Abstract: A laminated article includes a web releasably adhered to a carrier sheet having indicia imprinted thereon. The web includes a die cut top layer having indicia-imprinted separable pieces releasably adhered to a support layer. Upon separating the web from the carrier sheet, selected ones of the separable pieces can be releasably attached to the carrier whereby the respective indicia cooperate for the playing of a game or creation of a scene.
Abstract: A premium item including a sealed protective pouch having a premium object such as a coupon or sports card enclosed therein and method are provided which allow economical, continuous, on-line production of premium items without the need for individual handling of the premium objects. In the preferred method, a printed web having a backing sheet removably adhered thereto is continuously positioned on a carrier sheet having an adhesive coating, with the backing sheet in contact with the coating, whereupon the web and backing sheet are die-cut to produce a plurality of spaced-apart premium objects on the carrier sheet and a waste matrix which is then removed. A top sheet is then positioned over the premium objects with marginal portions of the top sheet adhering to corresponding marginal portions of the carrier sheet to form a continuous seal surrounding the premium objects and to form sealed protective pouches enclosing the premium objects.
