Abstract

Disclosed is a note card assembly that is watertight, yet accessible to remove a completed note card. In one embodiment the assembly has a generally rectangular shape in plan view and comprises a watertight envelope having an interior pocket defined by permanent seals on three sides and a resealable seal on the fourth side. A subassembly inside the pocket includes a layered sandwich of a rigid writing board, a note card having a CF coated top surface, and a transparent sheet having a CB coated bottom surface in contact with the top surface of the note card. When pressure is applied to the outer envelope, a chemical reaction takes place between the two coated layers leaving a permanent marking on the top surface of the note card.
