Abstract
Ultraremovable adhesive (216) is applied to paper sheet (208) to form a liner sheet. The liner sheet is laminated to cardstock sheet (212) to form laminate cardstock (200). Sheet (212) is then die cut, but not the liner sheet, to form cut lines (240) that define at least in part perimeters of business cards or other printable media. The outer face of the liner sheet is then die cut, but not sheet (212), to form strips (304) on a back side of sheet (212). Some of strips (304) define cover strips covering some lines (240), and others define waste strips. The waste strips are removed. The resulting construction is then fed through a printer or copier. Indicia is printed on the front side of the cards while strips (304) hold the cards together. After printing, the cards are peeled off strips (304), ready for use.
Description
CONSTRUCTION OF BUSINESS CARDSHEET AND METHODS OF DOING AND USING THE same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the constructions of printable sheets which are adapted to be fed in printers or copiers and the printed or printed indications in the different portions thereof and the portions that are subsequently separated in separate printed media, such as business cards. In addition, it concerns methods for making those printing sheet constructions. Additionally, it relates to methods of using the sheet constructions to form the printed cards. Small-sized media, such as business cards, ROLODEX-type file cards, party invitations and visitor cards, for their small formats, can not be easily fed and printed by using jet printers or powered printers. jet, laser printers, photocopiers and other typewriter and regular printing machines. Therefore, a known method for producing small-sized media has been to print the desired indications on different portions of a large sheet such as a sheet of letter size 21.59 x 27.94cm (8 / x 11 in.) Or legal size 21.59 x 35.56 cm (8 1 x 14 in.) or A4 and then proceed to cut the leaves with some type of cutting machine in different portions or in sheets of small and individual size or in media with printing on each of these. However, this method is of little advantage since the user must have access to a cutting machine like the one already mentioned and the additional step of cutting is inefficient in terms of time and cost.
In order to avoid this step of cutting, another product of the previous reference has the portions of the sheet that define the perimeters of the media (example, business cards) consisting of previously formed perforation lines. (Refer, for example, to International Publication TCP No. WO 97/40979). However, a problem with this product is that because the cards must be durable and have a professional appearance, they must be produced in a relatively heavy and thick paper. Thus, the heavy, thick and perforated sheets are relatively inflexible, such that they can not be fed from a height of such sheets using automatic paper feeders to printers or copiers. A proposed solution to this feeding problem is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,704,317) ('317) issued to Hickenbotham. (This patent and all other patents and other publications mentioned elsewhere in this disclosure are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.) The '317 patent method reduces the stiffness of the corners of the sheet as well as marks, cracks, mold pressure cuts, or flattened cuts of type. However, a number of problems with this method prevented it from becoming commercially and generally acceptable. Another proven solution in reference to the sheet feeding problem is that disclosed in US Patent 5,571, 587 ('587) issued to Bishop et al. (See also U.S. Patent No. 4,447,481 issued to Holmberg et al.) According to the '587 patent the leaf stock has a relatively thin portion in at least one of the longitudinal edges thereof which facilitates the feeding of the leaf. reservation of sheets to the printer or the copier. The thin portion is removed from the sheet after printing. The individual printed cards are then separated from one another by pulling or tearing along the micro-perforated and pre-formed lines. Although the perforation joints that remain along the corners of the printed and formed cards are small, they are perceptible or appreciable, giving the card a touch and unprofessional appearance. A card sheet construction that uses clean cut edges instead of perforated edges that are less desirable are commercially available from Max Seidel and from PromadxxfPaper Direct "and an example of this product is shown in the drawings of Figures 1 -3. (See Canadian Patent Publication No. 2,148,553 (MTL Modern Technologies Lizenz GmbH); see also German Patent DE.42.40.8825.A1.) When referring to the figures of the drawings, the prior art product is generally shown at 100. It includes a reserve of sheets 102, divided by cutting lines as width and length 104 in columns and rows of cards 110, surrounded by a perimeter frame 112. On the back 114 of the sheet stock 102, strips of thin conveyor elements 116 made of polyester are glued with an adhesive 118 along and over the width of the cutting lines. These strips 116 hold the cards 110 and the frame 112 together when the stocks of sheets 102 are fed to the printer or the copier as is generally shown at 120. After the reservation of sheets 100 has been fed to the printer or copier 120 and the desired indicia are printed on the cards 110, the cards are detached from and from the strips 116 and the frame 112. After all the cards 110 have been removed from the sheet stock 102, the remaining material formed by the strips 116 and the frame 112 is discarded as disposable material. One of the problems with the prior art sheet product 100 is that the printers have difficulty in lifting the sheets, resulting in the sheets being poorly fed to the printers. It is difficult for the feed rollers to pull the sheets past or past the separation tabs inside the printers. Feeding difficulties are also caused by the ripple or curling of the reservoir of sheets 102 on themselves. The "curled" or "crimped" allows the guiding edge of the sheet to bend back and flex over the separation tabs. Since the stock of sheets 102 is a relatively stiff product, it becomes difficult for the feed rollers of the printer 120 to control this problem. Another problem with the sheets of the prior art 100 is a sheet start problem out of registration. In other words, the impression is pushed up or down from its desired and expected starting position, lower than the upper stop of the sheet. This problem of registration outside of its frame is often associated with the problem of poor diet discussed in the previous paragraph. This is because the printer is having difficulty lifting the sheet, and the printer's time calculation is affected. This causes printing to start in different places on the sheet, which is not acceptable to users.