A business form includes a carrier sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, and defining a die cut opening there through, with a patch of liner material mounted on the lower surface of the carrier sheet. The patch extends over the opening. The liner material has an upper surface facing the die cut opening in the carrier sheet, and carries a release coating on the upper surface. A two ply label assembly is mounted on the patch of liner material in the die cut opening. The two ply label assembly includes a transparent ply mounted on the upper surface of the patch of liner material, and a label ply mounted on the transparent ply. The form is manufactured by: a.) die cutting an opening in a piece of carrier material; b.) adhesively affixing a patch of liner material to the piece of carrier material; c.) mounting a transparent ply on the patch of liner material within the die cut opening; and d.) mounting a label ply on the transparent ply. The form is used by: a.) removing the label ply from the transparent ply; b.) adhesively securing the label ply to the label support surface; c.) removing the transparent ply from the patch of liner material; and d.) adhesively securing the transparent ply to the label ply and to the label support surface, such that the transparent ply completely covers the label ply, thereby protecting the label ply while permitting the indicia to be viewed.

Method of making a business form including a label

A business form or mailer intermediate providing fold-over carbonless imaging is provided. The form or mailer includes separate CB and CF coating portions on a single sheet. When the form or mailer is folded about a fold line, the CB portion comes in contact with the CF portion. An image is created when the fold-over carbonless area is subjected to an imaging force.

Business form or mailer with carbonless imaging

A cellulosic substrate which is suitable for use as a mailer or envelope and which has at least one transparentized portion is provided. A method of transparentizing a cellulosic substrate by the application of a transparentizing material which provides enhanced toner adhesion properties, fast penetration rates and which is cured by exposure to radiation is also provided. The addition of small amounts of water to the transparentizing material enhances penetration rates. Further, these transparentizing materials may be applied without the need for solvents. These features thus permit continuous, in-line transparentization.

Cellulose substrates with transparentized area and method of making

Business form including a label

A multipart form and label combination is provided which may be printed in a single pass through a printer. The combination includes a face ply which may be printed with nonvariable and variable indicia, a film ply, and an optional intermediate liner ply. The combination also includes first, second or third removable portions such as, for example, a label, receipt or postcard. In a preferred embodiment, the multipart form and label combination is used as an inspection form.

Multipart form and label combination

An envelope intermediate having an integral mail-back piece is provided. The intermediate is formed form a single sheet of substrate material divided into four panels by fold lines. A first and second ply is provided in two adjacent panels so that when the intermediate is folded, a mail-back piece is created. The mail-back piece may be either a two-ply card or envelope. Provisions for a removable partition are also included.

Envelope intermediate with integral mail-back piece

A tuck label construction which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, is capable of being printed by a wide variety of conventional automated printing devices, and which can be printed with automated control systems such as bar codes is provided. In one form, the label includes a face ply having first and second major surfaces and a liner ply having first and second major surfaces. The first surface of the face ply includes an adhesive thereon which is adhered to the first surface of the liner ply, and the first surface of the liner ply contains a release agent thereon. Each of the face and liner plies includes a pair of end panels having center panels therebetween, with the end panels on the face ply being defined by lines of weakness between the end panels and the center panel on the face ply, and the end panels on the liner ply being Separated from the center panel on the liner ply.

Dual use product or shipping label

In accordance with the present invention, a multiple-ply label form is provided which includes a plurality of readily removable elements for use in facilitating business operations, such as package shipment. The removable elements include at least one adhesive backed element securable elsewhere by means of the adhesive, and a single-ply and/or multiple-ply element readily separable from the balance of the label form. The adhesive backed element may have one or more plies. Mailing information or other indicia may be applied on each element as desired. The single-ply and/or multiple-ply element may have an adhesive free backing for filing, mailing or other applications related to the business employing the label form.

Laminated label form with removable portions

A mailer or business form intermediate including a built-in reply envelope. The mailer comprises a single substrate sheet divided into four panels. At least three of the four panels are of substantially the same longitudinal dimension. The reply envelope is fashioned from the second and third panels upon folding. A closure flap for the reply envelope is also included. The mailer also contains provisions for including a number of partitions for labels or statements, a two-ply card, or a window for addresses.

Business form or mailer intermediate

A mailer or business form intermediate including a built-in two-ply card is provided. The mailer comprises a single substrate sheet divided into three or four panels. The two-ply card is fashioned from lines of weakness forming single card plies in two adjacent panels which when folded come into contact and are held together with adhesive to form the two-ply card. Additional adhesives are employed to seal the mailer. Alternative embodiments include four panels in a side-by-side arrangement or a business form embodiment wherein the additional adhesives are not employed.
