Abstract: A method of printing a certificate purchased online, such as a printed ticket, directions, a food coupon, a parking pass, a merchandise coupon or other types of certificates, may include purchasing at least one certificate across a computer network and printing the certificate onto the media using a desktop printer. The media may be a sheet having a plurality of separate printing areas separated by lines of weakness. In one embodiment of the media, a sheet has equally-sized printing areas separated into rows and columns by lines of weakness. In another embodiment of the invention, a consumer purchases one or more tickets across a computer network, and then prints the ticket or tickets using a desktop printer. The ticket may be printed onto a media having a ticket printing area defined on at least one edge by a line of weakness.

Abstract: A method of forming printable media including providing a laminate construction which includes (1) a film coated liner having a film layer on a liner and (2) a facestock adhered with an adhesive layer to the film layer of the film coated liner. The facestock, the film layer and the adhesive layer together form a laminate facestock. The facestock is cut to the liner to form facestock cut lines defining at least in part perimeters of printable media. Areas of the liner cover backsides of the facestock cut lines and thereby hold the printable media together for a printing operation on the printable media in a printer or copier and allow the printed media to be removed from the liner after the printing operation into individual printed media.

Abstract: A sheet mailer construction including a standard size paper sheet having two horizontal score lines and two horizontal perforation lines, forming a top flap, first and second panels, a tear-off panel and a bottom tear-off strip. Left and right vertical perforation lines define left and right sheet side edge tear-off strips. The user on his personal computer formats the desired indicia to be printed on the three panels using his (desk top ink jet) printer. After printing, the left side, right side and bottom tear-off strips are torn off, the tear-off panel is folded up towards the second panel, the first and second panels are folded together, and the top flap is folded onto the outside of the second panel. The mailer is mailed to the recipient who breaks the seal of the sticker holding the top flap to the second panel, unfolds the mailer, reads the printed information on the inside surfaces of the first and second panels, and tears off the tear-off panel.

Abstract: An 8½ by 11 inch paper sheet construction having a pattern of score and perforated lines formed thereon is provided to the user. The lines form corner tear-away strips, a central panel, left and right side flaps, and top and bottom flaps. The user enters into his computer the desired indicia to be printed on inside surfaces of one or more of the central panel and top and bottom flaps and the desired address indicia to be printed on the outside surface of the central panel, and then has the desired indicia and address indicia printed on the sheet construction by feeding it into his desk top printer. He then tears off the four corner tear-away strips. He next places the desired flat object(s) (such as postcards) he wants to mail on the inside surface of the central panel and folds the two side flaps in, the bottom flap up and the top flap down. A seal is then applied to releasably secure the top flap to the bottom flap.

Abstract: Ultraremovable adhesive is applied to a paper sheet to form therewith a liner sheet, and the liner sheet is laminated to a cardstock sheet to form a laminate cardstock. The cardstock sheet is then die cut therethrough, but not through the liner sheet, to form cardstock cut lines that define at least in part perimeters of business cards (or other printable media). The outer face of the liner sheet is then die cut therethrough, but not through the cardstock sheet, to form liner sheet strips on a back side of the cardstock sheet. Some of the strips define cover strips covering some of the cardstock cut lines, and others of the strips define waste strips. The waste strips are then matrix removed from the back of the cardstock sheet. According to a preferred (dry laminate) embodiment the only liner sheet die cut is parallel to the leading edge of the sheet and forms a narrow leading edge liner strip which is removed.
