Method of forming a sheet of printable media

A sheet of printable media, comprising:

• a facestock sheet having a front side, a back side, a pair of side edges and first and second end edges;
• cut lines through said facestock sheet and defining printable media, said cut lines including a first end cut line proximate to and parallel to said first edge, a second end cut line proximate to and parallel to said second edge, and central cut lines disposed between and parallel to said first and second end cut lines;
• and
• a plurality of liner strips releasably attached to said back side, said liner strips including a first end liner strip;
• said first end liner strip covering said first end cut line, extending to both of said first and second side edges and extending to and along said first edge;
• said first end liner strip including a first flexibility cut line extending a full length of said first end liner strip;
• and
• said first flexibility cut line being disposed between said first edge and said first cut line and dividing said first end liner strip into two parts.

A sheet of printable media, comprising:

• a facestock sheet having a front side, a back side, a pair of side edges, and a pair of end edges;
• cut lines through said facestock sheet;
• said cut lines including frame cut lines and grid cut lines;
• said frame cut lines including a pair of side cut lines spaced in from respective said side edges and parallel thereto and a pair of end cut lines spaced in from respective said end edges, both of said end cut lines engaging both of said side cut lines, and none of said side and end cut lines engaging any of said sheet edges;
• said frame cut lines separating said facesheet stock into a central area and a frame encircling said central area;
• said grid cut lines defining a grid disposed in said central area;
• said grid cuI lines and said frame cut lines separating said central area into a plurality of rectangular printable cards;
• and
• a plurality of liner strips releasably secured to said back side parallel to one another;
• said liner strips including first strips and second strips;
• said first strips including end first strips and central first strips;
• said end first strips covering both of said end cut lines;
• said central first strips covering all of respective said cut lines of said grid cut lines parallel to said end cut lines;
• said second strips being positioned between and parallel to said first strips;
• and
• each of said second strips at both ends thereof extending beyond said side cut lines.

A sheet of printable media, comprising:

• a dry laminate facestock including (1) a facestock sheet having first and second sides, (2) an adhesive layer on said second side, and (3) a film layer on said adhesive layer;
• facestock cut lines on said first side, through said laminate facestock and defining at least in part perimeter edges of printable media;
• and
• liner strips adhered to a back side of said film layer, and engaging at least in part said facestock cut lines to thereby hold the printable media together as said laminate facestock is fed into and passed through a printer or copier and a printing operation is performed on the printable media to form printed media.

A multi-layer sheet construction, comprising:

• a face sheet;
• and
• a backing sheet adhered to said face sheet to form a multi-layer sheet having a first edge and an opposite second edge;
• said backing sheet extending out a distance past said face sheet along said first edge whereby said first edge defines an infeed edge for feeding said multi-layer sheet construction into a horizontal feed printer;
• and
• said multi-layer sheet is calendered along said second edge whereby said second edge defines an infeed edge for feeding said multi-layer sheet construction into a vertical feed printer.

A method of forming printable media, comprising the steps of:

• providing a laminate sheet construction comprising (1) a film-coated liner sheet having a film layer on a liner sheet and (2) a facestock sheet adhered with an adhesive layer to the film layer of the film-coated liner sheet;
• the facestock sheet, the film layer and the adhesive layer together forming a laminate facestock;
• cutting through the laminate facestock to the liner sheet to form facestock cut lines defining at least in part perimeters of printable media;
• and
• cutting through an outer face of the liner sheet to form liner-sheet cut lines defining a plurality of liner sheet strips on a back side of the laminate facestock.

A method of forming sheets of printable media, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a roll of a web of dry laminate sheet construction comprising a liner sheet on a facestock sheet;
• (b) unwinding the web from the roll;
• (c) calendering an edge of the unwound web;
• (d) die cutting the facestock sheet of the unwound web without cutting the liner sheet to form outline perimeters of printable media;
• (e) die cutting the liner sheet of the unwound web without cutting the facestock sheet to form liner strips;
• (f) after step (e), removing at least some but not all of the liner strips from the web;
• and
• (g) after steps (c), (d), (e) and (f), sheeting the web into sheets.

A method of forming a printable media sheet construction, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a sheet construction including a liner sheet and a facestock sheet;
• (b) cutting the facestock sheet without cutting the liner sheet to form printable media;
• (c) cutting the liner sheet without cutting the facestock sheet to form a plurality of spaced liner strips on the facestock sheet and a web of interconnected liner waste strips between the spaced liner strips;
• and
• (d) after step (c), removing the web as a single unit from off of the facestock sheet.

A method of forming a printable media sheet construction, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing a multi-layer sheet including a face sheet and a backing sheet adhered to the face sheet, the multi-layer sheet having a first edge and an opposite second edge;
• (b) removing an end strip of the face sheet to expose an end strip of the backing sheet along the first edge, the exposed end strip defining a first infeed end of the multi-layer sheet for feeding the multi-layer sheet into a vertical feed printer;
• and
• (c) calendering the opposite second edge to define a second infeed end of the multi-layer sheet for feeding the multi-layer sheet into a horizontal feed printer.
