Abstract
A simple label-type business form is provided that allows a record sheet to be produced at the same time that indicia is applied to the label. The business form includes a label construction having a top face on which indicia is readily applied and a bottom face containing pressure sensitive adhesive; a release sheet having at least one opening; and a self-imaging sheet held in contact with a release sheet on the opposite side of the release sheet from the label construction by the label construction pressure sensitive adhesive. The release sheet preferably has rows and columns of openings, at least three openings in each row and column, and the label construction is a sheet having a number of labels interconnected together, at least one release sheet opening being associated with each of the labels. The self-imaging sheet may have adhesive applied to its bottom face, and a release liner covering that adhesive so that the self-imaging sheet also is a label. Indicia applied on the top face of the label cosntruction--as by a writing instrument or an impact printer--is transferred to the self-imaging face and duplicated on the self-imaging sheet.

13. A method of constructing a record for a label, utilizing a label construction having a top face on which indicia may be applied, and a bottom face coated with pressure sensitive adhesive, a self-imaging sheet having an upper self-imaging face, and a release sheet having at least one opening therein allowing the adhesive from the label construction to engage and hold the self-imaging sheet upper face, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) stacking the label construction, self-imaging sheet, and release sheet so that the release sheet is sandwiched between the self-imaging face of the self-imaging sheet, and the bottom face of the label construction, the self-imaging sheet engaged by adhesive from the label construction; (b) applying indicia on the top face of the label construction by impacting it, so that the impact transfers to the self-imaging face and is duplicated thereon; and (c) detaching the label construction indicia-containing portion from the release sheet and applying it to a desired surface, and removing the self-imaging sheet from contact with the release sheet so that the self-imaging sheet provides a record copy of the label construction. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
