Wax paper with heat transfer stamps

摘要

Improved wax paper with thermal transfer stamps may allow for more effectively transferring detailed stamps onto objects. The wax paper may include a paper layer having a porosity of at least 3000 Gurley seconds and a wax layer with a thickness of at most six pounds per ream of the paper. Stamps may be printed face down on the wax layer, with the underside of the ink coated with heat-activated adhesive. By pressing the converted wax paper onto an object, applying a heating element to the paper side of the converted wax paper, and removing the object from contact with the converted wax paper, a stamp may more completely and reliably transfer onto the object with levels of detail not previously achievable, while cutting down on negative effects of wax bleed and paper tears.

主权项

1. A converted wax paper including heat-activated stamps, the converted wax paper including:
a paper layer having first and second sides and a paper porosity of at least 3000 Gurley seconds; a wax layer adhered to the first side of the paper layer, wherein the wax layer has a substantially uniform thickness of at most six pounds per ream and a tackiness of at most 75 grams per inch; a plurality of stamp members applied such that the wax layer is between an ink portion of the stamp members and the paper layer, each of the plurality being in a first orientation that is opposite to a second orientation upon stamp placement, wherein the paper layer is configured to receive heat on the second side and conduct heat to the wax layer to activate at least one of the stamp members.
