ATTACHING STRIPS FOR DOCUMENTS

摘要

A strip (10) for attaching a document to a binder without punching openings in the document or for reinforcing a document around openings formed in the document through which the document can be mounted in a binder. The strip (10) comprises an elongate layer (11) of thin flexible material, and a coating of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive (20) on one major surface (12) along an inner edge portion. That layer is free of adhesive on both of its side surfaces along an outer edge portion. That outer edge portion is visually distinctive, and the juncture between the inner and outer portions is straight and visibly distinctive. The strip (10) has at least one opening through its outer edge portion adapted to receive a portion of a binder so that a document to which the coating of adhesive (20) along its inner edge portion is adhered with the edge of the document along the juncture between the inner and outer portions can be bound in the binder without punching the document, or, alternatively, so that a punched document having a through opening by which the document is bound in a binder can be reinforced by adhering the coating of adhesive (20) to the document with the opening in the outer edge portion in alignment with the opening in the document.
