Binder strips on a carrier film, and method and apparatus for applying binder strips onto sheet goods

An arrangement comprising:

• a strip-shaped carrier film extending longitudinally in a lengthwise direction, and
• a plurality of binder strips which each have an elongate shape, and which each comprise an adherent portion extending along said elongate shape, an adhesive provided on a back surface of said adherent portion facing said carrier film, and a non-adherent portion extending parallel to said adherent portion along said elongate shape, wherein said adhesive is not provided on said non-adherent portion, and wherein at least two holes or pre-scored punches for forming holes are provided in said non-adherent portion,
• wherein said binder strips are arranged respectively offset one after another and spaced apart from one another in at least one row along said carrier film with respective free spaces between adjacent ones of said binder strips and with said elongate shape of each said binder strip and said adherent portion oriented perpendicular to said lengthwise direction of said strip-shaped carrier film,
• wherein each said binder strip has a length of said elongate shape that corresponds approximately to a width of said carrier film perpendicular to said lengthwise direction,
• wherein said adherent portions of said binder strips are removably adhered onto said carrier film by said adhesive, and said non-adherent portions of said binder strips non-adheringly extend over said carrier film in said lengthwise direction,
• wherein at least said adherent portion of each said binder strip is stiffer than said carrier film,
• further comprising an adhesive release coating provided on said carrier film or on said binder strips and adapted to release said adhesive if said carrier film is deflected over a sharp release edge, and
• further comprising a plurality of registration marks provided on said carrier film or on said binder strips, with a uniform spacing between successive adjacent ones of said registration marks corresponding to a pitch spacing of said binder strips arranged one after another along said carrier film.
