  • Patent number: 4813902
    Abstract: A greeting card blank is made from a piece of card stock and has first and second ends and sides perpendicular thereto. First, second and third fold lines are parallel to the ends, the first end and the first fold line defining a first panel, the first and second fold lines a second panel, the second and third fold lines a third panel and the third fold line and the second end a fourth panel. The first panel has a slot therethrough and a tab projects from the second end and is interengageable with the slot. The blank also has a round hole therethrough on its longitudinal centerline and near the third fold line. The blank is convertible to a self-standing greeting card by folding the blank along the fold lines and inserting the tab into the slot, with the first and fourth panels overlapping each other, the second panel providing a bottom panel and the third panel providing a front panel. The third panel bears a greeting card message.
