Abstract
A label badge sheet construction including a facestock sheet releasably adhered to a liner sheet. A weakened separation line in the facestock sheet defines at least one label. After the sheet construction has been passed through a printer or copier and desired indicia printed on the at least one label the printed label can be removed to be used as a visitor'"'"'s badge or the like. Preferably, first and second labels are formed with a fold line separating them, and a weakened separation line through the liner sheet forms a liner panel which is adhered to the back of the first label. With the first and second labels and the liner panel removed as a label assembly and the labels folded on the fold line, through-holes through the first and second labels and the liner panel are aligned. A lanyard or clip can be passed through the aligned through-holes. The liner panel thereby reinforces the through-holes. The invention further includes the assembled label badge, the method of forming same, the method for manufacturing the sheets and the kit which includes sheets, software, hardware, etc.

-
a liner sheet; a facestock sheet made of a flexible and printable material releasably adhered to the liner sheet; the facestock sheet being cut to define therein a single identification badge section; and the construction being fed into a printer for printing identification badge indicia including a photograph for exactly one identification badge onto said single identification badge section, such that after printing the identification badge section may be peeled away from the construction to define a single photographic identification badge; and wherein the facestock sheet further has at least one weakened line disposed outside of the identification badge section, the weakened line being spaced apart from the identification badge section by at least some width of facestock material and extending from at least near a first edge to at least near a second edge of the facestock sheet to allow a leading edge of the label sheet to be more easily curled. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
