Abstract
A forms leader is disclosed for use in printing of business forms by a printing device. The leader includes a rectangular sheet of flexible material having a series of line holes formed along the edges of the sheet. The sheet is folded along a crease to define a front portion of the sheet which is of less length than a rear portion. The crease is further positioned so that the line holes formed on the front portion align with those of the rear portion. An adhesive strip is formed across the front surface of the rear portion of the sheet, the strip being positioned along the surface so that at least a portion thereof is above a line corresponding to the bottom edge of the front portion. The adhesive has a relatively low tack, whereby the form can be removably secured to the adhesive with the front portion of the sheet extending over a portion of the form and the line holes of the form aligning with those of the sheet.
