Patent number: 10878725Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a top substrate, a center layer adhered to the top substrate with a permanent adhesive, and a release liner adhered to the center layer with a removable adhesive. Perimeter cut lines extend through the top substrate and the center layer of the printable blank sheet and define a perimeter of an object blank in the printable blank sheet. A center cut line extends through the top substrate and into but not through the center layer on the object blank that defines a first object half and a second object half of the object blank.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Blank Acquisition, LLCInventor: Andrew R.

Patent number: 10787015Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with defined separation lines, a first layer with cuts running through the first layer along the defined separation lines, and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, with perforations running through the second layer along the defined separation lines. A method for creating custom print cards includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer to print on defined print areas, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet, bending the sheet along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines, and detaching the object from the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Blank Acquisition, LLCInventor: Benjamin Todd Carroll

Patent number: 10343369Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a first layer and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, slit-over-perforation line in the sheet, and an object held in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines define a periphery of the object in the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines include cuts running through the first layer, and perforations running through the second layer underneath the cuts running through the first layer. A method for creating custom print objects includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet. The sheet is bent along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines, and the object is detached from the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Blank Acquisition, LLCInventors: Benjamin Todd Carroll, Andrew R.

Patent number: 10214317Abstract: A printable blank comprises a sheet with a with outline perforation lines defining a periphery of an object. The sheet is capable of being passed through a printer to have an image printed on it. The sheet also comprises run-out perforation lines extending from the periphery to edges of the sheet, wherein the sheet can be folded along the run-out perforations to detach the object from the sheet. A method for creating custom print structures includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer and then bending the sheet along run-out perforation lines to detach an object from the sheet. The object can then be folded along scored fold lines to assemble it into a three-dimensional structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2015Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Blank Acquisition, LLCInventor: Benjamin Todd Carroll
