Claims16
A method of making a printable sheet assembly, the method comprising:
- providing cardstock material having a first edge and an opposite second edge wherein said first edge and second edge comprise horizontal edges of the cardstock material;
- identifying a first fold region positioned horizontally along the cardstock material;
- and
- forming at least one robust perforated line generally horizontally spanning the cardstock material, wherein the at least one robust perforated line is disposed within said first fold region and comprises a tensile strength measured to be within a lower boundary and an upper boundary;
- and
- forming at least one alternate perforated line generally horizontally spanning the cardstock material, wherein the at least one alternate perforated line is disposed outside of the first fold region and comprises a tensile strength that is less than the tensile strength of the at least one robust perforated line;
- wherein said cardstock material is configured to be processed by a printer device to receive printed indicia thereon and the at least one robust perforation line formed within said first fold region assists to prevent printing errors due to off registration when the printable sheet assembly is processed through said printer device.
