Security Sticker and Method for Banking Cards

Номер: US20150079326A1

The present invention relates to banking card stickers that provide protection of information displayed on banking cards, by allowing the user to apply an adhesive backed, tamper evident and opaque sticker over all but the last four numbers of the user's card on the front and back of the card, the card code number on either the front or rear of the card, and the card's signature block. Each strip is adhesive backed and opaque. Different embodiments of the security stickers are provided for the user to choose for different kinds of banking cards. An adhesive sticker kit for banking cards may have at least two adhesive stickers covering the front and back of the bank account numbers displayed on the banking cards, at least one sticker of different size covering the security code of the banking cards, another sticker covering the signature block, and at least one sticker displays account information protection advisory statements. The security sticker substrate has a top layer that will crack if someone attempts to remove the sticker from the card, thereby alerting the cardholder that someone has tampered with the banking card. The cardholder may then notify the bank service provider that the card has been compromised.

TEMPORARILY REMOVABLE REVERSE-PRINTED LABEL ASSEMBLY

Номер: US20170132956A1
Принадлежит:

The present invention relates to an adhesive-backed printed pressure sensitive cut label assembly with easy temporary removability, wherein the portion of the label forming the label stock may be printed on the back- or reverse-side of the label face stock and whereby the printed surface is applied with a hot melt or acrylic adhesive that ensures easy short-term removability from a container surface and reapplication thereto. The label stock is laminated to a base stock comprising a paper or polymeric release liner coated with silicone or other adhesive release coating. During manufacturing of the label assembly, the label stock and base stock are simultaneously fed to laminating rollers following a die-cutting process, whereby the two are joined. One feature of the invention is the ease of temporary removability after application to the surface of a container whereby there is no adhesion of the ink printed on the label to the container surface itself. An additional feature is the elimination of the need for an overlamination of the label face stock when using a reverse-printed label face stock over which an appropriate adhesive is applied 1. A label assembly comprising a release liner coated with a layer of silicone sufficient to produce adhesion to a label face stock and easy release of the label face stock when applied to a container surface; an adhesive layer that permits easy short-term removability after application to a container surface with 100% ink adhesion to a label surface; and a die-cut label face stock that is printed with ink on at least one surface and laminated to the release liner using the adhesive applied to a back or reverse side of the printed label face stock; wherein the release liner is a 40-150 gauge polymeric film , and wherein there is no overlamination on face stock that is surface-printed.2.

ENCAPSULATED SIGNAGE AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION

Номер: US20150317920A1
Автор: Virmalo Udo
Принадлежит: NATIONAL MARKER COMPANY

An article of manufacture () in the form of a sign or label comprises a disclosed embodiment, produced in accordance with an example method. A substrate () is provided which forms a substantially planar surface area having a desired shape, thickness and size. A design layer () is formed through the use of inks () applied to the substrate () in a pre-determined pattern. When the inks () are applied to the substrate (), no ink () is applied on one or more edges formed around the periphery of the sign () for an edge bare border (). Also, a mounting hole () is provided, and an opening bare border () is formed around the mounting hole (). An encapsulant () is then applied over the inks () so as to provide a protective cover. Also, the encapsulant () is applied to the edge bare border () and the opening bare border () so that the encapsulant () fully covers not only the inks (), but also all borders, thereby forming edge encapsulation borders () and an opening encapsulation border (), and the sign () is therefore fully encapsulated. 1. A method for enhancing and extending the integrity and useful life of an article of manufacture , said article being in the form of a sign or label , said sign or label comprising a substrate formed on a substantially planar surface area having any one of a plurality of shapes , thicknesses and sizes , said method comprising:forming a design layer with inks or similar materials which are applied to said substrate in a predetermined pattern so as to convey visual information to a viewer, with said substrate supporting said inks thereupon;when applying said inks to said substrate, refraining from applying any of said inks adjacent one or more edges formed around the periphery of said sign or label, so as to provide for a bare edge border;applying a protective encapsulant over said inks so as to provide a protective cover to said inks and to said substrate under said inks; andcontinuing the application of said encapsulant so that said ...
