Abstract

Abstract A double-sided card is provided which permits a user to print information on both sides of the card. The card has a write-in space including primary and secondary printing faces. An adhesive strip is provided on the back of both the primary and secondary printing faces. A score line divides the primary and secondary printing faces. The card can be folded along the score lime, and sealed by contact between the adhesive strips. Information printed on the primary and secondary printing faces would appear on both sides of the card after folding.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 127 words
A double-sided card comprising: a substrate having a front and an opposite back; a write-in space of said front having adjacent primary and secondary printing faces, the write-in space providing a surface capable of receiving printed information from a printing device; adhesive means on the back of both the primary and secondary printing faces for securing said card in a folded configuration; a score line extending across the substrate between the primary and secondary printing faces for facilitating folding of the substrate, the adhesive means on the back of the primary printing face contacting the adhesive means on the back of the secondary printing face, the adhesive means permitting the folded substrate to be sealed and depict the printed information on opposite sides of the folded substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 127 words
A double-sided card comprising: a substrate having a front and an opposite back; a write-in space of said front having adjacent primary and secondary printing faces, the write-in space providing a surface capable of receiving printed information from a printing device; adhesive means on the back of both the primary and secondary printing faces for securing said card in a folded configuration; a score line extending across the substrate between the primary and secondary printing faces for facilitating folding of the substrate, the adhesive means on the back of the primary printing face contacting the adhesive means on the back of the secondary printing face, the adhesive means permitting the folded substrate to be sealed and depict the printed information on opposite sides of the folded substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 12 words
The double-sided card according to claim 1 wherein said substrate comprises paper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The double-sided card according to claim 1 wherein the adhesive means comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive layer and a release coated surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
The double-sided card according to claim 1 wherein the adhesive comprises a moistened adhesive surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
The double-sided card according to claim 1 further comprising visual indices provided on the primary and secondary printing faces designating printing areas for names, dates, numbers, and other relevant user information.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 36 words
The double-sided card according to claim 1 further comprising perforations constructed within the boundary of the card for fastening, binding, and retaining cards in a collection format such as a ring binder, book, and file system.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 21 words
The double-sided card according to claim 1 wherein the substrate comprises a geometric shape, said score line symmetrically dividing said substrate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 105 words
A double-sided card comprising; a substrate having a front and opposite back; a printable surface on the front of the substrate for information data to be provided on said front of the substrate, the front of the substrate having primary and secondary printing faces on adjacent sides of the substrate; adhesive provided on the back of the substrate opposite the primary and secondary printing faces; means facilitating folding of the substrate so the adhesive on the back of the primary face contacts the adhesive on the back of the secondary printing face, and for sealing the printing faces on the outside of the folded substrate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 105 words
A double-sided card comprising; a substrate having a front and opposite back; a printable surface on the front of the substrate for information data to be provided on said front of the substrate, the front of the substrate having primary and secondary printing faces on adjacent sides of the substrate; adhesive provided on the back of the substrate opposite the primary and secondary printing faces; means facilitating folding of the substrate so the adhesive on the back of the primary face contacts the adhesive on the back of the secondary printing face, and for sealing the printing faces on the outside of the folded substrate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 28 words
The double-sided card according to claim 8 wherein the adhesive comprises an adhesive layer on the back of the substrate opposite the front, primary and secondary printing faces.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 16 words
The double-sided card according to claim 8 wherein the means facilitating folding symmetrically divides the substrate.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 28 words
The double-sided card according to claim 8 further comprising visual indices disposed on the primary and secondary printing faces for identification, indication, and separation of user relevant information.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 26 words
The double-sided card according to claim 8 further comprising perforations constructed within the boundary of the card for fastening and binding the card to other materials.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 142 words
A double-sided card comprising: a paper substrate having a front and an opposite back; a write-in space of said front including adjacent primary and secondary printing faces capable of receiving printed information from a printing device; a pressure sensitive adhesive strip provided on the back of both the primary and secondary printing faces; a score line extending across the substrate between the primary and secondary printing faces for facilitating folding of the substrate so the pressure sensitive adhesive strip on the back of the primary printing face contacts the pressure sensitive adhesive strip on the back of the secondary printing face; wherein, printed information can be provided in said write-in space on the outside of the folded substrate, the pressure sensitive adhesive strips permitting the folded substrate to be sealed and depict the printed information on opposite sides of the folded substrate.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 142 words
A double-sided card comprising: a paper substrate having a front and an opposite back; a write-in space of said front including adjacent primary and secondary printing faces capable of receiving printed information from a printing device; a pressure sensitive adhesive strip provided on the back of both the primary and secondary printing faces; a score line extending across the substrate between the primary and secondary printing faces for facilitating folding of the substrate so the pressure sensitive adhesive strip on the back of the primary printing face contacts the pressure sensitive adhesive strip on the back of the secondary printing face; wherein, printed information can be provided in said write-in space on the outside of the folded substrate, the pressure sensitive adhesive strips permitting the folded substrate to be sealed and depict the printed information on opposite sides of the folded substrate.
