Abstract
A multi-purpose form with a plurality of label types on a single business form includes an adhesive-backed label, a label with a front-facing exposed adhesive, and labels which can form laminated water-resistant tags. The business form has a plurality of layers. The form includes die cuts which allow for layers to be peeled away from the form, exposing adhesive layers and forming the different label types.
Claims20
A business form having a laminate composite structure comprising:
- a first printable layer of material including a front surface and a back surface, the front surface containing a plurality of printed characters;
- a second layer contacting the back surface of said first printable layer;
- a third layer including a front surface and a back surface;
- the front surface of the third layer contacting the second layer and releasably coupled to the second layer;
- a fourth layer contacting the back surface of said third layer and releasably coupled to the third layer;
- and
- a fifth layer including a front surface and a back surface, the front surface of the fifth layer contacting the fourth layer;
- wherein said first printable layer includes at least one first front-side die cut such that the composite business form is separable into at least two portions.

A method for creating a business form having a laminate composite structure comprising:
- providing a first printable layer of material including a front surface and a back surface, the front surface readily printable;
- providing a second layer contacting the back surface of said first printable layer;
- providing a third layer including a front surface and a back surface;
- the front surface of the third layer contacting the second layer and releasably coupled to the second layer;
- providing a fourth layer contacting the back surface of said third layer and releasably coupled to the third layer;
- and
- providing a fifth layer including a front surface and a back surface, the front surface of the fifth layer contacting the fourth layer;
- pressing the first through fifth layers together to form a composite;
- and
- adding at least one first front-side die cut such that the composite business form is separable into at least two portions.

A business form having a laminate composite structure comprising:
- at least one printable layer of material wherein said printable layer includes at least one front-side die cut such that the composite business form is separable into at least a first portion and a second portion;
- wherein said first portion includes
- at least one adhesive layer at least one layer below said printable layer;
- at least one backing layer at least one layer below said printable layer;
- at least one front-side die cut on said first portion forming a first outer peripheral edge and a first die cut area lying within the first outer peripheral edge;
- wherein said first die cut area of the printable layer is releasably coupled to the at least one backing layer of the first portion such that the first die cut area of the printable layer and the at least one adhesive layer of the first portion when separated from the at least one backing layer form an adhesive-backed label;
- and
- wherein said second portion includes
- at least one adhesive layer at least one layer below said printable layer;
- at least one backing layer at least one layer below said printable layer;
- at least one front-side die cut on said second portion forming a second outer peripheral edge and a second die cut area lying within the first outer peripheral edge;
- wherein said second outer peripheral edge of the printable layer is releasably coupled to the at least one backing layer of the second portion such that the outer peripheral edge of the printable layer when separated from the composite form exposes the at least one adhesive layer of said section portion.