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION. With the intention of addressing and remedying the problems and disadvantages of the prior art, a laminated and dry sheet construction including a printing medium, such as business cards, ROLODEX type cards, is described herein. , party invitations, business cards or similar. A first step in the formation of this laminated and dry sheet construction is the coating or an extrusion layer of a low density polyethylene (LPDE) film on a bleached and densified kraft paper sleeve, thus forming a lining sheet covered with a movie. Using a hot melt adhesive film, a front face sheet stock (where the card information will be printed) is adhered to the side of the film of the liner sheet to form a laminated sheet construction substrate. A more generic description of the "dry peel" materials - the LPDE, and the bleached and densified kraft paper liner - is a film-forming polymer adhered to a liner stock. The front reserve face sheet, the film bath and the adhesive bath together define the front reserve face laminate. (See U.S. Patent No. 4,863,772 (Cross), see also U.S. Patents 3,420,364 (Kennedy), 3,769,147 (Kamendar et al.), 4,004,058 (Buros et al.), 4,020,204 (Taylor et al.), And 4,405,401 (Stahl)). The construction of a sheet (which also includes a front reservation face adhered to a polymer that forms the film) is separated at the liner-film interface instead of separating at the front-face film-to-face interface, when the final construction is subject to force or pressure of detachment. According to a modality of this invention, a front reserve face laminate substrate is flattened along an edge or both edges thereof to assist in feeding sheets of media printable to the printer. Flattened edges help prevent multi-sheet feeding, improper feeding and problems of state-of-the-art registration. The lines are cut by molds through the frontal face facing laminate but not through the lining sheet. These front reserve face cutting lines define the perimeter of the business cards (or any other printable media) and a waste paper frame that surrounds them. These mold-cutting lines do not cause the sheets to become entangled with each other. This allows the sheets to be properly fed to the printers. The lines are then cut through the lining sheet, but not through the front face facing laminate, to form liner sheet strips on the back face (the back side) of the front face reserve laminate. The cut line of the liner sheets can each be straight lines or they can be curved or wavy lines. The lines can be horizontal (or vertical) along the sheet or placed diagonally on them. According to an alternative, the lines may extend over only a part of the sheet, such as from both sides of the edges, to only a central area of the sheet. The additional steps in the process are making sheets of the substrate forming individual sheets, stacking or wrapping them and distributing the wrapped sheets through commercial retail channels to reach the user, the final consumer. The laminated sheets (the business cards) are unwrapped by the user and placed on the feeding tray of a printer or a copier, and fed individually or automatically to them, first placing the flattened edges towards the entrance of the printer (and particularly when using an inkjet printer or horizontal type jet) or when entering a copier where the information is printed on each of the printable media (or on blank business cards) on the sheets. After the printing operation, each of the printed media (or business cards) is peeled off the liner sheet strips and removed from the disposable frame. The supporting structure formed by the strips and the frame subsequently discard. Alternately, the support structure emerges from printed business cards. The product, in any of the alternatives, is a number of neatly printed business cards, each one with clean mold-type cutting edges in its entire perimeter.
In other words, the adhesive film securely affixes the front reservoir face sheet to the LPDE film bath on the liner sheet. The union of these is such that the construction of the sheets in general is separated or delaminated at the contact surface with the film-liner sheet, when the user takes off the printed business cards from the liner strip. That is, it does not separate on the contact surface with the front face reserve sheet. Additionally, the sheet-liner covered with a film does not noticeably affect the flexibility of the sheet as it is fed by the printer. On the contrary, the thickness of the frontal reserve face sheet is the most significant factor. Thus, the front reserve face sheets must be carefully selected so that they are not so rigid as to cause feeding or print registration problems. According to some preferred embodiments of the invention, each of the strips is peeled off and removed from the sheet during the manufacturing process and before the sheet is fed to the printer or copier. The remaining strips cover a substantial number of the cut lines of the front reserve face laminate and extend over the waste paper frame to hold the blank business cards and the sheet together as they are fed and passed through. printer or copier. The remaining strips (and therefore the cutting lines of the front reserve face sheet) preferably extend across the width of the sheet or are perpendicular to the feed direction of the sheet to leave the construction of the sheet laminated less rigid and more flexible as it passes to and through the printer or copier. When starting with a single sheet continuous lining to form the strips, the final detached product is flatter than that of the products of the previous techniques. Thus, there is less possibility that the sheets curl and become entangled with each other.
Other modes do not remove or remove any of the strips before the sheet is fed to the printer or copier. In other words, the entire back side of the front reserve face laminate is covered by the liner sheet having a series of cut lines in the liner sheet. A further definition of the method for accomplishing this invention includes forming a roll of a substrate of a laminated sheet construction comprising a liner sheet on a front face sheet. The substrate is unrolled under constant tension from the substrate and the edges of the substrate are flattened. The front face reserve face sheet of the unwound substrate is cut under mold pressure without cutting the liner sheet to form the structure or perimeter silhouette of the printable medium (the business cards). The lining sheet is then cut under mold pressure, without cutting the front reserve face sheet, to form the liner strips. The interconnected and alternating liner strips are removed as a waste matrix and rolled onto a roller to be discarded. The substrate is then made sheet, in letter-size sheets 21.59 x 27.94 cm (8 Vz x 11 inches), for example, or legal size 21.59 x 35.56 cm (8 14 x 14 in.), Or in A4-type sheet dimensions; the leaves are stacked and the stacked sheets are packed. The user then removes or extracts the sheet height from the packaging and positions the height or a portion of it in a feed tray of a printer or a copier to perform a printing operation on the printable medium or feeds them individually to the printer. printer or copier. After the printing operation, the printed medium is separated from the rest of the sheet, as described above. The sheet constructions of this invention appear to result in the following ink jet or ink jet printers: HP550C, HP660C;
HP722C, HP870Cse, Canon BJC620, Canon BJC4100, Epson Stylus Color II and Epson Stylus Color 600. Another advantage of the expressions of the present invention where alternate strips of the liner are removed prior to the printing operation is that a ripple or curl is less likely to be formed or induced in Business cards from the lining sheet. Curling or ripple occurs when the front reserve is removed from a full liner sheet. The lining strips are better than the lining sheets since they reduce the amount of ripple or ripple that occurs during the extraction of the front reserve. A further embodiment of this invention features a strip of the front reserve face laminate peeled off on one side of the sheet to leave a strip of the liner sheet extending outwardly over the end of the front face reserve laminate. This liner strip defines a feed edge especially well suited for feeding sheets to vertical feed printers and appears to work better than flattening the feed feed edges. The opposite edge (end) of the front reserve face laminate can also be peeled off to leave an exposed liner sheet strip. Alternatively, the opposite edge of the front reserve face laminate can be flattened. The flattened edge seems to work better for sheet feeding in horizontal feed printers. The instructions can be printed on the sheets (or on the wrappers or in an insert in the wrapper) instructing the user on how to orient the sheet so that the exposed liner strip defines the input feeding end when a feed printer is used vertical and to orient the sheet so that the flat edge defines the input feed end when a horizontal feed printer is used.
