Abstract: A method for producing a mass distributable printed packet is disclosed wherein a web of paper has printed thereon a format of successive rectangular pieces in a plurality of longitudinal lines extending parallel to the edges of the web, the web is cut longitudinally between the print patterns and the thus-formed strips are superposed in vertical registry of the printed patterns. The superposed strips are then cut to form sets of printed pieces which sets are each placed within an individual outer container.

Abstract: A sample packet for creams and the like comprises a sheet having a coating for preventing absorption of a cream and further including a score line for defining first and second panels. A continuous line of adhesive is applied to one of the panels. The second panel is folded into overlying relation with the first panel and is secured thereto by the adhesive, the panels cooperate with the adhesive for defining a reservoir. The second panel includes a frangible pull tab overlying the reservoir, the frangible pull tab adapted for being severed from the second panel for thereby causing the reservoir to be opened.

Abstract: A relatively flat packet for distributing thin layers of material, which provide a substantial recess so as to limit the possibility of contact with surfaces that could impair the integrity of the layer of material enclosed in the packet item from smearing and abrasion.

Abstract: The present invention describes a pre-treated recording media capable of receiving a high resolution aqueous-based ink jet printed layer as well as a method of preparing the same, wherein the method comprises the steps of: printing a recording media with an oil-based printing ink; drying the oil-based ink layer; coating over the oil-based ink layer with a water-soluble adhesive-like substance; drying the coating of adhesive-like substance; ink jet printing an aqueous-based ink layer onto the adhesive-like substance; and, drying the aqueous-based ink jet printed layer.

Abstract: A cosmetic sampler comprises a first panel. A spreadable solid material overlies a portion of the first panel. A transparent panel overlies the first panel and includes a bubble portion overlying at least a portion of the material. A second panel overlies the first and transparent panels. The second panel is substantially opaque and includes a first window through which the bubble portion extends so that the underlying cosmetic material may be viewed.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an advertising pouch assembly for distributing advertising literature and the like to consumers through the mail or other appropriate means. The advertising pouch assembly is comprised of a first web and a second web. The second web is superimposed on the first web to form an inner pocket. In one embodiment of the advertising pouch assembly, the first web includes a closure flap, a backing panel, an advertising panel, a first business reply card panel, and a second business reply card panel. The second business reply card panel is folded along a hinge line and is secured to the first business reply card panel thus forming two business reply cards. The second web consists solely of a cover panel. The cover panel is secured to the backing panel in such a manner as to form a pocket whose opening is adjacent the closure flap. A portion of the cover panel is free from the backing panel to permit multiple sheets of literature to be inserted in the pocket by mechanical means.

Abstract: A method of fabricated double pop-up pamphlets from a continuous moving web applies glue binding strips for two sets of pop-up panels along a common transverse line of the web at an end of each printed pamphlet section.
