A protective document cover is disclosed. The protective document cover includes a clear protective sheet that may be affixed to the front and/or back surface of a document, such as a vaccination card, via an adhesive. Micro-perforations in the sheet define one or more non-adhesive tear away covers that are dimensioned and positioned to overly updateable field(s) of the document to allow the tear away cover(s) to be removed from the protective cover and document and allow updating of the field(s) on the document. Removal of the tear away cover(s) allow a healthcare provider to record additional information to update the card. Pressure sensitive replacement covers, with permanent adhesive, of the same size as the tear away covers are provided to permanently protect the areas where additional information has been recorded. The protective replacement cover(s), once applied to the card provide permanent protection to the updated area of the card.

The present abstract relates to a patent of invention for a method for obtaining a tape (1) for self-adhesive, linerless leaflet labels, pertaining to the field of self-adhesive articles, comprising: 1)—Providing and unwinding a self-adhesive-material tape (20); 2)—Printing labels (4) and sensing marks (6) on the tape (3) of the tape (20); 3)—Applying an adhesion control layer (40) to the printed face of the tape (3), preferably comprised by laminating a BOPP-film tape; 4)—Delaminating the liner (10) from the tape (20); 5)—Inverting the position of the liner (10) in relation to the remaining tape of the self-adhesive-material tape (20); 6)—Applying a layer (50) of adhesive to the face of the liner (10) that includes Corona treatment (13), facing the tape (3); 7)—Drying the adhesive (50); 8)—Applying the leaflets (7) to the tape (3) in correspondence with respective labels (4); 9)—Relaminating the liner (10); 10)—Slitting the leaflet-label linerless self-adhesive tape (1) obtained; and 11)—Winding up the finished self-adhesive linerless leaflet-label tape (1) to form the reel (11).

A labeling article and a method of use and assembly of the labeling article, where the labeling article comprises a label, an elastic securing band, and a release liner, and where the elastic securing band is configured to be stretched to define a loop between the elastic securing band and the release liner.

An indicator tag and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed. For example, the indicator tag includes a three-dimensional mesh comprising a plurality of pores, wherein the three-dimensional mesh is printed with a water soluble and ultra-violet (UV) light curable ink, a container enclosing the three-dimensional mesh, a membrane coupled to the three-dimensional mesh, and a dye dispensed on top of the membrane, wherein the three-dimensional mesh interacts with the dye when in contact with the dye to provide an indication.

A lenticular tag display system and a lenticular tag are provided. The tag display system includes a display structure having an axis of rotation and a set of the lenticular tags, removably connected to the display structure. Each tag in the set of lenticular tags has a first lenticular image selected by a name program and a second lenticular image that is a souvenir image. Each tag is oriented relative to the display structure such that an axis of lenticulation of the lenticular tag is parallel to the axis of rotation of the display structure.

A method of forming an elastic labeling band. The method includes covering a central portion of a web of tag material with a release agent, advancing the web of tag material longitudinally and disposing a layer of molten elastomer over the advancing web of tag material, including over the release agent on the central portion thereof. The layer of molten elastomer is disposed over the web of tag material so that the elastomer bonds only to those portions of the web not covered with the release agent. The method includes curing the elastomer to define, with the web bonded thereto, an advancing web assembly, and separating a longitudinal segment from the web assembly to define an elastic labeling band.