In fact, this novel concept of the liner strip exposed to one end and the flat edge to the other end can be used for other blade constructions adapted for feeding to printers for a printing operation on them. An example of these is simply a cover sheet attached to a backing sheet. The backing sheet does not require cutting lines or otherwise be formed as strips. The front sheet does not require cutting lines; You can, for example, have perforated lines that form the perimeter of business cards or other printable media. A preferred sheet construction of the present invention is facially similar to, but markedly improved upon, the prior art of the "Paper Direct" product demonstrated in Figures 1-3, and described in the Background of the Invention portion of this disclosure. . In addition to the problems already discussed, this prior technique is too flimsy or light. Accordingly, a preferred sheet construction of the present invention uses paper strips instead of polyester film strips, to secure together the sheet. The paper strips are stiffer and preferably wider (eg 1.43 cm (9/16 inch) wide) than the film strips, thus giving the sheet construction a more solid and firm feel, which is valuable commercial. Additionally, the paper strips allow the sheet to extend flatly, with less puckering along the mold-type cutting joints, since they react to the environment in a similar manner as well as the reserve of card sheets. Similar to the dry rolling products of this invention herein described above, a laminated stock of sheet cards is formed in accordance with this preferred embodiment. An ultra removable adhesive is applied to a sheet of paper to form a liner sheet there and the liner sheet is laminated to a reserve of card sheets (front reservoir) to form this laminate sheet card reservation substrate. The substrate is cut by its face under mold pressure through the sheet face reserve card sheets but not through the lining sheet to form cut lines for the reserve of card sheets that defines less in part the perimeter of the printable medium (business cards, postcards, greetings cards, and so on). At the next station the substrate is then press-cut by mold through the lining sheet but not through the reserve face sheet of the card sheet, to form the strips of the lining sheets on the back of the sheet. Reserve face of the card sheet. Some of the strips define the cover strips that cover the backs of some of the cutting lines of the card sheet stock, and other of the strips define the disposable strips. The disposable strips are then removed from the back sheet matrix of the card sheet stock. The substrate is then made into sheet sheets of the desired size, such as letter size 21.59 x 27.94cm (8 14 x 11 in.). The sheets are ready to be fed to a printer or a copier and a printing operation that is conducted on the fronts of the printable media. The printable media is then separated from (detached from) the cover strips, being ready for use. The cover strips preferably provide the only means for holding the press-cut printable media together as an intact unit sheet to pass through the printer or copier. Removing or removing the disposable strips before the sheet passes through the printer or copier makes the sheet more flexible so that it can be folded and passed better through the curved paths inside the printers and from the printers. copiers.
The ultra removable adhesive is peeled off together with the disposable paper strips and the cover strips thus provide a clean backing side to the reserve face sheet card (and therefore to the printable media). The clean backing side (s) (even when they are coated) may, advantageously, to be written, that is to say, it will accept the lead pencil, the ink pen and even the print of jet or jet ink and laser printing. The ultra removable adhesive adheres to the paper allowing its easy removal or removal and discarding the paper strips. Even when it is somewhat sticky and does not stick permanently. In contrast, the "Paper Direct" product uses a peel-off adhesive. (Generally, the adhesions of "ultra-removable" adhesives to their higher adhesion levels (to a surface such as a stainless steel) are about half of what they are for conventional "peel-off" adhesives. Conventional adhesives provide full contact with a substrate while ultra-peel adhesives provide partial contact.This limited contact area is what prevents an ultra removable adhesive from becoming permanent over time.To assist the sheet that is being fed to the printer or the copier the guide edge of entry of this is preferably flattened, contrary to the product "Paper Direct." The substrate, before making sheet, is preferably flattened with molds of flattened texture before reaching the cutting station of its surface The flattening step is also preferably carried out after the printing operation on the substrate where Identifying and explaining information is printed on the face sheet of the card sheet. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, taking into consideration the above description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES OF THE INVENTION. A number of different embodiments and manufacturing processes of the dry card laminate construction of this invention are illustrated in the drawings and are described in detail below. A representative construction is generally illustrated as 200 in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7. Referring to Figure 4, the sheet construction 200 is formed by extrusion coating a low density polyethylene (LDPE) film 204 over a bleached and densified kraft paper liner sheet (base paper or material). base) 208 that is not siliconized. The thin molded extrusion LDPE film 204 is non-oriented. A suitable liner sheet 208 with a layer 204 is available from Schoeller Technical Papers of Pulaski, New York, USA. The extrusion-treated liner sheet is laminated to a front face facing sheet (or card stock) 212 using a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) 216 heat fuse. The front reserve face sheet 212, the adhesive film 216 and the film 204 form the laminate 220. The front reserve face sheet 212 may be a business card stock for jet ink or current jet available from the bin Monadnock and that has good impression and whiteness. Adhesive film 216 may be a conventional heat melt adhesive such as the hot melt adhesive H2187-01 available from Ato Findlay, Inc. of Wauwatusa, Wis., Or the hot melt adhesive compositions of rubber of the type taught in U.S. Patent 3,239,478 (Harian, Jr.). The requirements for PSA heat melting are not very demanding. The PSA film 216 only requires securing the front reserve face sheet 212 to the LDPE film 204 of the dry release base material or the liner sheet 208, such that the overall laminated and dry front face reserve construction 224 is delamination on the lining sheet-LDPE when a user seeks to peel off the liner, and not on a face of the front face reserve sheet 212. A preferred example of this front-end dry laminate construction 224 is the product "Dry Tag" (or Dry Label) as manufactured in the Fasson Roll Division of Avery Dennison Corporation. The front reservation face sheet 212 may alternatively be fluorescent paper, high gloss paper or thermal transfer label paper. A preferred high gloss photo paper that can be used is the reservation of glossy cards which is available from Rexam Graphics of Portland, Oregon, USA. and having a thickness of about 0.2032 millimeters (mm) (8 mils).
