Abstract
An advertising assembly which comprises a paper or polymeric backing layer having opposite major surfaces printed with advertising indicia; and a plurality of sheets each comprising a layer of flexible polymeric material having a coating of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on one of its side surfaces on a second end portion adjacent a second end while being free of adhesive on both of its side surfaces along a first end portion. The sheets are releasably adhered in parallel rows to the first surface of the backing layer by the coatings of pressure sensitive adhesive with the sheets in each row being positioned with their side edge surfaces adjacent and with their first end portions aligned, and can be printed with advertising indicia.
Claims14
An advertising assembly, said assembly comprising:
- a paper backing layer having opposite first and second major printable surfaces, said major surfaces being free of release coatings;
- advertising indicia printed on at least one of said surfaces and printed in register with said one surface;
- and
- a plurality of sheets, each of said sheets comprising a layer of flexible polymeric material, having opposite major side surfaces, first and second opposite ends, opposite edge surfaces between said major side surfaces and said first and second opposite ends, and having a coating of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on one of said side surfaces along a second end portion adjacent said second end while being free of adhesive on both of said side surfaces along a first end portion thereof adjacent said first end, said first end portion being visually distinctive, and said adhesive coated second end portion, when free of printing, being generally transparent when adhered to a substrate;
- said sheets being releasably adhered in parallel rows of the sheets to the first surface of the backing layer by said coatings of pressure sensitive adhesive with said sheets in each row of the sheets being positioned with the edge surfaces of adjacent sheets in the row of sheets adjacent to each other and with their first end portions aligned.
An advertising assembly, said assembly comprising:
- a backing layer having opposite first and second major surfaces, at least one of said major surfaces being free of release coatings and being printable;
- advertising indicia printed on at least said one of said surfaces and printed in register with said one surface;
- and
- a plurality of die cut sheets, each of said sheets comprising a layer of flexible polymeric material, having opposite major side surfaces, first and second opposite ends, and opposite edge surfaces between said major side surfaces and said first and second opposite ends, and having a coating of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on one of said side surfaces along a second end portion adjacent said second end while being free of adhesive on both of said side surfaces along a first end portion thereof adjacent said first end;
- said sheets being releasably adhered in parallel rows of the sheets to the first surface of the backing layer by said coatings of pressure sensitive adhesive with said sheets in each row of the sheets being positioned with the edge surfaces of adjacent sheets in the row of sheets adjacent to each other and with their first end portions aligned;
- and
- at least some of said sheets are printed with indicia on at least one of said first and second end portions.
