Abstract
A business form is provided that can be readily attached to, and then detached from (without adhesive residue remaining on it) an appliance or packaging for an appliance. The business form can have warranty and/or service contract information printed on it. The form includes first, second and third plies, the third ply sandwiched between the first and second plies, with adhesive for attaching the plies together along their peripheral edges. A reply envelope is nested within and between the plies, and a pattern of readily removable adhesive is disposed on the outer face of the second ply. The adhesive is preferably provided by transfer tape, which includes a substrate, with permanent adhesive on the opposite face from the readily removable adhesive, and with the permanent adhesive covered by release paper. When the form is removed from the packaging or appliance, it is detached at lines of weakness near the adhesive connecting the plies together, and then the service contract within it is filled out, inserted into the reply envelope, and mailed to the reply addressee.
