The opposite side of the base sheet can be coated with a low-tack adhesive and covered with a release liner which can be peeled away for affixing the window cling to the glass of a window. Where the base sheet is a static cling it can be applied directly to the glass without an adhesive. An image of text and/or graphics can be printed on the exposed surface of the metalized laminate unreversed. Where the base sheet is transparent, another image of text and/or graphics can be printed on a surface of the base sheet reversed before affixation of the printed base sheet surface to the metalized laminate for viewing unreversed through the unprinted side of the transparent base sheet. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A window sign comprising, a base sheet having a first surface and an opposite second surface, a metalized laminate having a first surface and an opposite second surface, a layer of lamination adhesive in contact with said first surface of said base sheet and said second surface of said metalized laminate, said lamination adhesive adhering said base sheet and metalized laminate together, wherein said second surface of said base sheet is coated with an adhesive and further comprising a peelable release liner adhered to said adhesive coated base sheet second surface. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A window sign according to claim 1 wherein said base sheet comprises a static cling, and further comprising a peelable release liner adhered to said second surface of said base sheet. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A window sign according to claim 1 wherein said first surface of said metalized laminate is printed with a first image unreversed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) A window sign according to claim 3 wherein at least a portion of said first image is translucent and light reflected by said metalized laminate is transmitted through said first image portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) A window sign according to claim 3 wherein said base sheet is transparent. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) A window sign according to claim 5 wherein said first surface of said base sheet is printed with a second image in reverse that is visible unreversed through said second surface of said base sheet, said window sign being a two sided window sign, said first image being unreversed and visible and said second image not being visible when said sign is viewed from one side, and said second image being unreversed and visible and said first image not being visible when said sign is viewed from an opposite side. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) A window sign according to claim 1 wherein said base sheet is opaque. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) A window sign according to claim 1 wherein said base sheet is transparent. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) A window sign according to claim 8 wherein said first surface of said base sheet is printed with a second image in reverse that is visible unreversed through said second surface of said base sheet. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A window sign according to claim 9 wherein an area of said metalized laminate is visible through said second surface of said base sheet. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) A window sign according to claim 9 wherein at least a portion of said second image is translucent and light reflected by said metalized laminate is transmitted through said second image. ### Claim 12 A method of making a window sign comprising, adhering a first surface of a base sheet to a second surface of a metalized laminate having a first surface opposite said second surface, printing said first surface of said materialized laminate with a first image unreversed, wherein said base sheet is transparent and further comprising, before adhering said first surface of said base sheet to said second surface of said metalized laminae, printing said first surface of said base sheet with a second image reversed, said second image being at least partially visible through said second surface of said base sheet unreversed. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) A method of making a window sign according to claim 12 wherein said base sheet is transparent and further comprising printing said first surface of said base sheet with a second image reversed, said second image being visible unreversed through said second surface of said base sheet. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) A method according to claim 12 further comprising coating said second surface of said base sheet with an adhesive and applying a peelable release liner to said adhesive on said base sheet second surface. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) A method according to claim 12 wherein said base sheet comprises a static cling, and further comprising applying a peelable release liner to said base sheet second surface. ### Claim 16 A window sign comprising, a transparent base sheet having a first surface and an opposite second surface, wherein said first surface of said base sheet is printed with a second image in reverse that is visible unreversed through said second surface of said base sheet, a metalized laminate having a first surface printed with a first image unreversed and an opposite second surface, a layer of lamination adhesive in contact with said first surface of said base sheet and said second surface of said metalized laminate, said lamination adhesive adhering said base sheet and metalized laminate together, said window sign being a two sided window sign, said first image being unreversed and visible and said second image not being visible when said sign is viewed from one side, and said second image being unreversed and visible and said first image not being visible when said sign is viewed from an opposite side. ### Claim 17 A method of making a window sign comprising, adhering a first surface of a base sheet to a second surface of a metalized laminate having a first surface opposite said second surface, coating said second surface of said base sheet with an adhesive and applying a peelable release liner to said adhesive on said base sheet second surface.
