Abstract
Abstract A credit-card-adhering transaction record for use with credit cards and an imprinting device having a defined region for receiving a card on a support surface, and a pressure platen manipulatable relative to the surface. The transaction record includes a plural-detachable-sheet recording booklet including a customer-return sheet. A stretch of the customer-return sheet is directly placeable on the support surface so that it has an expanse extending over a portion of a card received in the defined region of the support surface. An exposable pressure-responsive adhesive film distributed over the expanse of the sheet-captures and releasably retains the credit card following an imprinting operation.
