Printed sheet products with integral, removable, radio frequency identification elements
First Claim
1. A multilayer, integral, individual printed sheet product comprising:
- a flexible sheet core having major opposing first and second sides, the core being printed on at least one of the major sides, the printing on at least the one major side including at least a first variable data field with a unique printed code;
a first flexible cover strip integrally and permanently secured to the first side of the core;
a radio frequency responsive data storage element permanently and integrally fixed together with at least one of the core and the first cover strip; and
scoring extending at least sufficiently through the sheet product to define a first identification element removable from a remainder of the sheet product, the first removable identification element including at least the radio frequency responsive data storage element and only part of the first flexible cover strip, and a remainder of the first flexible cover strip being left on a remainder of the core bearing at least the first printed variable date field with unique printed code.

Abstract
Each printed sheet product includes a core of flexible, microvoided polymer sheet material and a planar RFID assembly encoded with a unique electro/magnetic code permanently and integrally joined together with the core. The microvoided sheet material collapses around the core so the sheet product remains planar. Scoring defines one or more individual identification elements removable from a remainder of the sheet product that include at least a first element with RFID assembly but only part of the core. A separate magnetic strip storing its own unique data magnetically can be provided on the first removable element even at least partially overlying the RFID assembly for independent identification operation.
