Abstract
A system including multiple items releasably secured on a smooth carrier sheet having a plurality of, or groups of striations ranging in depth from 5 to 99 percent of the thickness of the carrier sheet. In one exemplary embodiment, a first group of striation includes a plurality of parallel striations oriented generally along one axis, and a second group of striations includes a plurality of parallel striation oriented generally along a second axis. During shipment, the adhesive retains sufficient traction to the carrier sheet by engaging the striations to substantially eliminate the lateral movement or sliding of the items from their original position on the carrier sheet. When removed from the carrier sheet, the adhesive releases from the carrier sheet and remains retained by the items even though the adhesive partially flowed into the carrier sheet striations.
