A treatment for silicone liner coatings after undergoing UV curing. The silicone coats a liner to facilitate its removal from the adhesive attached to a label. The silicone, while a liquid, forms a layer on the liner. UV radiation cures the liquid silicone and causes it to become a coherent, virtually solid layer. Heating the cured silicone layer and allowing it to rest for a short period of time then permits the immediate contact with it of the label's adhesive side without incurring inseparability of the silicone-coated liner from the adhesive-coated label.

Post-cure treatment of silicone coating for liners in pressure-sensitive labels

An envelope assembly 12 including a front 22 and a back 24 joined together by adhesives 38, 52, 54, 58, 60, 62 and 64 form a pocket and a tear strip 124 in the back 24 for opening the envelope and achieving access to the pocket including an elongated line 110 of adjacent Y-shaped cuts 112 in the back 24 with the base 114 of each Y-shaped cut 112 terminating at a location between the arms 116 of an adjacent Y-shaped cut 112, and an elongated slit 118 in the back 24 and intersecting the line 110.

Business form such as an envelope

A business form for use in shipping operations including a sheet 22 of face stock material having pressure sensitive adhesive 28 on one side thereof, a release liner 24 removably adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive 28, a transparent sheet 16 adhered to along two spaced marginal edges to the face stock sheet 22 and having a marginal edge 60 stopping short of the corresponding edge 62 of the face stock sheet, and at least one pressure sensitive imaging data sheet 18, 20 between the transparent sheet 16 and the face stock sheet and having marginal edges 70, 72, 74, 76 inward of the two marginal edges of the transparent sheet 16 so as to be free from adhesion thereto and having a third marginal edge 64, 66 extending past the one marginal edge 60 of the transparent sheet 16.

Mailer-like business form with transparent front

An envelope assembly including first and second plies 10, 70 respectively defining a front and back of an envelope along with an intermediate insert ply 40 having a message section 50 and an attachment section 52 with the message section 50 being connected by a small frangible tie 56 to the attaching section 52. A U-shaped glue line 84 secures the first and second plies 10, 70 together and one of the plies 10, 70 is provided with a tab 22 firmly secured to the attaching section 52. The ties 56 provide registration during manufacture and subsequent printing and yet are easily ruptured when the tab 22 is stripped from the form, taking the attachment section 52 with it to thereby free the message section 50 for ready removal from the envelope.
