Abstract
Abstract The advertising sampler provides a transfer layer material which is removable by finger tip and spreadable on the skin. The sampler includes a paper stock having printing thereon referring to the transfer layer sample. An oil-impervious barrier layer is located between the transfer layer and the paper stock to prevent bleed-through, and a removable protective covering sheet is positionable over the transfer layer to protect the transfer layer.
