Removable insert assemblies and methods for making

An insert assembly comprising:

• a substrate;
• an insert having a back surface disposed toward said substrate and a front surface disposed opposite from said substrate;
• an oversheet, having at least three edges, a bottom surface disposed toward said insert, and a top surface disposed away from the insert, said oversheet overlying said insert such that said insert is disposed between said substrate and said oversheet;
• said oversheet affixed to said substrate at least at two of said edges such that said insert may be removed from between said substrate and said oversheet while said oversheet remains affixed to said substrate;
• further comprising a first adhesive material on the bottom surface of said oversheet, said first adhesive material contacting said substrate and the front surface of said insert;
• and,
• wherein said oversheet comprises a main body and two or more margins perforably connected to said main body, and said first adhesive material on the bottom surface of said main body of the oversheet is inactivated.

An insert assembly comprising:

• a substrate;
• an insert having a back surface disposed toward said substrate and a front surface disposed opposite from said substrate;
• an oversheet, having at least three edges, a bottom surface disposed toward said insert, and a top surface disposed away from the insert, said oversheet overlying said insert such that said insert is disposed between said substrate and said oversheet;
• said oversheet affixed to said substrate at least at two of said edges such that said insert may be removed from between said substrate and said oversheet while said oversheet remains affixed to said substrate;
• a first adhesive material on the bottom surface of said oversheet, said first adhesive material contacting said substrate and the front surface of said insert;
• and,
• on said back surface of said insert, a second adhesive.

A method for making an insert assembly, comprising:

• providing a substrate;
• providing a magazine containing inserts, each insert having a back surface, a front surface, and at least three edges;
• feeding said substrate so that said substrate is disposed adjacent to said magazine in a position for receiving a insert from said magazine;
• depositing onto said substrate one or more inserts from said magazine such that the back surface of said insert contacts said substrate;
• depositing onto said insert and said substrate an oversheet having a top surface and a bottom surface, such that said oversheet extends beyond two of said edges of said insert and a portion of said bottom surface of said oversheet contacts said substrate:
• and,
• further comprising inactivating at least a portion of said adhesive material.
