backing card
Explanation:
to put adhesive material on which can be peeled off easily when needed
It's basically like shiny/glossy card. It means the stuff will adhere temproarily until needed but is not glued on permanently

Stickers, labels, stamps etc. usually come on a sheet with a backing card. You just peel off what you want to stick it/them where you want

disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: did you read the context? This is not a display-for-sale backing card. It's for inter-use storage for a self-adhesive medical device
