Abstract:
A multi-layer sheet of staggered edge individual posting sheetlets held together in a manner to maintain the integrity of the multi-layer sheet during non-use and to allow the ready removal of each posting sheetlet from the multi-layer sheet during use for adhering to a substrate so as to provide a base for temporarily posting an item, said multi-layer sheet comprising:(a) a base release sheet having peripheral edges; (b) a plurality of individual adjacent posting sheetlets in flat sheet form overlying the base release sheet, each said posting sheetlet having a paper substrate with a front face and a back face with (i) a peripheral edge, (ii) an exposed adhesive partially covering each said face in approximate aligned areas of the front face and the back face so as to be opposed one another, and (iii) an adhesive-free area on each said face in approximate aligned areas of the respective faces and further the adhesive-free area extends inwardly from the peripheral edge of the posting sheetlet and still further the peripheral edge of each said posting sheetlet is offset from an underlying peripheral edge of the base release sheet to facilitate grasping each said posting sheetlet; and (c) a removable cover sheet overlying the individual posting sheetlets, said cover sheet having severance lines which overlie edges defining the individual posting sheetlets to form a plurality of cover panels equal in number to the individual posting sheetlets wherein each of said cover panels overlies each of said individual posting sheetlets and further each of said cover panels has a peripheral edge offset from the peripheral edge of the underlying individual posting sheetlet to enhance manipulative access to the adhesive-free area of the individual posting sheetlet, whereby each cover panel and each posting sheetlet is available for ready grasping and removing from the multi-layer sheet.
