A sheet for temporarily marking a portion of a document. The sheet comprising an elongate layer of flexible polymeric material having a coating of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on a second end portion while being free of adhesive on both of the side surfaces along a first end portion thereof. The first end portion is visually distinctive, and the adhesive coated second end portion is generally transparent when adhered to a substrate. The second end portion has a coating along one of its side surfaces that visually distinguishes the second end portion from a substrate when the second end portion is adhered to a substrate while being sufficiently transparent to afford reading indicia on the substrate through the second end portion.
A sheet for temporarily marking a portion of a document, said sheet comprising an elongate layer of flexible polymeric material having opposite major side surfaces and first and second opposite ends, and having a coating of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on a second end portion of one of said side surfaces adjacent said second end while being free of adhesive on both of said side surfaces along a first nd portion thereof adjacent said first end, said first end portion being visually distinctive, and said adhesive coated second end portion being generally transparent when adhered to a substrate, wherein said second end portion has a light distinctive color or an indicia containing coating along one of said side surfaces that visually distinguishes the second end portion from a substrate when the second end portion is adhered to the substrate, said coating being sufficiently transparent to afford reading indicia on the substrate through the second end portion, wherein said light distinctive color coating or said indicia containing coating on said second end portion will reduce the placement of unwanted written information or signatures on said second end portion of said sheet.
