A strip for dispensing adhesive notes is described. The strip includes a row of at least first, second and third notes disposed consecutively in lateral alignment removably adhered to a row of at least first, second and third release sheets disposed consecutively in lateral alignment such that each note is disposed in alternate staggered relation to each release sheet. The individual note may be removed with its corresponding laterally offset release sheet in order to avoid a continuous release sheet stream at the point of dispensing. The notes and release sheets may be separated by transverse score lines, perforation lines, or lines of weakness in order to facilitate their removal from the strip. The strip may be placed in a row form and placed in a dispenser as part of a dispensing kit.

Adhesive note dispensing roll having individual release sheets

Adhesive sheet assemblies are described comprising a continuous carrier in roll form, a series of longitudinally spaced adhesive sheets on the carrier, and at least one cut in the web defining, for each adhesive sheet, one cover piece cut from the carrier such that the cover piece has an outer peripheral edge within the first portion on the backside of the adhesive sheet, so that the cover piece may be separated from the web and retained on the first portion of the backside of the adhesive sheet when the adhesive sheet is peeled off the carrier due to adhesion between the cover piece and the adhesive sheet. Preferably, at least 40 percent of the total length of the outer peripheral edge of each cover piece is substantially in registration with the outer peripheral edge of the adhesive sheet to which it is adhered. Each adhesive sheet comprises a flexible polymer film, polymer-reinforced sheet or cloth and is capable of being removed from a substrate to which it is adhered without leaving an adhesive residue on the substrate. Kits for dispensing the adhesive sheet assembly, processes for making the adhesive sheet assembly and processes for printing the same are also described.

Markable repositionable adhesive sheet dispensing roll for use in an industrial setting

The present invention provides a label applicator for removing pressure-sensitive, very thin, sub-surface printed labels from a web and applying the labels to PCMCIA memory cards carried on a shuttle such that the labels are more reliably and exactly placed than conventional labelers. The label applicator includes a peel plate for removing the adhesive-backed labels from a web and a vacuum applicator drum for transferring the labels from the peel plate to an unlabeled article carried on the shuttle. The shuttle is provided with micrometers to separately adjust the position of the memory cards about three independent axes to allow greater precision in label placement. Placement of labels on the memory cards is also enhanced through the use of a number of sensors which determine relative positions of the labels on the transfer drum and the linearly moving shuttle so that rotation of the drum can be synchronized to match movement of the shuttle.
