Said first sheet (1) has at least one opening or portion of transparent material (100) having predetermined dimensions, and said article (C) is configured in such a way that, when in use, said second sheet (2) is parallel or substantially parallel to said first sheet (1) and is aligned to said first sheet (1) along an axis (A), said axis (A) being perpendicular to said first sheet (1) and to said second sheet (2), said first surface (2A) of said second sheet (2) is at a predetermined first distance from the second surface (1B) of said first sheet (1), said at least one opening or portion of transparent material (100) is arranged with respect to the first surface (2A) of said second sheet (2) in such a way that said second portion (12B) of said second part (12) is visible from the outside and the projection along said axis (A) of said first part (11) of said predetermined image shown on the first surface (1A) of said first sheet (1) falls on the first surface (2A) of said second sheet (2) substantially in correspondence of said first portion (12A) of said second part (12). The present invention relates also to a method for producing said article.

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.

There is provided a sheet-like article with a string enabling use in two use forms (a first use form and a second use form). A sheet-like article 1 with a string has a first use form and a second use form. The sheet-like article 1 with a string includes a sheet-like main body 2, and a string body 4 inserted into holes 3 of the main body 2. In the sheet-like article 1 with a string, change from the first use form to the second use form is possible by pulling of the string body 4.

The invention concerns a process and a system for the digital printing of printed publications, for the flexible production, on demand, of a single publication or small series of publications. The process of the invention is an automated process for the manufacture of at least one publication printed from at least one sheet, comprising the steps wherein: a plurality of pages (1, 4, 5, 8) of the publication is printed (A) on the sheet (10) that is moved through a series of stations wherein, subsequently, the sheet (10) is folded (C) in half perpendicular to the direction of travel; the folded sheet (10) is pivoted (D) by 90 with respect to the direction of travel, and the edges (18, 19) of the folded sheet are trimmed to obtain separate, superposed leaves (16, 17).

A printable sheet assembly and method provide for feeding cardstock sheets through a printer. The printable sheet assembly may include a focal line formed in a body of the sheet. An adhesive adheres a spring strip to the body. The spring strip overlays the focal line. The spring strip is a rigid material that acts as a spring for the focal line

A medicine information insert comprises a plurality of sheets made preferably of paper, each of which has at least one graphical representation relating to a medicine; the sheets are fixed together at a respective joining zone and before being inserted into the cartons containing the medicines are folded by multiple parallel folding, with the possibility of combining this with further crosswise (transversal) folding.

A holder is presented for collecting, organizing, and mounting pages of sheet music. The holder includes an elongated sheet made of sturdy and heavy weight paper material divided into a predetermined number of sections by traverse perforation lines. Coupling members are disposed on at least one of the sections such that the pages of sheet music may be mounted over the elongated sheet using the coupling member. The holder may act as a stand for sheet music.

A printable sheet assembly and method provide for feeding cardstock sheets through a printer. The printable sheet assembly may include a first fold region. The first fold region comprises a robust perforated line disposed horizontally across the sheet assembly. The printable sheet assembly may include a second fold region. The second fold region may comprise a second robust perforated line disposed horizontally across the sheet assembly. The sheet assembly may include a product such as a name tag, business card, label, or card formed into the sheet assembly and configured to be processed through a printer device to receive indicia thereon.

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 printable sheet material includes a panel having an integral separable portion and a starting mechanism formed on the separable portion. At least two tearable lines are formed in the panel permitting the separable portion to be at least partially separated from a remaining portion of the panel by tearing in either of opposite directions. Each tearable line includes a plurality of open V channeling cuts spaced along the line, each of the channeling cuts formed by a pair of converging cuts having a wider spaced end and a narrower spaced end. The channeling cuts are oriented with the wider spaced ends facing toward the starting mechanism and the narrower spaced ends pointed in a tearing direction extending away from the starting mechanism. The channeling cuts of the two lines share one of the converging cuts.