The preferred thicknesses of each of the layers of the front reservation face laminate construction 224 are as detailed below: the lining sheet 208, 0.0762 mm (3.0 mil); the film LDPE film 204, from 0.02032 to 0.0254 mm (from 0.8 to 1.0 mil); Adhesive film 216 from 0.01524 to 0.01905mm (from 0.60 to 0.75 mil); and the frontal reserve face sheet 212 - from 0.2108 or 0.2159 to 0.2286 mm (8.3 or 8.5 to 9.0 thousand). Alternatively, the liner sheet 208 plus the film 204 may have a thickness of 0.0889mm (3.5 mil). Another alternative is that the thickness of the front reserve face sheet 212 and the cover sheet 208 are approximately 0.1524 and 0.0762 mm (6.0 and 3.0 mil), respectively, or approximately 0.1778 and 0.0508 (7.0 and 2.0 mil), respectively. The LDPE film 204 will not noticeably affect the flexibility of the blade construction. Rather, it is the thickness of the frontal reserve 212 that is the most significant factor. To support the gathering and feeding of the laminated construction 224 in the printer or copier 230, the guiding edge 234 may be, in accordance with a definition of this invention, calendared or recessed as shown in FIG. 6. More particularly, a 1.11 cm (7/16 inch) wide portion of the leading end 234 can be recessed with a calender die to reduce the gauge from 0.3302 mm to 0.2540 (13 thousand to 10 thousand) for example . In addition to flattening the guiding edge 234 of the front reservation face laminate construction, additional processing steps are required to form the sheet construction 200. A key step is to form cut lines 240 on and through the face laminate. front reservation. Referring to Figures 8 and 11, the cut lines 240 include frame cut lines 244 and coordinate cut lines (resembling a rejila), and the cut lines of the frame include cut-off lines 252 and cut lines of ends 264 of the sheet. The coordinate cutting lines 240 form a coordinate of horizontally and vertically spaced cutting lines 270, 274 in the central area 264. Therefore, the coordinate cutting lines 248 and the cutting lines of the frame 244 form the perimeters of the medium rectangular 280, such as business cards. Figure 8 shows that the preferred number of rectangular means 280 is ten, aligned in two columns of five each and surrounded by a frame 260. FIG. 11 shows that the preferred dimensions 284, 288, 292, 296, and 298 are 1.27cm (14 inch), 8.89cm (3 14 inches), 0.87cm (11/32 inch) 0.95cm (3/8 inch) and 5.08cm (2 inches) respectively. The cut lines of the front reservoir 240 extend through the construction of the front reservoir 224 and up to but not through the liner sheet 208. If the cut lines of the front reservoir 240 are passed through the liner sheet 208, the front reserve face laminate construction 224 could be separated into the rectangular means 280 and the frame 260 as well as separated from each other. The separate and small means can not be effectively passed through the printer or the copier 230 for a printing operation on them. In contrast, the front reserve cutting lines 240 do not pass through the lining sheet 208. However, the liner-sheet continuous 208, while this would secure the (ten) rectangular means 280 and the frame 260 together during the printing operation, they could make the sheet 200 construction too rigid, lacking the flexibility to pass through the curved feeding steps of the printers or copiers. In some of the figures showing the back or front of the lining of the sheet construction, the front reserve cut lines 240 are shown in dotted lines to delineate their relationships with the liner sheet strips as detailed below. Although the front reserve cutting lines 240 and the sheet-liner cutting lines that are detailed below are preferably formed by mold cutting, other techniques such as laser cutting or using a circular cutting blade as it is well known to those skilled in the art, are within the scope of this invention. Thus, according to the present invention, the cutting lines of the sheet-liner 330 are formed in the lining sheet 208, through the lining sheet and up to but not through the front reserve face laminate 224. These divide the lining sheet 208 in lining strips 304. The sheet-liner cutting lines 300 provide flexibility to the construction of the sheet 200 and according to some of the expressions of this invention, adequate flexibility. However, for others, the flexibility is not enough, so these expressions provide that some of the strips are removed from the front face facing laminate 224 to form the sheet construction which is passed through the printer or the printer. copier 230. More importantly, when removing some of the liner strips, the amount of curling or crimping indicated on the (printed) medium is reduced. The remaining strips 308, however, must be large enough to hold the cut front face laminate 224 together during the printing operation. In other words, the shape and location of the remaining strips 308 are selected first to provide the necessary flexibility for the sheet and at the same time to minimize the rooting or corrugation and also to provide the necessary integrity of the sheet. In particular, according to the preferred expressions, the remaining strips cover all the cutting lines of the front reserve 240 which are parallel to the feed entrance edge of the sheet. Where the sheet will be fed in the portrait direction to the printer or copier 230, the cut lines of the front cover reserve extend across the sheets.
The expressions of Figure 7 show the remaining strips 308, 340 which are relatively thin, but in any case covering and surpassing or partially coinciding the cut lines of the frontal reserve. Figure 10 gives the dimensions of the construction of the sheet 200 and the remaining strips 308. The dimensions of 312, 316, 320 and 328 are 2.22 cm (7/8 pilg.), 1.90 cm (3Á in.), 3.17 cm. (1% in.), 21.59 cm (8 14 in.) And 27.94cm (11 in.) Respectively. In contrast, the remaining strips 340 in the construction of the sheet as shown generally at 350 in Figure 13 are wider. The dimensions of the strips and the sheets are shown in Figure 14 by the dimensions 354, 358, 362, 366 and 370, these being 3.17cm (1 in.), 1.27cm (14 in.), 3.81 cm (1 14 in.), 21.59 cm (8 14 in.) And 27.94 cm (11 in.) Respectively. Figures 9A and 9B are amplified views of the cross section of the first and second alternatives in sheet constructions of this invention. They are, for example, alternatives to the bleached and densified / LDPE kraft paper component of Figure 9. The relative thicknesses of the layers are not presented in these drawings. The alternate constructions that are generally shown at 372 in Figure 9A use vinyl or other films cast in their casting sheets. Referring to Figure 9A, the front reservation label or other sheet of paper is shown by reference numeral 374a. The PSA film, vinyl or molded film, and the molded sheet are labeled with reference numerals, 374b, 374c and 374d, respectively. The reference numerals 375a and 375b describe the cut lines of the front reserve and the cut lines of the liner. Similarly, the second alternative that is generally shown at 375 in Figure 9B includes a label in the front reservation or other front paper 377a, a PSA 377b layer, a # 1 377c film, a # 2 377d film and a liner 377e. The front reserve face and the cut lines are shown by reference numerals 378 a and 378 b, respectively. While the sheet constructions 200, 350 show the cutting lines of the sheet-liner and therefore the strips 308, 340 extending straight through the sheet, the construction of the sheet 380 has its cutting lines of its liner-sheet extending diagonally across the back of the front reserve face laminate. This construction is shown in Figure 15 and Figure 15 shows the dimensions 390, 392, 394, and 398, which can be 2.54cm (1 in.), 5.08cm (2 in.), 1.27cm (14 in. ) and 3.81 cm (1 14 in.) respectively. The blade construction 380 includes all of the diagonal lining strips 388 still located in the front face facing laminate during a printing operation. