Abstract
A method of forming a partially perforated assembly comprising a perforated facestock material, an unperforated liner, and a self-adhesive adhering the perforated facestock material to the unperforated liner, the method comprising forming a temporary assembly including the perforated facestock material, the self-adhesive, and a temporary carrier adhered to the perforated facestock material by the self-adhesive, the perforated facestock material having been perforated by material removal of portions of the facestock material, removing the temporary carrier from its adhered relation to the perforated facestock material, and after the removing, adhering the unperforated liner to the perforated facestock material by the self-adhesive to form the partially perforated assembly.
Claims48
A method of forming a partially perforated assembly comprising a perforated facestock material, an unperforated liner having a release surface, and a self-adhesive adhering said perforated facestock material to said release surface of said unperforated liner, said method comprising:
- forming a temporary assembly including said perforated facestock material, said self-adhesive, and a temporary carrier adhered to said perforated facestock material by said self-adhesive, said perforated facestock material of said temporary assembly having been perforated by material removal of portions of the facestock material,
- removing said temporary carrier from its adhered relation to said perforated facestock material, and
- after said removing, adhering said release surface of said unperforated liner to said perforated facestock material by said self-adhesive to form said partially perforated assembly.
A method as claimed in claim1, wherein said material removal is performed by mechanical punching.
A method of forming a partially perforated assembly comprising a perforated facestock material, a perforated self-adhesive attached on one side thereof to said perforated facestock material and an unperforated liner attached to the other side of said self-adhesive, said method comprising:
- forming a temporary assembly including a facestock material, a self-adhesive, and a temporary carrier attached to said other side of said self-adhesive,
- perforating said facestock material and said self-adhesive and said temporary carrier simultaneously, and
- removing said temporary carrier and applying said unperforated liner to said other side of said self-adhesive.
A method of forming a partially perforated assembly comprising a perforated facestock material, an unperforated liner, and a self-adhesive adhering said perforated facestock material to said unperforated liner, said method comprising:
- forming a temporary assembly including said perforated facestock material, said self-adhesive, and a temporary carrier adhered to said perforated facestock material by said self-adhesive,
- removing said temporary carrier from its adhered relation to said perforated facestock material, and
- after said removing, adhering said unperforated liner to said perforated facestock material by said self-adhesive to form said partially perforated assembly,
- wherein said facestock is perforated by laser cutting.
A method of forming a partially perforated assembly including a perforated facestock material, an unperforated liner, and a self-adhesive adhering said perforated facestock material to said unperforated liner, said method comprising:
- forming a temporary assembly including said perforated facestock material, said self-adhesives and a temporary carrier adhered to said perforated facestock material by said self-adhesive, said perforated facestock material of said temporary assembly having been perforated by material removal of portions of the facestock material,
- removing said temporary carrier from its adhered relation to said perforated facestock material, wherein parts of said self-adhesive adhered to said temporary carrier are removed from said assembly by said removing said temporary carrier, and
- after said removing, adhering said unperforated liner to said perforated facestock material by remaining parts of said self-adhesive.
A method of forming partially perforated assembly comprising a perforated facestock material having a plurality of holes, an unperforated release liner having a release surface, and said perforated facestock material having a perforated self-adhesive adhering said perforated facestock material to said unperforated release liner, said perforated facestock material and said perforated self-adhesive comprising a perforated one-way vision control material, said method comprising:
- forming a temporary assembly including a facestock material having a self-adhesive on a side thereof, and a temporary carrier being adhered to said side of said facestock material by said self-adhesive,
- using a laser to form a plurality of cuts through said facestock material without cutting through said temporary carrier;
- separating said temporary carrier from said facestock material, wherein as a result of said plurality of cuts parts of said facestock material and parts of said self-adhesive adhered to said parts of said facestock material are retained by said temporary carrier and removed from said facestock material upon said separating to thereby form said holes in said facestock material and thus convert said facestock material to said perforated facestock material having said perforated self-adhesive, and
- after said separating, adhering said perforated facestock material to said release surface of said unperforated liner via said perforated self-adhesive to form said partially perforated assembly, said perforated facestock material and said perforated self-adhesive being removable from said unperforated liner to form said perforated one-way vision control material.
A method of forming a partially perforated assembly comprising a perforated facestock material, a base material, and a self-adhesive adhering said perforated facestock material to said base material, said method comprising:
- forming a temporary assembly including said perforated facestock material, said self-adhesive and a temporary carrier adhered to said perforated facestock material by said self-adhesive, said perforated facestock material of said temporary assembly having been perforated by material removal of portions of the facestock material,
- removing said temporary carrier from its adhered relation to said perforated facestock material, and adhering an unperforated liner to said perforated facestock by said self-adhesive,
- removing the liner from its adhered relation to said perforated facestock material, and
- adhering said perforated facestock material to said base material by said self-adhesive.
