Sealed cards and methods of producing the same
View Patent ↗Sealed cards and methods for producing the same are described. An example method includes exposing a first side portion of a first layer of a sealed card assembly. The first layer covering instructions on an inner portion of a second layer of the sealed card assembly. The method also includes coupling the first side portion to an object to enable the instructions to be covered by the first layer until removal thereof.
1. A method, comprising:
exposing a first portion of a first side of a first layer of a sealed card assembly, a second portion of the first side of the first layer coupled to an inner portion of a second layer of the sealed card assembly, and covering the inner portion of the second layer; and
coupling the first portion to a surface of an article to conceal the second layer by the first layer until removal thereof.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing instructions to remove the first layer to expose the second layer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein coupling the first portion is to protect the second layer from exposure to environmental elements.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing the first layer to reveal the second layer.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising recoupling the first portion to the surface to conceal the second layer by the first layer.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising verifying an accuracy of information contained on the inner portion of the second layer.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein coupling the first side portion comprises coupling the first side portion via adhesive.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises a card including at least one of warranty information, instructional information, membership information, sensitive information, confidential information, identification information, or discount information.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein coupling the first portion is to encapsulate the second layer between the first layer and the surface.
10. A method, comprising
exposing a first side portion of a first layer of a sealed card assembly, a second portion of the first layer coupled to an inner portion of a second layer of the sealed card assembly, and covering the inner portion of the second layer;
coupling the first side portion to a surface to conceal the second layer by the first layer until removal thereof; and
providing a first indicia on the inner portion of the second layer and a second indicia on an outer portion of the second layer, the first indicia corresponding to the second indicia.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising verifying that the first indicia corresponds to the second indicia.
12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising verifying that the first indicia corresponds to the second indicia substantially simultaneously with the printing of the first indicia and the second indicia.
13. A method, comprising:
exposing a first side portion of a first layer of a sealed card assembly, a second portion of the first layer coupled to an inner portion of a second layer of the sealed card assembly, and covering the inner portion of the second layer;
coupling the first side portion to a surface to conceal the second layer by the first layer until removal thereof; wherein exposing the first side portion comprises removing a release liner from the first side portion.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the surface comprises a surface of a product.
15. A method, comprising:
exposing a first side portion of a first layer of a sealed card assembly, a second portion of the first layer coupled to an inner portion of a second layer of the sealed card assembly, and covering the inner portion of the second layer; and
coupling the first side portion to a surface to conceal the second layer by the first layer until removal thereof, wherein the first side portion comprises a release label portion.
16. A method, comprising:
exposing a first side portion of a first layer of a sealed card assembly, a second portion of the first layer coupled to an inner portion of a second layer of the sealed card assembly, and covering the inner portion of the second layer;
coupling the first side portion to a surface to conceal the second layer by the first layer until removal thereof; and
providing indicia on at least one of a first side or a second side of the inner portion.
17. A method, comprising:
exposing a first side portion of a first layer of a sealed card assembly, a second portion of the first layer coupled to an inner portion of a second layer of the sealed card assembly, and covering the inner portion of the second layer;
coupling the first side portion to a surface to conceal the second layer by the first layer until removal thereof; and
prior to exposing the first side portion of the first layer, removing the first layer from an intermediate.
