Abstract

A method for producing multiple devices for securing identification means to a mounting surface includes a mounting device having a upper surface of translucent plastic film having certain regions glued to a substrate of label stock beneath the film. A gap with opening between the label stock and the film forms a pocket into which an identification means may be inserted or removed. The label stock possesses a face having an adhesive coating which is exposed by a peel-away backing. An image area printed on the label stock prior to application of the plastic film overlay is visible through the pocket and up to the outer edges of each mounting device. The device is economically created in multiples using adhesive label stock in either roll or sheet form.

Claims3

Dependent claims

A method for producing multiple mounting devices for the securing of identification means to various surfaces comprising the steps of:

(1) obtaining a substrate of blank label stock having a top side, a rear side covered with adhesive opposite the top side, and a peel away backing,
(2) on the top side, printing a plurality of image areas and applying an adhesive in a predetermined pattern,
(3) adhering a translucent plastic overlay to the predetermined pattern of adhesive forming a plurality of enclosed pockets with boundaries,
(4) kiss-cutting through the overlay to the backing in order to demarcate multiple devices each having at least an outer edge, an open pocket and an image area,
(5) separating the kiss-cut label stock into individual mounting devices each having a discardable border that when discarded reveals the peel away backing around the image area.
