<p>An auxiliary binder (10) for booklets consists of an adhesive laminate configured as a bow tie or dog bone. In one embodiment of the invention, a polyester base sheet (16) is adhesively coated (at 18) and receives thereon a backing sheet (20) having a strip die cut longitudinally thereon. Removal of the strip (26) of the backing sheet allows positioning of the auxiliary binder, and subsequent removal of portions of the backing sheet allows the binder to be affixed to the booklet. In another embodiment of the invention, an adhesively coated base sheet (36) receives a reinforced strip (44) longitudinally along a center portion thereof. The reinforced strip has its own carrier (46) and release liner (48) which, when removed, allows the reinforcement to be adhered to a booklet. Subsequent removal of a liner (40) covering the remainder of the adhesive of the base sheet (36) allows the base sheet to be further secured to the booklet. <IMAGE></p> |
