Abstract
A multi-ply ticket structure having a thin film layer adhered differentially to an underlying film or paper-based base layer, which supports a thermally-imagable coating between the thin film layer and the base layer. Specified areas of the overlying film are selectively removable, and may include vision-blocking opaque materials thereon, while adjacent areas of the film remain permanently bonded to the base layer. The film layer is of sufficient thinness to allow thermal energy from a thermal printer to penetrate the film layer and any adhesive used to attach the film layer to the base layer and cause imaging of the thermal coating atop the base layer. The differential bonding of the film layer to the base layer allows the specified area of the film layer including the opaque material to be removed after imaging to expose the variably-imprinted indicia on the thermal coating while the permanently bonded areas of film layer provide tamper-resistance protection of other imprinted indicia, such as a bar code or other security features.
