Printing stock for use in making a sign that includes a face sheet and a backing sheet. The sign is formed, for example, by overlapping a plurality of sheets of the printing stock, with the sheets arranged in a pattern to form a desired image of the sign. In a number of embodiments, the sheets of printing stock may be received through and printed on by a small-office, home-office (SOHO) printer. In other embodiments, the sheets of printing stock are of standard size for use with SOHO printers, i.e., A4, 8½×11 inches, and legal size. The face sheet includes a printing surface for receiving ink and an adhesive surface for receiving the backing sheet. The face includes a face cut forming a margin and a face sub-sheet such that at least a portion of the margin is separable from the face sub-sheet. The backing sheet may include a backing cut forming a border and a backing sub-sheet such that at least a portion of the border is separable from the backing sub-sheet so that at least a portion of the adhesive surface of the face sheet is exposable. The face may include a plurality of registration marks for enabling the face sub-sheet from one sheet of printing stock that is separated from at least a portion of the margin thereof to be positioned with respect to the face sub-sheet from another sheet of printing stock.

A sign kit includes a plurality of print stock sheets, a substrate, and a support stake. The print stock sheets each include a face sheet and a backing sheet. The face sheet has an image surface configured to have an image imprinted thereon, and a back surface having a layer of adhesive applied thereto and a release coating adhered to the layer of adhesive. The substrate has a first side, a second side, and an outer peripheral edge between the first and second sides, and is adapted to have one or more of the print stock sheets adhesively and removably mounted thereon. Alignment indicia are disposed on at least the substrate first side. The alignment indicia are arranged to facilitate alignment of each adhesive backed sheet mounted on the substrate first surface. The support stake has a first end configured to be inserted into the substrate via the substrate outer peripheral edge, and a second end configured to insert into a support surface.

A piece of printing stock for making, in combination with a badge base, an information badge, includes a face sheet and a liner. The face sheet includes a layer of adhesive, with the liner releasably adhered to the layer of adhesive. The face sheet also includes a badge label, for example, as defined by a weakening line cut into the face sheet. In addition, the liner includes a badge liner, for example, as defined therein by a weakening line cut into the liner. The badge liner is smaller in dimensions than the badge label and is positioned with respect to the badge label such that when the badge label is removed from the face sheet, the badge liner is removed from the liner and remains adhered to the badge label.

A facestock releasably adhered to a liner sheet is die cut to form one or two compact disc labels, and two diametrically opposed tabs on each compact disc label and located so that one edge of the tab is in contact with one of the compact disc labels and is perforated. The liner side of the tab also has a die cut patterned so that it generally follows the outline of the tab, but which forms a shape which is inside of and slightly smaller than the face cut tab pattern. After the label sheet has passed through a printer or copier and the desired indicia has been printed on the labels, at least one of the tabs is pushed through from the reverse side of the sheet, or pulled through via a sheet opening partially separating the tab from the rest of the sheet. The tab, which is mostly free of exposed adhesive in that it is still laminated to the die cut section of release liner, is then grasped from the face side, and lifted upward, pulling the compact disc label away from the label sheet. If there is a second tab on the label, this is also removed as the label is removed, and can be grasped by the user's other hand in order to control the position of the label. The user is now able to position the label either directly onto the compact disc or into an alignment apparatus, without any significant contact to an adhesive coated surface.

An adhesive label is configured to be wrapped around an apparatus and to outline a predetermined image having first and second components. A first facestock has opposite first and second edges that come into proximity with one another when the label is wrapped around the apparatus. The first edge includes first contours that outline the first component of the predetermined image, and the second edge includes second contours that outline the second component. A multilayer sheet assembly comprises the adhesive label, wherein the first facestock inner surface includes a lined portion that is covered by a release liner, and an unlined portion that is not covered by the release liner. The sheet assembly further comprises a second facestock that covers at least some of the unlined portion of the first facestock inner surface, and is adhered thereto using an adhesive.

A label sheet (1) having a release liner (16) and a column of labels (12) releasably adhered thereto is modified to allow easy removal of the labels. The liner has a weakened separation line (30) formed by cuts and ties running underneath a column of labels near the edge of the labels, and notches (18) at the top and bottom of the sheet aligned with the cuts and ties. A matrix (14) surrounding the labels, if present, also has cuts and ties, with the cuts and ties in the matrix parallel to and slightly offset from the cuts and ties in the liner. The separation lines are strong enough that the label sheet can be fed through a printer, yet weak enough that a user can tear off the liner and matrix along the separation lines, thus leaving a minor edge of a column of labels exposed for easy removal from the label sheet.

Facestock is adhered with adhesive to a liner sheet. Weakened separation lines in the facestock define lines of facestock labels. And weakened separation lines in the liner sheet define liner sheet strips separable from the body of the liner sheet to expose backsides of respective lines of labels. The rest of the liner sheet can then be manipulated to position the line of labels on staggered tabs, the labels pressed into position and separated from the rest of the facestock. Another embodiment includes facestock sheet separation lines defining the perimeters of facestock labels with at least one facestock handle attached thereto. The liner sheet includes a portion attached to the handle whereby the handle, the label and the portion are removable as a unit from the liner sheet and the facestock, the handle manipulated to position the label so that its adhesive backside is positioned and applied at the desired surface location, and the handle and portion then separated from the label.

Methods and apparatus are provided for a conformable label for a portable electronic device. The apparatus comprises a label sheet assembly formed of a facestock having a first side and an opposed second side. The facestock is formed of a conformable material that will adhere to contoured surfaces. The assembly further includes a release liner, covering the first side of the facestock. The facestock includes a plurality of cuts including a plurality of straight line cuts and a plurality of curved line cuts. The plurality of cuts may further include tie lines tying the label to another portion of the assembly. The plurality of cuts define at least one radiused cutout region in the conformable label and a perimeter of the conformable label for a portable electronic device.
