A tie article that includes an attachment portion and a bib portion, where the bib portion includes at least one arm segment and at least one closure device (e.g., a retention wire, tin tie, clasp tie, and the like), where the attachment portion and the bib portion are integrally fabricated from a printed sheet having a first surface and a polymeric film adhered to the first surface of the printed sheet such that the closure device(s) is disposed between the first surface of the printed sheet and the polymeric film at the attachment portion. Multiple tie articles may be manufactured with an in-line process.

A greeting card body having an integral pouch into which a gift card or other item may be inserted and removed. The greeting card may additionally contain sound capabilities or other special effects.

Provided are approaches for concealing or obscuring transaction card numbers. In some approaches, a transaction card may include a body comprising a first main side opposite a second main side, and a plurality of structures extending from at least one of the first or second main sides. In a bent configuration of the body, the plurality of structures separate from one another, in a substantially flat configuration of the body, adjacent structures of the plurality of structures abut one another.

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.

The mechanically stable value or security document 2000 according to the invention comprising an electric circuit 1270 is characterised by the following features: the document is formed of at least three document layers which are arranged in a stack 1700 and which are connected together face-to-face by a joining method, wherein a first document layer is formed by a circuit carrier layer 1200 which supports the electric circuit 1270, at least one second document layer is formed in each case by a compensation layer 1100 which has at least one opening 1120 and/or recess, and at least one third document layer is formed in each case by an outer cover layer 1300. The first 1200, the at least one second 1100, and the at least one third document layer 1300 are formed from a fibre composite material.
