A document capable of providing information under the application of heat, which comprises a first support having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface bearing an information area including a visible principal image, and at least one of said first support or second support bearing at least one localized coating comprising a substantially colorless, non-pressure sensitive, heat-activatable chromogenic composition capable of producing a first color under the application of heat, the chromogenic composition comprising a chromogenic compound and a color developer. The chromogenic compound and the color developer are substantially colorless solids in physical contact prior to reaction, but which can chemically react to produce a visible colored image by application of heat at temperatures above room temperature. The information area is substantially free of chromogenic compounds, and free of color developers capable of reacting with chromogenic compounds to produce a visible colored image by application of heat.

Heat-sensitive chromogenic system

An assembly and method for making a card intermediate in which a series of spaced apart two layer laminates are arranged with the layers in face-to-face relation with a rupturable adhesive therebetween and a first of the layers being a transparent film, advancing the laminates toward a uniting station, providing a length of imprintable material having first and second surfaces with spaced areas of release material on the first surface and advancing the length toward the uniting station, adhesively uniting in the station the first layer of the series of laminates to the length in said spaced areas with each laminate extending beyond its united areas, and diecutting the length and the first layer to provide a generally rectangular closed perimeter diecut, the diecut also having a segment terminating short of the first layer and dividing the perimeter into two equal portions with one of the portions being within the area.

Protected card intermediate and method

An integrated pressure sensitive adhesive backed label assembly includes a security device such as an electronic article surveillance device, security tag or other antitheft device on a bottom side of the label so that the security device is not readily noticeable to the consumer. The label assembly can have the security device bonded to the adhesive backing of the label by separating the release liner from the label, placing the security device on the label and reapplying the release liner. Alternatively, as portions of the release liner can be cut and removed to expose a small area of the adhesive so that the security device can be attached directly to the label. The small area of the release liner can be cut and the security device attached to the cut portion so that the remaining portion of the release liner can be separated while leaving the cut portion and the security device attached to the label.

Electronic article surveillance label assembly and method of manufacture

A label assembly includes a label having pre-printed indicia or a printable face on an information side and a pressure sensitive adhesive on a back side. The label is releasably adhered to a front side of a transparent sheet. The transparent sheet includes a pressure sensitive adhesive on a back side thereof releasably adhered to a carrier sheet. The label assembly includes a label that can be printed by the ultimate user. The label can then be removed from the transparent sheet and applied to an article. The transparent sheet can then be removed from the backing sheet and applied over the label to provide a protective cover for the label.

Pressure sensitive label assembly

A card intermediate, as for identification, which includes a business form having one or more cards diecut into it and backed by a laminate of multi-ply film. An embodiment is illustrated where an exposed face of the laminate is reverse printed with alpha and/or numeric information so as to be readable when the card is removed from the form.

Card intermediate and method

An I D card intermediate which includes a business form having one or more I D cards diecut into it and backed by a laminate of multi-ply film.

I D card intermediate and method

A card intermediate, as for identification, which includes a business form having one or more cards diecut into it and backed by a laminate of multi-ply film.

A labeling device including a release liner and a label where the release liner is imprinted with variable information prior to being equipped with the usual release material, i.e., silicone coating.

Labeling device and method

A pharmacy form including a unitary, elongated sheet having a transverse diecut intermediate the ends thereof defining a label part and an information part in co-planar relation, printed label and information indicia on one face of the sheet and pressure sensitive adhesive on the other face of the sheet extending over said label part and a specified distance onto the information part.

Pharmacy form and method

An intermediate from an I.D. card and method in which paper equipped with a patch of release material is combined with a film carrying pressure sensitive adhesive. The paper is die-cut in a generally rectangular configuration and so also is the film in a fashion so as to permit folding of the film on itself to encapsulate the card.

Identification card intermediate and method

A label-equipped form having a release liner on the back of which is provided CB chemical and with CF chemical being provided in alignment on the top of the next adjacent ply.
