Abstract

A repositionable medium includes a base, a paper, and a first repositionable adhesive. The base has a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end edge, and a second end edge. The paper is fixedly coupled to the top surface of the base proximate to the first end edge. The paper has an inner edge and an outer edge. The outer edge is closer to the first end edge than the inner edge is to the first end edge. The inner edge is spaced a first distance from the first end edge of the base. The first repositionable adhesive is fixed to the bottom surface of the base and is not present in a first low adhesion area at a line across a width of the base and spaced a second distance from the second end edge of the base. The second distance equals the length of the first distance.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A repositionable medium comprising:
(a) a base, the base having a top surface and a bottom surface, the base has a first end edge and a second end edge;
(b) a paper fixed to the top surface of the base, the paper has a first edge proximate to the first end edge of the base and a second edge distal to the first end edge of the base, the second edge of the paper is spaced from the first end edge of the base by a first distance; and
(c) a first repositionable adhesive fixed to the bottom surface of the base in a first high adhesion area and in a second high adhesion area, at least a portion of the first and second high adhesion areas are spaced apart from one another along the bottom surface of the base, wherein the first high adhesion area of the first repositionable adhesive is spaced from the second end edge of the base by a second distance slightly greater in length than the first distance.

2. The repositionable medium as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base includes a polymeric film.

3. The repositionable medium as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the polymeric film is translucent.

4. The repositionable medium as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least a portion of the polymeric film is coated with a marking-receptive coating.

5. The repositionable medium as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the paper covers a portion of the top surface of the base.

6. The repositionable medium as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second high adhesion area of the first repositionable adhesive is positioned over at least a portion of the bottom surface extending from the second end edge of the base to a third distance from the second end edge of the base, the third distance is slightly less in length than the first distance.
