookbinding structure, an adhesive on the outer surface of the bookbinding structure may be exposed by removing a release liner covering the adhesive. The book cover may then be adhered to the exposed adhesive either by a heat method or by applying pressure over the adhesive, depending on the particular type of adhesive of the bookbinding structure. The book cover may be printed with information and/or graphics prior to being wrapped around the pages of the book.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive laminate and a method for making the same, for which the release strength between an adhesive layer and a release liner can be selectively varied after the laminate has been manufactured by exposing the interface between the adhesive layer and the release liner to ultraviolet light. The invention allows the selective enhancement of release strength is specific zones, such as by use of a mask. It also allows for the manufacture of a laminate having two face sheets with no dedicated backing sheet, each face sheet acting as the backing sheet for the other.

Abstract: An assembly for creating free form laminated objects, such as a throwing toys or napkin ring that can be printed or decorated by the use of printer or copier without jamming. The assembly includes a sheet of cardstock or thin printable sheet material, a sheet of transparent laminated plastic and intermediate adhesive layer that adheres the cardstock sheet and laminated sheet together. The cardstock sheet has a die cut outline configured to the desired shape of an object. The laminated sheet has a die cut outline substantially extending outside of the outline on the cardstock sheet, to allow laminated sheet to fold over and entirely cover the cardstock area within the cardstock die cut outline. The assembly has a substantially constant thickness and substantially flat upper and lower surfaces so that the assembly can pass through a printer or copier without jamming.

Abstract: A strip of self-adhesive labels is formed by providing a backing strip having a labelling strip superimposed over it then dividing the labelling strip into successive labels and waste regions. The waste regions are more firmly secured to the backing strip than the labels and effectively reinforce the strength of the labelling strip for passage through a label application machine.

Abstract: A double-faced adhesive tape without release liner is provided. A weakly adhesive layer 12 having a relatively weak adhesive force is formed on one face of a resin film 11 and a strongly adhesive layer 13 having a stronger adhesive force than that of the weakly adhesive layer 12 is formed on the other face and the assembly is formed into a roll of a double-faced adhesive tape 5. The weakly adhesive layer 12 is formed after the surface of the resin film 11 has been subjected to a rubbing treatment to increase the adhesive force between them, so that the weakly adhesive layer 12 and the strongly adhesive layer 13 are separated without using a release liner when the tape is rolled up.

In another embodiment of the invention, the card has a pressure sensitive label portion and a coupon portion. The label portion includes a layer of adhesive between a layer of sheet material and a layer of liner material. Peeling off a portion of the liner material exposes a portion of the adhesive layer. The card is removably attach to the desired structure by pressing the exposed adhesive layer against the structure.

Abstract: A flexographic varnishing plate, used for the selective application of varnish over printed areas, is made by cutting an elastomeric layer bonded to a clear substrate with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The elastomer is peeled off from the areas which should not be varnished and an exposure to ultra-violet light increases the strength of the adhesive holding the remaining elastomer to the substrate. The plate can be used on lithographic and flexographic printing presses.

Abstract: An emblem for embroidery stitching directly to a substrate is disclosed which provides an emblem which can be readily embroidered. The emblem includes a fabric layer with a thermoplastic adhesive coating one side of the fabric layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating the thermoplastic adhesive to provide an emblem which can temporarily adhere to a substrate. The emblem can thus be temporarily secured during embroidery and prevent distortion of the emblem. Following embroidery, the emblem is heat-sealed to a substrate and the thermoplastic adhesive coating penetrates through the pressure sensitive adhesive for attachment of the emblem to the substrate.
