Business form with removable label, and method for producing the same

A method of producing a laminate card, including the steps of

• (a) providing a business form including
• (i) a substrate sheet having a back side, a front side, and an outer peripheral edge;
• (ii) at least one piece of plastic having an outer peripheral edge;
• (iii) a first layer of adhesive intermediate said piece of plastic and said back side of said sheet, said layer of adhesive securing said piece of plastic to a limited area on said backside of said sheet such that the outer peripheral edge of the piece of plastic generally lies within the outer peripheral edge of said sheet;
• (iv) a layer of backing material having an outer peripheral edge;
• (v) a second layer of adhesive intermediate said layer of backing material and said piece of plastic, said second layer of adhesive securing said backing material to said piece of plastic such that the outer peripheral edge of said piece of backing material generally lies within the outer peripheral edge of said sheet;
• (vi) a card area die cut in said sheet above said layer of backing material and having an outer peripheral edge, the outer peripheral edge of said die cut card area generally lying within the outer peripheral edge of said piece of plastic and the outer peripheral edge of said backing material,
• (vii) a card adhesive layer die cut in said first adhesive layer;
• (viii) a card plastic layer die cut in said piece of plastic above said layer of backing material and having an outer peripheral edge coterminating with the outer peripheral edge of said card area;
• (b) imprinting said front side of said sheet;
• and,
• (c) peeling said die cut card area and said die cut card plastic layer off of said layer of backing material and away from said sheet to form a die cut laminate card.

A business form having a die cut laminate card removable therefrom, said form including

• (a) a substrate sheet having a back side, a front side, and an outer peripheral edge;
• (b) at least one piece of plastic having an outer peripheral edge;
• (c) a first layer of adhesive intermediate said piece of plastic and said back side of said sheet, said layer of adhesive securing said piece of plastic to said backside of said sheet;
• (d) a layer of backing material having an outer peripheral edge;
• (e) a second layer of adhesive intermediate said layer of backing material and said piece of plastic, said second layer of adhesive securing said backing material to said piece of plastic such that the outer peripheral edge of said piece of backing material generally lies within the outer peripheral edge of said sheet;
• (f) a card area die cut in said sheet above said layer of backing material and having an outer peripheral edge, the outer peripheral edge of said die cut card area generally lying within the outer peripheral edge of said piece of plastic and the outer peripheral edge of said backing material;
• (g) a card adhesive layer die cut in said first adhesive layer;
• and,
• (h) a card plastic layer die cut in said piece of plastic above said layer of backing material and having an outer peripheral edge coterminating with the outer peripheral edge of said card area;
• said card area, said card adhesive layer die cut in said first adhesive layer, and said card plastic layer peelable from said layer of backing material and away from said sheet to produce a laminate card.

A business form having a die cut laminate card removable therefrom, said form including

• (a) a substrate sheet having a back side, a front side, and an outer peripheral edge;
• (b) at least one piece of transparent plastic having an outer peripheral edge;
• (c) a first layer of adhesive intermediate said piece of plastic and said back side of said sheet, said layer of adhesive securing said piece of plastic to said backside of said sheet;
• (d) a layer of backing material having an outer peripheral edge;
• (e) a second layer of adhesive intermediate said layer of backing material and said piece of plastic, said second layer of adhesive securing said backing material to said piece of plastic;
• (f) a card area die cut in said sheet of paper above said layer of backing material and having an outer peripheral edge, the outer peripheral edge of said die cut card area generally lying within the outer peripheral edge of said piece of plastic and the outer peripheral edge of said backing material;
• (g) a card adhesive layer die cut in said first adhesive layer;
• and,
• (h) a card plastic layer die cut in said piece of plastic above said layer of backing material and having an outer peripheral edge coterminating with the outer peripheral edge of said card area;
• said card area, said card adhesive layer die cut in said first adhesive layer, and said card plastic layer peelable from said layer of backing material and away from said sheet to produce a laminate card;
• and, said card area including a first side and a second side, said second side adjacent and contacting said card adhesive layer die cut in said first adhesive layer, said first side and said second side of said card area being imprinted.

A plastic laminate business form having a die cut area removable therefrom, said form including

• (a) a substrate sheet having a back side, a front side, and an outer peripheral edge;
• (b) a thin, compressible, elastic, pliable polymer layer having a thickness in the range of 0.001 to 0.006 inch and having an outer peripheral edge spaced apart from the outer peripheral edge of said substrate sheet;
• (c) a layer of adhesive intermediate said polymer layer and said back side of said sheet, said layer of adhesive having a bonding strength in the range of 0.05 ounce to sixteen ounces and securing said polymer layer to said backside of said sheet;
• and
• (d) a removable panel die cut in said substrate sheet above said polymer layer and having an outer peripheral edge, the outer peripheral edge of said panel generally lying within the outer peripheral edge of said polymer layer, said panel having top and bottom surfaces and being peelable from said polymer layer;
• said adhesive layer including a central area intermediate said die cut panel and said polymer layer, substantially all of said central area of said adhesive layer adhering to said polymer layer when said panel is peeled away from said polymer layer.