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to remove (detach) one or more of the strips before the printing operation. An arrangement would remove alternating diagonal strips. However, it may be that the remaining (diagonal) strips do not provide the sheet with sufficient integrity to prevent tilting of the leaves on the cut lines of the front reserve. The cutting lines of the sheet-liner 300, 384 are discussed above and as shown in the drawings of the corresponding figures, all are straight lines. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to make them curved or corrugated, and one embodiment of a sheet construction having corrugated or curved lines 412 is generally illustrated at 416 in Figure 17. There it can be seen that the lines of cutting the sheet-liner 412 on opposite sides of the strips 420 formed therein are of opposite images. With reference to FIG. 18 the preferred dimensions 424, 428, 432, 436 and 442 are 2.14cm (27/32 in.), 2.54cm (1 in.), 3.41 cm (11/32 in.), 8.89cm (3 14 in. ), 1.90cm (3Á in.), And 21.59cm (8 14 in.), Respectively. The embodiment of the sheet construction 416 is fed to the printer or the copier 230 in the condition as illustrated in Figure 17, that is, none of the lining strips have been removed. A variation to this is illustrated by the sheet construction that is generally shown at 450 in Figure 19 where alternate strips (five strips in the form of glasses) have been removed by exposing the back surface of the front face facing laminate as shown in FIG. shows at 454. It is also within the scope of the present invention that the cut lines of the sheet-liner and thus the liner strips do not extend from one side or edge of the sheet to the other. A sheet construction expressing such a configuration is shown in Figure 19A generally at 455. Essentially the only difference between the blade construction 455 in Figure 19A and the blade construction 450 in Figure 19 is that the cutting lines of the Wavy lining sheet do not extend from one side of the sheet to the other. Rather, they for near the center of the lining sheet and short connecting lines 457a, 457b form pairs of fish-shaped strips, which are located opposite, which when removed expose pairs of portions 458a, 458b of strips in the shape of fish that lie opposite each other in the front reserve face laminate. (For the straight cut lines of the sheet-liner, instead of the wavy cut lines, the exposed shapes would be rectangles instead of fish-like shapes.) The strips 459 of the lining sheet remain between the adjacent pairs of the sheets. connecting lines 457a, 457b. The strips 459 cover portions of the cutting lines of the central vertical front reserve face and therefore assist in maintaining the integrity of the construction of the sheet. The flexibility of the constructions of the leaves at both ends of these is important. Accordingly, referring to Figure 20, the flexible cut lines 460 are formed on the extra strips of the lining 452 extending the width of the strips in the sheet construction mode that is generally shown at 454 and which is similar to the wide strip mode of Figure 13. The dotted lines in that figure show the locations of the cut lines of the front reservation 240 in the face reserve face laminate 220 and are included in the figure to illustrate the relative location of the cutting lines of the sheet-liner 300 (and the strips formed therein) and the cutting lines of the front reserve 240. As can be seen, the flexibility lines 460 are located between the ends of the construction of the sheet and the cutting lines of the adjacent end frame 256. This provides flexibility to the end portions of the disposable frame 260. The flexibility lines 460 are preferably formed in the same operation (cut by im pressure) than in the cutting lines of the sheet-liner 300. Therefore, another way to look at the flexibility lines 460, is that they are simply cutting lines of the sheet-liner at the ends of the lining sheet 208 where the adjacent strips that form there are not removed. The thin liner strips are removed from the locations 474 in the illustrated embodiment. The remaining wide strips 478 are located on, covering and surpassing each of the horizontal grid lines of the front reservation. A preferred embodiment of the liner sheet or the cut lines of the sheet-liner 300 and the liner strips is illustrated by the sheet construction that is generally shown at 482 in Figure 21. Referring to this, it is seen that Cutting lines of the sheet-liner form three different types of strips, i.e., (two) extreme wide strips 485, (four) central wide strips 490 and (ten) thin strips 494. The extreme wide strips 486 are provided to both ends of the sheet and the entire width of the sheet extends and along the entire edge of the sheet. The flexible cutting lines 496 are provided at each of the ends of wide strips 486, located similarly to those of the embodiment of Figure 19. The central wide strips 490 cover each of the horizontal grid lines of the front reservation. These are not as wide as the corresponding strips in Figure 19. Therefore, more than the vertical cut lines of the front reserve frame are exposed on the side of the sheet liner. This can result in them curling and becoming entangled as the sheet curves as it passes through the printer or copier 230. Accordingly, the sheet construction 482 of Figure 21 provides thin strips 494 located between and parallel. to the wide strips 486, 490. These thin strips 494 cross over each of the vertical cut lines of the frontal reserve and thus prevent the latent problem of the undulation. Two of the thin strips are provided between each of the neighboring broad strips. Of course, it is within the scope of the present invention to provide only a thin strip between the various wide strips or to provide more than two thin strips, or to make them the same width as the wide strips or to eliminate them completely. The central wide strips 490 and the thin strips 494 all have round edges 500, 504. Each of the thin strips 494 and each of the central wide strips 490 extend a distance beyond the vertical frame cut lines, but not to the edge of the sheet. In other words, a lining edge or a margin is left on both sides extending between the extreme wide strips 486. What this means is that the "strips" of the lining sheet that are removed after the cut lines of the sheet -forming are made and before the construction of the sheet is sent to the user for a printing operation they are interconnected in a substrate or a matrix. That is, all the portions of the liner (or the strips) between the thin strips 494 and the adjacent wide strips 486, 490 and between the adjacent thin strips are connected to the edges or margins and therefore to each other in a continuous substrate. or in a matrix. Thus, by taking any portion of this matrix, and preferably by taking a corner thereof, the entire matrix can be detached from the frontal reservation face laminate essentially in one step. As will be described with reference to Figure 25, each of the matrices of the substrate of the sheet construction is wound on a roll and the roll is subsequently discarded. This is easier, lighter, faster and less expensive than pulling an individual number of disposable liner strips from the front reserve face laminate as it is done when the strips are not interconnected. The dimensions of the strips and their spaces as shown by dimensions 512, 516, 520, 524, 528 and 532 in Figure 22 are 21.59 cm (8 1/4 in.), 20.32 cm (8 in.), 0.635 cm (% in.), 0.635 cm (in.), 1,905 cm (% in.) and 0.3175 cm (1/8 in.) respectively. Both end edges are flattened as can be seen in Figure 23 to 536, preferably on the side of the front reservoir, but in the portion of the disposable frame and not extending to the central area of the printable medium. Alternately and referring to the sheet construction that is generally shown at 538 in Figure 24, both sides may be flattened or only the side of the sheet liner as shown at 540. A schematic view of the system and the process for manufacturing the laminated sheet construction 482 of Figure 21 is illustrated in Figure 25 generally at 550. Each