Abstract

A multi-purpose sticker for decorating and sealing an envelope and also for attaching the sealed envelope to a package, such as a gift. The multi-purpose sticker generally includes a double-sided adhesive layer hidden below a decorative covering. With the decorative cover in place, one side of the double-sided adhesive of the sticker can be used to seal an envelope, and the sticker serves as a decorative sticker. If desired, the decorative cover can be peeled off to expose an adhesive in order to affix the sealed envelope to a package.

Claims (49)

1. A multi-purpose sticker, comprising:

a substrate;

a non-releasable first adhesive layer disposed on a first side of the substrate, usable to non-releasably adhere the multi-purpose sticker to a first object;

a second adhesive layer disposed on a second side of the substrate;

a first release layer in contact with the second adhesive layer; and

a decorative cover comprising the first release layer and having a first side and a second side, and a first decorative element visible from the second side, the first side releasably covering the second adhesive layer such that, when the decorative cover is removed, the second adhesive layer is usable to adhere the multi-purpose sticker to a second object, such that the multi-purpose sticker adheres the first object to the second object; and

a second decorative element on the substrate, wherein the second decorative element is visible when the decorative cover is selectively removed;

wherein the decorative cover is about the same size and shape of the substrate, and entirely covers the substrate, and wherein the decorative cover can be selectively removed to expose the second adhesive layer.

2. A multi-purpose sticker, comprising:

a first substrate comprising a decorative element;

a first adhesive layer disposed on a first side of the first substrate;

a releasable second adhesive layer disposed on a second side of the first substrate;

a transparent second substrate, the transparent second substrate having a first side and a second side;

a third adhesive layer disposed on the second side of the transparent second substrate;

wherein the first side of the second substrate is in contact with the second adhesive layer of the first substrate, such that the multi-purpose sticker can be separated between the releasable second adhesive layer and the first substrate;

wherein the decorative element is visible through the transparent second substrate;

a third substrate, the third substrate having a first side and a second side; and

a fourth adhesive layer disposed on the first side of the third substrate;

wherein the second side of the third substrate is in contact with the first adhesive layer of the first substrate, and wherein the first adhesive layer of the first substrate comprises a releasable adhesive, such that the multi-purpose sticker can be separated between the first adhesive layer and the first substrate.

3. A multi-purpose sticker, comprising:

a first substrate comprising a decorative element;

a first adhesive layer disposed on a first side of the first substrate; and

a second adhesive layer disposed on a second side of the first substrate;

a transparent release layer cover positioned to cover the second adhesive layer wherein the decorative element is visible through the transparent release layer cover;

wherein the transparent release layer cover is about the same size and shape of the substrate, and wherein the transparent release layer cover can be selectively removed from the multi-purpose sticker such that the multi-purpose sticker is usable to adhere a first object to a second object using the adhesive layers;

a transparent second substrate, the second substrate having a first side and a second side; and

a third adhesive layer disposed on the second side of the second substrate;

wherein the second substrate is disposed between the first substrate and the transparent release layer cover;

wherein the first side of the second substrate is in contact with the second adhesive layer of the first substrate;

wherein the transparent release layer cover is in contact with the third adhesive layer;

wherein the second adhesive layer comprises a releasable adhesive, such that the multi-purpose sticker can be separated between the second adhesive layer and the first substrate;

a third substrate, the third substrate having a first side and a second side; and

a fourth adhesive layer disposed on the first side of the third substrate;

wherein the second side of the third substrate is in contact with the first adhesive layer of the first substrate;

wherein the first adhesive layer comprises a releasable adhesive, such that the multi-purpose sticker can be separated between the first adhesive layer and the first substrate.

4. A multi-purpose sticker, comprising:

a first substrate comprising a decorative element;

a first adhesive layer disposed on a first side of the first substrate;

a releasable second adhesive layer disposed on a second side of the first substrate;

a transparent second substrate, the transparent second substrate having a first side and a second side;

a third adhesive layer disposed on the second side of the transparent second substrate;

a first release layer in contact with the third adhesive layer;

a decorative cover comprising the first release layer and having a first side and a second side, and a decorative element visible from the second side, the first side releasably covering the third adhesive layer;

wherein the decorative cover is about the same size and shape of the second substrate, and entirely covers the second substrate, and wherein the decorative cover can be selectively removed to expose the third adhesive layer;

wherein the first side of the second substrate is in contact with the second adhesive layer of the first substrate, such that the multi-purpose sticker can be separated between the releasable second adhesive layer and the first substrate;

wherein the decorative element is visible through the transparent second substrate;

a third substrate, the third substrate having a first side and a second side; and

a fourth adhesive layer disposed on the first side of the third substrate;

wherein the second side of the third substrate is in contact with the first adhesive layer of the first substrate, and wherein the first adhesive layer of the first substrate comprises a releasable adhesive, such that the multi-purpose sticker can be separated between the first adhesive layer and the first substrate.
