Advertising card having adhesive layer

Abstract

A card has an adhesive layer for allowing the card to be removably attached to any desired structure. A layer of liner material is disposed over the adhesive layer and can be removed to expose a portion of the adhesive layer, allowing the card to be removably attached to the desired structure by pressing the exposed adhesive layer against the structure. In another embodiment, the card has a pressure sensitive label portion and a coupon portion. The label portion includes a layer of adhesive between a layer of sheet material and a layer of liner material. Peeling off a portion of the liner material exposes a portion of the adhesive layer, allowing the card to be removably attached to the desired structure. A permanent adhesive layer may be disposed over the layer of liner material, and a second layer of liner material may be disposed over the permanent adhesive layer. The card can be fixedly attached to the structure by pressing the exposed permanent adhesive layer against the structure. A variety of indicia, such as coupon and advertising indicia, can be printed on the card.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A card that is adapted to be removably secured to a structure comprising: 
 a blank having a first surface and a second surface, said blank having at least one line of perforations dividing said blank into a first section that is removable from a second section;    a layer of adhesive material provided on a portion of said first surface of said second section, said layer of adhesive material being formed from a material that is sufficiently adhesive to allow said blank to be removably secured to a structure to prevent inadvertent removal, but not so adhesive as to cause damage to the structure when said blank is removed therefrom; and    a layer of liner material removably secured to a portion of said layer of adhesive material, said layer of liner material being removable to expose said portion of said adhesive material, thereby allowing said card to be removably secured to the structure.    
     
     
         2 . The card defined in  claim 1  further including indicia printed on said second surface of said first section of said blank.  
     
     
         3 . The card defined in  claim 2  wherein said indicia includes coupon indicia.  
     
     
         4 . The card defined in  claim 1  further including indicia printed on said second surface of said second section of said blank.  
     
     
         5 . The card defined in  claim 4  wherein said indicia includes advertising indicia.  
     
     
         6 . The card defined in  claim 1  wherein said layer of adhesive material has a looptack range of adhesion of 0.20 to 1.00 lbs/inch 2  on glass.  
     
     
         7 . The card defined in  claim 1  wherein said layer of adhesive material has a 24-hour peel range of adhesion of 0.05 to 0.80 lbs/inch 2  on glass.  
     
     
         8 . The card defined in  claim 1  wherein said blank has a thickness in a range of 1 to 25 mils.