of the successive steps or stations is illustrated from left to right in that drawn figure. As shown, a substrate 554 of the dry front face facing laminate formed as previously described and wound on a roll 558 is delivered from the Fasson Division of Avery Dennison, for example, to the press enclosure, such as a press Model 1618 of Webtron (Canada). In the press enclosure, the roll 558 is wound with the front face up and the side face down and is delivered to the printing station which is generally shown at 562 and which includes a print cylinder 566, an anilox roll 570 and an ink supply 574. At the printing station 562, the indications with identifying and desired information on the front lamination reserve such as in the portion of the frame are printed. These indications may include the product identification code, the name and logo of the distributor or manufacturer and the numbers of patents that exist. The substrate 554 is then brought to the rotating station which is generally shown at 580 where a rotation bar 584 rotates the substrate so that the side of the liner is face up and the side of the front reservoir is face down for the delivery to the flattening station. In the flattening station which is generally shown at 588 and which includes an anvil 592 and a flattening mold 596, both edges of the substrate on the side of the front reservation thereof are flattened by an approximate 1.11 cm (7/16 inch) ), from a thickness of 0.24mm (13.4 mil.) to a thickness of approximately 0.2641 mm (10.4 mil.). The substrate 554 is furthermore carried to the two cutting stations per mold. The front cutting station that is generally shown at 600 includes an anvil 604 and a mold for the frontal cut 608, with the anvil located above. At this station the front of the substrate 554 is cut to the liner but without cutting the liner to create the business card shapes on the face with the cut lines, as described above. In the liner cutting station as generally shown at 620, the anvil 624 is located below the liner cutting mold 628, in a relative arrangement opposite that of the front cutting station 600. The lining at this station 620 is cut off by mold to the front but without cutting the front. In these mold cutting stations 600, 620 a bridge is placed on the carriers of the molds, which forces the blades of the molds to cut in the predetermined portion of the compass of the caliber or the thickness of the substrate. This portion is known as a step and is the difference between the carrier and the end of the cutting knives per mold. The smaller the step, the deeper the cut in the substrate, as understood by those with knowledge in the mold cutting technique. The liner cutouts form the disposable die 640 of the liner sheet. This die 640 is lifted and pulled from the substrate 554 and wound into a roll 644 in the waste matrix station, which is generally 648. The finished substrate 652 is thus formed and delivered to the sheeting station. The flattening station 588, the front cutting station 600, the cutting station of the liner 620 and the waste matrix station 648 can essentially be located in any order with the exception that the waste matrix station should follow the station of waste. lining cut. The sheet forming station is generally shown at 660 and includes an anvil 664 and a cylinder for making sheets 668. The wide substrate of 27.94 cm (11 in.) 652 is formed into sheets adjacent to the leaves of 21.59 cm (8 inches). in.) 672. Of course, if different sizes of sheets 672 (or 482) are desired (such as 21.59 x 35.56 cm (8 14 x 14 in.) or A4 size) then the width of the substrate and / or the distance of sheet formation can be altered or selected as required. The end sheet constructions 672 (or 482) are shown stacked in a heap 680 in the stacking or bundling station, which is generally illustrated at 684. Each stacking 680 of sheets can then be packaged and distributed to the user through stacked channels. regular or normal commercial distribution. The user then unpacks the sheets and stacks them at a height 686 in the input tray 694 of a printer (particularly a jet printer or jet) or a copier 230, as shown in Figure 12. (The Figure 12 shows the construction of sheets 200 and not so 482.) The construction of sheets 482 has given good proof in tests of automatic feeding of ten-sheet highs (684) in the following printers: HP DH 550 / 660C, Canon BJC 4100, Canon BJC 620, Epson Stylus Color 600 and Epson Stylus Color II. The printer or copier 230 preferably should not have temperatures above the melting point of LDPE used in sheet construction. During the printing operation by these printers 230, the desired indications 690 are printed on each of the printable media or on the cards. These 690 indications may include the name of the user (or owner of the card), the charge, the company or signature, the address, the telephone number, the fax number, and / or the email address, as desired . The printed sheet constructions are shown in the output tray 694 of the printer 230 in Figures 4 and 12. Figure 4 shows manual feeding of the sheet constructions. The individual printed media or business cards 700 are then detached from the remainder of the sheet construction in an operation as shown in Figure 5, for example. The rest of the front reserve face laminate frame and the liner strip product are discarded. The result is a reserve of 700 printed business cards, sharp and precise. Each of the 700 cards has clean mold cutting edge defining its total perimeter. The cards 700 were efficiently and quickly printed by the process (s) of this invention, since the sheet constructions can be stacked in the input tray and automatically fed into and through the printer 230, contrary to what happens. with the previous technique. A further preferred embodiment of the present invention is generally shown at 710 in Figure 26. The blade construction 710 is similar to the blade construction 482 with the exception of one end of the blade - the upper end as shown in the Figure 26. Referring to this, the face reserve face laminate 220 (and / or the liner sheet 208) is not flattened to make the end edge of the blade construction 710 thinner and therefore more easily fed and efficiency to the printer or the copier. Instead, a half-inch strip of the front reserve face laminate 220 is peeled away from the liner sheet leaving only a thin feed liner strip 714 at the end of the sheet construction. The entry liner strip 714 is well suited for vertical feeding printers as it allows the sheet to curve easily under the entry rolls. The flattened opposite end is well suited for feeding to parallel feed printers due to the straight passage that the sheets assume to contact the feed rollers. The indicia can be printed on the frame (the front) of the front face facing laminate 224 instructing the user in relation to which end of the blade construction 710 defines the entry end for the vertical feed printers and for the printers of horizontal feeding. A preferred embodiment of the sheet constructions 710 removes the end liner strip 716 defined by line 496. Two alternate systems or methods for detaching the front reserve face laminate strips are illustrated in Figure 25. For both expressions only one edge is flattened in the flattening station 588. According to one, the front face facing laminate is cut to mold by the mold 720 (and the anvil 722) along the mold cutting line 724 (FIGS. -28) in the disassembled station that is generally shown at 728 and the strip removed from the substrate is shown by the date 732. (Alternatively, the front reservation can be found above the substrate for this step.) The cut line by mold 724 can be the same as the cutting line of the upper frame so there is no "frame" along the top. The disassembled substrate is then wound onto a roll (558) and located at a position on the plant 588 as shown by arrow 736. The disassembled roll is placed back on the press preceding station 562, in the same place as 558, as shown in Figure 25. The other system or method does not use the separate disassembly station 728.
