US 6,086,108 A · Controlled substance dispensing form

Abstract

A controlled substance dispensing form is provided. The form includes a face sheet, a liner ply, an imaging interface interposed between the face sheet and the liner ply, and an adhesive interposed between the face sheet and the liner ply. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a controlled substance dispensing form is provided comprising a face sheet, a liner ply, an imaging interface interposed between the face sheet and the liner ply, and an adhesive interposed between the face sheet and the liner ply to secure the face sheet to the liner ply. The liner ply is configured to define an upper liner ply surface, a lower liner ply surface, and a plurality of releasable liner ply portions. The adhesive is configured to define respective reusable adhesive portions. The face sheet is configured to define an upper face sheet surface and a lower face sheet surface and a plurality of label portions. The reusable adhesive portions are positioned to releasably adhere corresponding ones of the plurality of label portions to corresponding ones of the plurality of releasable liner ply portions. The reusable adhesive portions and the releasable liner ply portions are configured such that the reusable adhesive portions retain their properties of adhesion following release from the corresponding releasable liner ply portions. The imaging interface is configured such that an image impression made on the upper face sheet surface in one of the plurality of label portions creates a duplicate image on the upper liner ply surface.
