Abstract:
1. A form with an integrated fold-over intermediate comprising: a form layer having top and bottom surfaces and a periphery; at least one die-cut through the top and bottom surfaces of the form layer defining at least one portion of the form layer within the die-cut; a patch layer having first and second halves, a periphery and top and bottom surfaces; a layer of repositionable, peelable adhesive wherein the bottom surface of the first half of the patch layer is adhesively but removably secured to the top surface of the form layer over the entire die-cut and the entire form layer portion; the bottom surface of the second half of the patch layer being secured to the top surface of the form layer by the adhesive layer over neither the die-cut nor the form layer portion; the patch layer, adhesive layer and form layer portion together comprise the fold-over card intermediate; wherein the adhesive layer has a greater affinity for the bottom surface of the patch layer than the top surface of the form layer such that when the fold-over card intermediate is removed from the form layer, the portion of the adhesive layer that is not between the patch layer and the form layer portion is exposed and stays adhered to the bottom surface of the patch layer; wherein once removed from the form layer, the fold-over card intermediate can be folded in half, thus securing the first half and second half of the patch layer together by the adhesive layer and enclosing the form layer portion between the folded halves of the patch layer; and, at least one second die-cut in the form layer defining at least one second portion of the form layer, the second die-cut and second form layer portion disposed beneath the second half of the patch layer, such that the second form layer portion is secured to the bottom surface of the second half of the patch layer by the adhesive layer and becomes part of the fold-over card intermediate and, upon removal of the fold-over card intermediate from the form layer, the second form layer portion is enclosed along with the first form layer portion when the fold-over card intermediate is folded in half.