Instead the disassembly is carried out in the plant 550. The mold cutting line 724 is made in the front cutting station 600. The front reserve strip is then removed in the termination station which is generally shown at 740, which can be part of the waste matrix station 648. In the termination station 740, the front strip 744 is wound around a driven roller 748 and is exhausted using an air line 752 to a vacuum system. The arrangement of having one end of the blade construction formed by the rescission of a strip (744) of the front sheet (such as a front face facing laminate) detached from a backing sheet (such as a lining sheet) it can be used not only in the construction of sheets 710 and the other sheet constructions previously described but also in generally any multi-sheet construction. An example of this is a sheet construction that is generally shown at 780 in Figures 27 and 28. Referring to this, for example, the front face reserve laminate construction is the same as that in Figure 26. Similarly, it has with front cut lines 240, strip cut line 724, and flattened end 536. However, liner 212 is a solid sheet with no cut lines or strips formed or removed. Instead of a dry laminated and dry construction, it can simply be a front sheet adhered directly to a backing sheet with an adhesive. The separation lines of the front sheet (240) instead of being cut by mold can be micro-perforated. This construction still has the advantage of an efficient feed to a vertical feed printer using one end of the construction as the input end and using the other for an efficient feed to a horizontal feed printer. A preferred construction of a laminated sheet of the present invention is illustrated in Figures 29A and 29B generally at 800 and is a remarkable improvement over the product of the prior art "Direct Paper previously discussed." It represents a first version of a sheet construction. Business card of inventions A second version of the construction of a business card sheet is generally shown at 804 in Figures 30A and 30B The invention can also be easily adapted for applications (printable media) other than business cards, such as greetings cards and postcards The first, second, third and fourth versions of the greetings card sheet constructions of the present invention are generally shown at 808, 812, 816 and 820 in Figures 31, 32, 33 and 34, respectively (The designations "A" and "B" for each of Figures 29-36 refer to the views of the sides front and back of each of the respective sheet constructions.) Similarly, the first and second versions of a sheet construction of a postal card of the invention are generally shown at 824 and 828 in Figures 35 and 36. The direction of the machine is designated by arrow 830. A cross sectional view of one or more of the sheet constructions of Figures 29-36 is generally shown at 832 in Figure 37. The variations and alternatives of this view of the cross section will be discussed later. What all the sheet constructions of FIGS. 29-36 have in common is a front reservation face sheet 836, direct cutting lines that define at least substantially the perimeters of the printable media, the lining strips 844 in FIG. the back of the sheet that covers many of the direct cut lines and holds the sheets together as a sheet building unit to pass through a copier or printer. The front reservation face sheet 836 is preferably a card-type reserve face sheet. Referring to Figure 37, the liner strips 844 are preferably paper strips adhered to the front reserve face sheet with an ultra removable adhesive 848. The ultrafolding adhesive 848 may be the acrylic suspension polymer based on the water base. Fasson (made in accordance with US Patent 5,656,705) or the CleanTac II adhesive available from Moore. As an example, the lining strips 844 can be paper # 50 of lithography without a previous base layer covering (white or canary color). The card face reservation sheet 836 may have or include a front layer
852 (Figure 37), and the front bath can be a color optimized laser layer or a color optimized layer of a jet or jet ink. The jet ink jet, for example, is a color optimized layer that is provided to enhance the appearance of aqueous ink inalterability in ink propellants on selected substrates (card stocks). The card backup face sheet 836 may also have or include a backup layer 856 receiving an adhesive. A base layer of liner 860, such as that of a base of a polyvinyl alcohol with silicon available from Fasson or a base available from Moore, can also be provided, made sandwich between the adhesive film 848 layer and the strips or paper liner 844 The examples of reservation of 836 cards that can be used are: (1) inkjet (without bath) (a) Monadnock Paper Mills: Cover 65 # (white, winter white and antique gray) and (b) Monadnock Paper Mills : Text 100 # (white, winter white and old gray); (2) propulsion ink or jet (with bath) (a) Monadnock Paper Mills: C1S Light weight (white, winter white and old gray), (b) Monadnock Paper Mills: C1S Heavy weight (white, winter white and old gray) ) and (c) Mitsubishi Paper Mills: Brilliant or bright C1S (white); (3) laser (without bath) (a) Fox Ríver Paper Co .: Text 100 # (white, natural and cold gray), and (b) Boise Cascade: in offset (white); and (4) laser (with bath) (a) Monadnock Paper Mills: C1 S with bath "Nairobi" or "Harmony" (white) and (b) Nakagawa: C1S magnetic substrate. Referring to Figure 37, examples of the sectional thicknesses crossing from the top to the bottom through the sheet construction are: front bath of the 852 card stock (approximately 0.0254 mm (1.0 mil.)), reserve cards 836 (approximately 0.1778 to 0.2337 mm (7.0-9.2 mils.)), backup backing board 856 cards (approximately 0.0025 mm (0.1 mil)), adhesive layer 848 (approximately 0.0051 to 0.0064 mm (0.20- 0.25 mil.)), Liner base bath 860 (approximately 0.0025 to 0.0127 mm (0.1-0.5 mil.)) And back sheet 844 (approximately 0.0711 to 0.1016 mm (2.8 - 4.0 mils.)). To assist in the construction of the sheet to be consistent and precisely lift and feed the printer or copier, the leading edge (and the opposite end) of the sheet construction can be flattened or flattened, as shown in several pages. of the drawings of the figures at 864. More particularly, the thickness of the entrance end of the sheet (or of the laminated substrate 870 during the manufacturing process - see Figure 38 and the conversations on these that follow) is reduced by fifteen or twenty-five percent. The flattening can only be for the reservation of cards 836 and / or for the reservation of cards and the liner or the paper strip 844. Alternatively, the paper strip 844 closest to the entrance edge of the construction of the sheet it may be parallel to and spaced at a small distance (eg, a quarter of an inch) from the entry edge of the card stock, as shown in several of the figures with the reference number of 872. This reduces the thickness of the ends of the card. the income from the construction of the sheet. Additionally, the uncovered or exposed entry edge 872 (0.635 cm (1/4 inch)) of the card reservoir 836 may be flattened, if desired, to thereby further reduce the thickness of the entry end. The process (s) for making the sheet constructions of Figures 29-36 are similar to the previously mentioned process (s) for making dry laminate sheet constructions of this invention. These are illustrated schematically in Figure 38. Referring to these, the rolled roll 874 (which includes the card stock 836 laminated to the paper liner 844 with the ultra-peel adhesive 848) is found in the unwinding station 880. One way to form roll 874 is the apply, in a first place, the adhesive to the paper and roll it in itself and then deliver it to a second place where it is laminated to the card stock to form the roll. Another