Abstract: To provide pop-up items a plurality of individual sheet material structures are die-cut in composite sheet material consisting of a front sheet and a rear liner sheet of release-coated material joined together by having a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pattern between the rear surface of the front sheet and the front surface of the rear liner sheet so that, upon separating the sheets, PSA releases from the release-coated rear sheet and adheres to the front sheet in at least desired regions. A folded structure results from the interconnection between panels of the structure constituting a pop-up element in which two individual flag panels are joined together, as by being affixed to each other by PSA. When the pop-up element is placed between a pair of facing panels of a folded basepiece, a PSA-carrying subpanel becomes affixed to facing surfaces of the panels, and upon pivoting of the sheets or panels to the open position, the pop-up element assumes an attention-attracting, 3-dimensional configuration.
