The invention discloses form constructions and methods of making form constructions comprising a substrate having a printable surface portion and a sticker. In preferred embodiment the sticker is a face adhering validation sticker and/or the form substrate comprises a cutout with the viewing surface of the sticker releasably attached to the perimeter of the cutout and exposed through the cutout.

Method of making printable forms comprising stickers and articles

Electromagnetic and electrical apparatuses use a laminate structure having a thermoplastic elastomer with variable dielectric loss as a dielectric layer. A conductive layer laminated to the thermoplastic elastomer allow use for applications such as printed circuit boards and slot antennas. Additional conductive and dielectric layers still allow use as a printed circuit board as well as other antenna structures. Some embodiments of the apparatuses disclosed exhibit many desired properties, such as flexibility, conformability and weatherability.

Electrical and electromagnetic apparatuses using laminated structures

A graphic composite having a heat detackifiable adhesive, the composite comprising a carrier film; a graphic design adhered to the top surface of the carrier film; a protective coating lying over the graphic design; a heat detackifiable premask adhesive layer overlying the protective coating; and a premask carrier web adhered to the premask adhesive layer.