way to form the roll is for the card stock to be delivered from a second site to the first where it is rolled and rolled, and the roll is then delivered to the second site. The roll 874 is rolled up with the front side of the substrate 870 up and the side of the substrate lining down. The substrate 870 in this orientation passes to the printing station 884 where the printing rollers 888, 892 print the desired indications (not shown) on the front side of the substrate (eg, the front bath of the card reservation) . The indications may include the name of the distributor or manufacturer and / or the logo, the product code number, the patent number (s), the instructions for feeding the sheet to the printer and so on. The printed substrate 870 then passes to the rotation assembly of the substrate 896, which turns the substrate so that the side of the liner 870a of the substrate is up and the front side 870b is below. The flattening station 900 is as follows and includes an anvil roll 904 and a flattening mold 908 that flattens the "inlet" edge of the substrate. Flattening molds 908 preferably have a randomly textured textured finish. In contrast to a smooth t the textured molds 908 grip the substrate 870 and keep it flat and even during the flattening process. The textured flattening end (864) also assist the print rollers to grip the sheet construction for feeding the same. The substrate 870 then passes to the front cutting station 916, which includes an anvil roller 920 and a front cutting mold 924, and direct cutting lines 840 on the front reserve face sheet 836 (but which do not pass through lining 844) are formed in this station to define the perimeters of printable media (eg, business cards, greetings cards, postcards, etc.). The liner cutting station 930, which includes the liner cutting mold 934 and the anvil roll 936, is the next station in this manufacturing process. In this station 930 the portion of the continuous liner sheet of the substrate 870 is cut by mold to form the alternating cover strips 844 and the waste strips 938 on the back of the card reserve face sheet 836. The cover strips 844 cover the mold and horizontal cutting lines of the card reserve face sheet, i.e., the direct cut lines 840, which are parallel along the entry edge of the card reserve face sheet 836. The waste strips 938 are between the cover strips 844. The (separate) waste paper strips 938 are removed (peeled off) in the termination station 942, which may include a matrix rewind mandrel 946 Alternately, waste strips 938 can be removed from the substrate by a blow system. The substrate 870 then passes to the sheet composition station 950 where the substrate is cut or made into sheet to the desired dimension (width), such as in 21.59 x 27.94 cm (8.5 x 11 inch) sheets, as they are shown by a high of them to 954. The sheets can then be packaged in sets, placed in boxes and distributed to the user through regular commercial channels as is already known. The sheets are then unpacked and fed by the user through the printer or the copier (see Figures 4 and 12) as for example for a printing operation on the front (and back) side of a front face reservation sheet in its printable medium and for its subsequent separation. Although a unique substrate process is illustrated in Figure 38, it is also within the scope of the present invention to use a two substrates process or system. The single-substrate process utilizes a laminated 870 substrate for eleven-inch wide card reservation. By contrast, a system of double substrate changes the direction of the substrate through the stations or presses and uses a roll of seventeen inches wide, that is, flows two sides per side of a substrate of 21.59 x 21.59 cm (8.5 x 8 ,5 inches). Some of today's presses allow the processing of a wider substrate width. An example of the double substrate system is the "Arsoma" press. Contrary to the system or process detailed in Figure 38, a substrate winding assembly 896 is not provided or is not needed, since the printing station 884 can print either on top or on the underside of the substrate 870. The preferred dimensions and configurations for each of the versions of business card expressions, greetings cards and postcards as detailed in Figures 29-36 will now be discussed. Without taking the opinion of which vendor or supplier (eg, Fasson or Moore) is used, the liner sheet 844 and the construction of the adhesive 848 will preferably be the same for each of the expressions. However, card reservation 836 would change for expressions (as well as if the sheet construction is intended for use with jet or jet ink or laser). For the use of jet or jet ink a little more ink absorbency is required to allow the molds to penetrate the ink and remain adhered to them. In contrast, for laser printing, a plastic toner (toner) is used, which melts in the reservation of 836 cards, so a somewhat different surface treatment is required to obtain a good adhesion of the toner and a good transfer of heat through the card reservation material so as to currently join the plastic to the reservation of cards. For the three expressions, the greatest difference in the reservation of cards 836 used is the thickness. Business cards are usually thicker and somewhat stiffer than business cards and postcards. For example, an average of 0.02083 -0.2286 mm (8.2 - 9.0 mils.) Against an average of 0.01879 -0.1930 mm (7.4-7.6 mils.). The modality of the greetings card would probably have a indicated fold line 960 formed in the mold-cut station of the front reservation and that is incorporated into the same mold. The postcards are preferably of a standard of 10.16 x 15.24 cm (4 x 6 inches) in size and the additional cutting lines 964 to the top and bottom provide additional flexibility for feeding and the passage of the construction of the sheet by the printer or the copier. These can also be provided for greetings cards. Optional 968 short-side perforated lines can also be provided to increase the flexibility of the blade construction. Preferred dimensions (inches in parentheses) for construction 800, which refers to Figures 29A and 29B are 970a 1.11 cm (7/16), 970b 0.158 cm (1/16), 970c 0.95cm (3/8), 970d 8.89cm (3-1 / 2), 970e 1.27cm (1/2), 970f 1.27cm (1/2), 970g 1.90cm (3/4), 970h 1.90cm (3/4), 970I 5.08cm (2), 970j 1.27cm (1/2), 970k 1.90cm (3/4), 970m 21.59cm (8-1 / 2) and 970n 3.81cm (1-1 / 2).

Instead of providing the complete laminated paper backing to the card stock, cutting it with a mold and removing the waste strips, an alternate manufacturing method of this invention will now be described. A card stock substrate (one that does not have a laminated paper liner to it) is unwound from a roll and with the indications printed on it. The lines in cross direction are cut by a whole mold and then the individual paper strips are laminated (with ultra removable adhesive) to the card stock substrate at the desired locations. The next step is to cut the substrate with machine direction by mold. The flattening of the edge of the substrate can be done just before the printing step or immediately before the step of cutting by mold with machine direction. After the step of cutting by mold with machine direction, the substrate becomes sheet and the sheets are stacked, packed, placed in boxes and distributed. From the detailed descriptions set forth above, it will be apparent that there are a number of changes, adaptations and modifications of the present invention that are within the control of those skilled in the art. For example, print media instead of business cards can be postcards, cards with small folds, meeting cards or photo frames. However, the intention is that all such variations do not depart from the spirit of the invention and are considered within its scope.
