A business form is provided which is particularly useful in shipping products
where
certain preprinted information can be provided and then individualized information
is printed before the form is applied to a substrate. The form includes a face
ply which has a pattern of adhesive applied to at least a portion of the inner
face, and a release liner which includes a pattern of adhesive which exposes a
portion of the release liner to direct adhesive contact to the face ply without
intervening release coating to permanently adhere a part of the release liner to
the face ply. The release liner has a surrounding protective border provided with
release coating on the release face thereof and which is removed prior to application
to the substrate, and a slip which remains with the form as applied to the substrate.
The face ply includes lines of perforation defining a central portion. At least
a part of the central portion is directly adhered by the adhesive to the slip without
intervening release coating between the adhesive and the slip or the central portion.
Individualized indicia, such as an address, may be printed on a label area of the
top face of the central portion, while other individualized indicia, such as the
content of a package, may be printed on the back face of the slip. Masking indicia
is preferably provided on one of the inner face of the top ply or the release face
of the release liner to inhibit viewing of the content indicia until the slip is
removed from the package.
