Abstract
A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with defined separation lines, a first layer with cuts running through the first layer along the defined separation lines, and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, with perforations running through the second layer along the defined separation lines. A method for creating custom print cards includes running a printable blank sheet through a printer to print on defined print areas, wherein the sheet includes slit-over-perforation lines defining a periphery of an object in the sheet, bending the sheet along the slit-over-perforation lines to weaken and separate the slit-over-perforation lines, and detaching the object from the sheet.

A printable blank sheet comprising:
- a sheet with defined separation lines;
- a first layer with cuts running through the first layer along the defined separation lines;
- and
- a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer, with perforations running through the second layer along the defined separation lines.
A printable blank sheet comprising:
- a sheet with a first layer attached to a top side of a laminate layer, and a coating layer attached to a bottom side of the laminate layer;
- and
- slit-over-perforation lines defining the peripheries of objects in the sheet, wherein the slit-over-perforation lines comprise:
- cut lines running through the first layer along the slit-over-perforation lines;
- perforations running through the laminate layer along the slit-over-perforation lines;
- and
- perforations running through the coating layer along the slit-over-perforation lines;
- wherein a top side of the first layer can be printed on and a bottom side of the coating can be printed on.
