  • Patent number: 10878725
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20200130400
    Abstract: A folder blank includes a first body panel, a second body panel connected to the first body panel, a first pocket panel connected to the first body panel, a first diagonal line extending across the first pocket panel, a first horizontal scored line connected to the first diagonal line and extending across the first pocket panel, and a first dividing line extending between the first body panel and the first pocket panel. The first dividing line includes a first vertical cut line and a first vertical scored line in alignment with and connected to the first vertical cut line. The first pocket panel can be folded about the first dividing line, the first diagonal line, and the first horizontal scored line to move the first pocket panel from a vertical position to a horizontal position on the folder.

  • Publication number: 20200009831
    Abstract: A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a top substrate and a bottom layer, a dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer, cut lines in the sheet that extend through the top substrate and the dry lift adhesive but not through the bottom layer, and a folder pocket cut into the top substrate with a periphery of the folder pocket defined by the cut lines. The folder pocket can be removed from the sheet by separating the folder pocket and the bottom layer along the dry lift adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20190322073
    Abstract: 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.
