An envelope sheet assembly for securing into a brochure or binder includes multiple sheets overlying one another so that the assembly is of uniform thickness to facilitate printing thereon. The envelope sheet assembly is preferably 8&frac12; inches by 11 inches in size, and the envelope is preferably 11 inches by 4&frac12; inches. Permanent pressure sensitive adhesive is employed to hold the sheets together and to form the envelope. The adhesive is also applied to the sealing flap, with a removable strip coated with a suitable release agent (i.e. silicone) protecting the adhesive coated flap. Perforations permit easy removal of the envelope from the assembly. The perforations can have a cut and tie pattern wherein the ties attach the envelope to the sheet assembly. The sheet assembly frames the envelope at all outside edges of the envelope or some of the outer edges of the sheet assembly can form outer edges of the envelope.

Machine feedable envelope

The present invention relates to an assembly which includes a display card-forming section and an identification card-forming section. The identification card-forming section includes a first backing sheet and contains an identification card backing region. Further included is a first adhesive layer, a first release layer joined to the first side of the backing sheet and to the first adhesive layer except at the identification card backing region where there is an opening in the first release layer, and a transparent lamination sheet. The transparent lamination sheet has a first side, joined to the first adhesive layer. The transparent lamination sheet includes an identification card back covering portion aligned with the opening and an identification card front covering portion adjacent to and substantially similar in size to the identification card back covering portion, where the identification card front and back covering portions are separable from the transparent lamination sheet and joined at a location substantially aligned with a side edge of the identification card backing region. Further, the present invention relates to methods of creating a laminated card.

Laminated card assembly

An envelope sheet assembly for stand-alone use, or for securing into a brochure or binder, includes multiple sheets overlying one another so that the assembly is of uniform thickness to facilitate laser, offset, flexograph printing or the like thereon. The envelope sheet assembly is preferably 8&frac12; inches by 11 inches in size, and the envelope is preferably 11 inches by 4&frac12; inches. Permanent pressure sensitive adhesive is employed to hold the sheets together and to form the envelope. The adhesive is also applied to the sealing flap, with a removable strip protecting the adhesive coated flap. The sheet assembly may frame the envelope at all outside edges of the envelope or some of the outer edges of the sheet assembly can form outer edges of the envelope.

Printable triple-layer mailer assembly

An envelope sheet assembly for securing into a brochure or binder includes two sheets overlying one another so that the assembly is of uniform thickness to facilitate printing thereon. The envelope sheet assembly is preferably 81/2 inches by 11 inches in size, and the envelope is preferably 11 inches by 41/2 inches. Permanent pressure sensitive adhesive is employed to form the envelope and is applied to the sealing flap, with a removable strip to protect the adhesive coated flap. Perforations permit easy removal of the envelope from the assembly.

Two layer mailer envelope for brochure

An identification wristband and corresponding adhesive identification labels are supplied by a single printed laminated sheet material. The latter comprises a paper sheet of which a wristband part has a die cut, elongated, wristband strip and a label part having a plurality of die cut adhesive labels. The die cut wristband strip and the die cut labels are printed with correlated identification indicia. The under side of the label part is releasably adhered to a release sheet. A flexible transparent film is releasably adhered to the under side of the wristband part of the paper sheet. The transparent film is die cut to form two contiguous rectangular areas, each slightly larger than the firmly adhered die cut wristband strip. These die cut film areas are separated by a longitudinally bisecting line and each has a longitudinal, integral, tabular extension at opposite ends. To form a covered wristband, the die cut strip of the paper sheet is pressed on the printed side to separate it from the sheet. The die cut section of the film is peeled from its releasable adhesion to the under side of the sheet. Then the rectangular area of the film is folded along the bisecting line and adhered to the printed side of the band strip. This forms a wristband having a laminated transparent cover for the printed strip and with exposed adhesive tabs at each end thereof. The labels with correlated indicia can be affixed to medicine containers for a patient identified by the wristband.
