Abstract
A form/label combination provides a label and multiple receipts which may be simply constructed from two continuous sheets of paper in one pass through only a coater and a label press. The first sheet of the form/label combination provides an adhesive label on the left side, and a receipt on the right. The label is releasably attached to the left side of the second sheet, while the receipt is detachably attached to the right side of the second sheet. An image-transfer mechanism is provided between the two sheets so that images impressed on the first sheet are transferred to the second sheet. A method for manufacturing such a form/label combination is also simple and easy to practice.

A form/label combination consisting essentially of:
- a first sheet having a first portion, a second portion, a front face and a back face;
- a second sheet substantially coextensive with and located behind said first sheet, said second sheet having a first portion substantially coextensive with said first sheet first portion, a second portion substantially coextensive with said first sheet second portion, a front face and a back face;
- a first portion attachment mechanism which releasably attaches said first sheet first portion to said second sheet first portion;
- a second portion attachment mechanism which attaches said first sheet second portion to said second sheet;
- a mechanism which allows ready detachment of said first sheet first portion from said first sheet second portion;
- indicia imaged on at least one of said first and second sheet front faces;
- and
- image transfer means for transferring images imposed on said first sheet front face to said second sheet front face;
- said sheets and mechanisms being positioned and provided so that when information is placed on said front face of said first sheet, said first sheet first portion is detachable from said second sheet and used as a label, said first sheet second portion is detachable from said second sheet to provide a separate record of said information placed thereon, and said second sheet provides a record of said information placed on said front face of said first sheet.
A form/label combination comprising:
- a first sheet having a first portion, a second portion, a front face and a back face;
- a second sheet substantially coextensive with and located behind said first sheet, said second sheet having a first portion substantially coextensive with said first sheet first portion, a second portion substantially coextensive with said first sheet second portion, a front face and a back face;
- a first portion attachment mechanism which releasably attaches said first sheet first portion to said second sheet first portion, said first attachment portion consisting essentially of a pressure-sensitive adhesive provided on said back face of said first sheet first portion;
- and a cooperating adhesive release material coating provided on said front face of said second sheet first portion;
- a second portion attachment mechanism which attaches said first sheet second portion to said second sheet;
- and
- image transfer means for transferring images imposed on said first sheet front face to said second sheet front face;
- said sheets and mechanisms being positioned and provided so that when information is placed on said front face of said first sheet, said first sheet first portion is detachable from said second sheet and used as a label, said first sheet second portion is detachable from said second sheet to provide a separate record of said information placed thereon, and said second sheet provides a record of said information placed on said front face of said first sheet.
