System and method of manufacturing extended content labels
10906346 · 2021-02-02 · ·

A method of manufacturing an extended content label involves receiving label stock comprising a liner layer and a face stock layer, and de-laminating the liner layer from the face stock layer. The face stock layer and the liner layer each have a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the face stock layer has an adhesive layer that adheres the face stock layer to the liner layer. A first face stock image is printed onto the top surface of the liner layer. The printed face stock image is transferred to the bottom surface of the face stock layer, and a second face stock image is printed onto the top surface of the face stock layer. The transferring the printed face stock image involves re-laminating the face stock layer with the liner layer.

A sheet member includes a transmissive member, a white member, and a phosphorescent part. The transmissive member is a sheet-shaped member with a transmissive property. The white member is a white sheet-shaped member arranged so as to overlap the transmissive member. The phosphorescent part is provided between the transmissive member and the white member and contains a phosphorescent material.

Die cut calendar

A calendar has one or more individual pages of the calendar that include portions of the pages that are omitted, removed or removable in order to enable aligned portions of other pages of the calendar to be viewed through the removed portions. The removed portions can be formed as apertures in the page and/or as removed portions of one or more edges of the page, among others to allow the stacked pages to form a coordinated, and optionally customizable, decorative appearance for the calendar.

Process for transferring microstructures to a final substrate

A process for transferring microstructures to a flexible or rigid final substrate that offers advantages in both speed and precision is provided. The inventive process involves subjecting a transfer film in a continuous roll-to-roll process to the following operations: either forming microstructures on, or transferring microstructures to a surface of the transfer film; and then transferring the microstructures from the transfer film onto a surface of the final substrate. The microstructures are single or multi-layer structures that are made up of: voids in a substantially planar surface, the voids optionally filled or coated with another material; raised areas in a substantially planar surface; or combinations thereof.

Hinged repositionable business card
10899158 · 2021-01-26 · ·

A business card comprises front and back sides and a flap permanently attached to the business card. The flap comprises front and back sides and an adhesive on at least a portion of the flap's back side. The adhesive is capable of removably and reusably adhering to objects. The flap is foldable with respect to the business card such that the flap can be placed in at least two configurations. In a first configuration, the adhesive adheres to a portion of the back side of the business card, so that the business card is non-adhesive and can be used like a convention business card. In a second configuration, the flap aligns at least approximately with the business card, thereby presenting the flap's adhesive to be able to adhere to another object such that the front side of the business card faces outward from said another object.

Synthetic peel out ID card and method of making the same
10889083 · 2021-01-12 ·

Described herein is form assembly having a removable and synthetic peel out identification card and a method of making the same. The assembly is generally comprised of a laminate of a first planar form layer having an at least one aperture, a first planar layer of synthetic material, and a second planar layer of synthetic material forming the identification card. The first planar layer of synthetic material is applied to a second side of the first planar form layer across the width and over the at least one aperture forming a backer. The second planar layer of the synthetic material is placed within the at least one aperture and secured to the first planar layer of synthetic material. A controlled depth cut is then made to a second side of the first planar layer of synthetic material within a perimeter of the second planar layer of synthetic material to allow for the selective release of the second planar layer of synthetic material from the form.

Ordered Stack of Bound Pre-Printed Product Information Sheets for a Store

An ordered stack of bound sheets may comprise a set of printed product information sheets. An individual bound sheet may comprise a single printed product information sheet or may comprise a plurality of printed product information sheets. Each of the individual printed product information sheets may be detached from the ordered stack of bound sheets in the order in which the printed product information sheets are presented. The individual printed product information sheets (which are detached from the ordered stack in order) may be connected to structures in the stores based on a planogram for a set of products for display in the store. The order of the printed product information sheets may match an order in which the sheets are positioned based on the planogram.
