A disclosed three-dimensional advent calendar defines multiple predefined advent spaces thereon demarcating an advent. The 3d calendar includes multiple decorated advent objects designed complementary to multiple predefined advent spaces. The 3d calendar also includes an adherent on a back side of the decorated advent objects, the adherent configured to temporarily keep the decorated advent objects proximal a predefined advent space. The adherent includes magnets, hook and loop material and sticky substances. For instance, the 3d calendar includes a Christmas tree, a Disney Castle, a school graduation diploma, a bag of golf clubs and a baby crib. Exemplary decorated advent objects include Christmas tree ornaments, Mickey Mouse head shaped objects, school objects, golf clubs, and pacifiers. Similar life milestones and business 3d calendars and matching advent objects are also included. An advent demarcating method via the 3d calendar and decorated advent objects is further included in the disclosure.

A calendar has one or more individual pages of the calendar that include portions of the pages that are omitted, removed or removable in order to enable aligned portions of other pages of the calendar to be viewed through the removed portions. The removed portions can be fonned as apertures in the page and/or as removed portions of one or more edges of the page, among others to allow the stacked pages to form a coordinated, and optionally customizable, decorative appearance for the calendar.

A promotional item is arranged as a calendar having a magnetic sheet that acts as a label carrier. On a front side of the magnetic sheet are a plurality of peel-off labels that can be affixed to items such as medicine containers. The magnetic sheet can have advertising printed on the front side as well. The labels can be stacked so that there are multiple labels for each time period (month, week), and the labels have portions of scratch-off material for marking the passage of time (e.g. days) to indicate the item was used for a given time period, such as indicating that the medication was taken on a given day.

The present invention provides a self-standing paper product and a method for manufacturing the same. The manufacturing method at least includes: a step of forming a primary separating fold line, a step of forming a left vertical separating fold line, a right vertical separating fold line, a left horizontal separating fold line and/or a right horizontal separating fold line, and a step of erection and formation. A primary separating fold line, the left vertical separating fold line, the left horizontal separating fold line, the right vertical separating fold line, and the right horizontal separating fold line are formed on a single paper card for separation into a plurality of front presentation regions and folding regions, and the fold lines are then respectively folded to erect and form the regions, so as to form a self-standing paper product that at least includes a front presentation portion and a folding portion.

A anti-counterfeiting medium includes a support substrate, an OVD forming layer, and a latent image layer in this order. The latent image layer has plural regions with optical axes of a birefringent material aligned in directions different from each other. The OVD forming layer includes an uneven-structure-forming layer is made up of a first region and a second region, and a reflecting layer. The first region is a region made up of a flat part and plural convexities or concavities. The second region is configured by a flat part. Each of the plural convexities and concavities has a 0.3 to 5 m long side dimension and short side dimension and height or depth of 0.1 to 0.5 m or less.

A system of notebooks that are color-coded to relate to a particular class or subject. For example, a green notebook could relate to a Science class, a red notebook could relate to Math, etc. The notebooks are fashioned to employ different calligraphy. The system further includes control articles such as an agenda to track student progress using indicia and give rewards to the student for achieving predetermined milestones. The indicia correlates sections in the control article (agenda) with the notebooks or other items. Said indicia visually aids students, parents and teachers to track the student's progress and creating a habit of having an organized schedule for school.

In each page of a calendar or a notebook in which a rectangle paper is folded in eight with one side thereof divided into four equal parts and the other side thereof divided into two equal parts and each of front and rear regions of the rectangle paper divided into equal parts by folded lines serves as a page, an identifier which enables specification of the position of the page in the whole rectangle paper is printed. The identifier includes, for example, a combination of alphabets, numerals, and colors. In another embodiment, the identifier is an icon printed at a corner of each page. The icon has a high density portion, and the position of the page with respect to the whole rectangle paper is expressed as the position of the high density portion with respect to the whole icon.
