Abstract
An identification device includes a one-sheet carbonless paper system having a carbonless paper layer with a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein a mark is made on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer when a corresponding impression is made on the carbonless paper layer. The identification device further includes a desensitizing ink portion disposed on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer. The desensitizing ink portion is defined by desensitizing ink applied to a portion of the top surface of the carbonless paper layer. A mark is substantially prevented from being made on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer in the desensitizing ink portion.
Claims5
An identification device, consisting of:
- (a) a protective top layer having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- (b) a carbonless paper layer disposed beneath and engaging the bottom surface of the protective top layer, the carbonless paper layer having a top surface and a bottom surface and a coating of micro-encapsulate dye or ink and reactive clay on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer, wherein a mark is made on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer when a corresponding impression is made on the protective top layer;
- (c) a desensitizing ink portion on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer, the desensitizing ink portion defined by desensitizing ink applied to at least a portion of the coating of micro-encapsulate dye or ink and reactive clay on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer, wherein a mark is substantially prevented from being made on the top surface of the carbonless paper layer in the desensitizing ink portion;
- (d) wherein the carbonless paper layer is smaller in size than the protective top layer such that a circumferential edge portion is defined by the protective top layer when the carbonless paper layer is positioned beneath the protective top layer;
- and
- (e) an adhesive layer secured to the bottom surface of the carbonless paper layer and the bottom surface of the protective top layer.
