A stamp product is described which is self-adhesive and adheres to a release liner. The product is imprinted with stamp graphics and perforated about the periphery of the graphics and through the liner to define each stamp. The liner is cut opposite each stamp making each stamp accessible by tearing both liner and stamp at the perforations or by removal of the liner at each stamp and then tearing the stamp at the perforations.

Self-adhesive stamp construction

This invention relates to an article useful as a substrate for security printing comprising a pre-cut facestock capable of being printed, a pressure sensitive adhesive having a first and second surface, and a release liner, wherein the first surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive is bonded to the facestock and the second surface is releasably bonded to the release liner, and wherein the bond strength of the releasable bond between the pressure sensitive adhesive and the release liner is greater than the temporary bonds formed with an ink and the printable surface of the facestock. The articles and methods of the present invention involve articles useful as facestocks for security printing. In one embodiment, the invention relates to the preparation and printing of stamps. An advantage of the present articles and methods is the use of articles with a pressure sensitive adhesive and a release layer, which do not lift off during printing. The bond strength of the releasable layer is greater than the temporary bonds formed with the ink and ink applicator during printing.
