Method of and apparatus for facilitating the automatic processing of checks

摘要

A length of material (10) is provided with an indented zone (18) which receives an adhesive layer (24). The outer surface (26) of the adhesive layer (24) is coplanar with the outer surface (12) of the length of material (10) thus providing a check processing tab (44) having a uniform cross sectional configuration. The check processing tabs are wound into rolls (30) and are ultimately adhesively secured to checks (34) with the outer surface (12) of the check processing tab (44) positioned in the same plane as the reverse side (46) of the check (34) and subtantially offset from the face (48) thereof.
