Abstract
A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a top substrate and a bottom layer, a dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer, cut lines in the sheet that extend through the top substrate and the dry lift adhesive but not through the bottom layer, and an object with an intricate shape cut into the top substrate with a periphery of the object defined by the cut lines. The object can be removed from the sheet by separating the object and the bottom layer along the dry lift adhesive.
Claims20
A printable blank sheet comprising:
- a sheet that comprises:
- a top substrate that includes an object with an intricate shape and an excess sheet area;
- a bottom layer;
- and
- a dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer;
- and
- cut lines in the sheet that extend through the top substrate and the dry lift adhesive but not through the bottom layer, wherein the cut lines define the object and the excess sheet area in the top substrate;
- wherein the object is removable from the sheet by separating the object and the bottom layer along the dry lift adhesive;
- and
- wherein the object and the bottom layer have dry surfaces when they are separated along the dry lift adhesive.
A printable blank sheet comprising:
- a sheet with a top substrate and a bottom layer;
- a dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer;
- cut lines in the sheet that extend through the top substrate and the dry lift adhesive but not through the bottom layer;
- an object with an intricate shape cut into the top substrate with an entire periphery of the object defined by the cut lines;
- and
- an excess sheet area of the top substrate that surrounds the object and is defined by the cut lines;
- wherein the object is removable from the sheet by separating the object and the bottom layer along the dry lift adhesive.
A printable blank sheet comprising:
- a sheet that comprises:
- a sheet layer;
- a first film layer;
- a pressure sensitive adhesive that attaches a bottom face of the sheet layer to a top face of the first film layer;
- a second film layer;
- and
- a dry lift adhesive that attaches a bottom face of the first film layer to a top face of the second film layer;
- and
- cut lines extending through the sheet layer, the pressure sensitive adhesive, the first film layer, and the dry lift adhesive but not through the second film layer;
- and
- an object with an intricate shape formed of the sheet layer, the pressure sensitive adhesive, and the first film layer, wherein a periphery of the object in the sheet is defined by the cut lines;
- wherein the object is removable from the sheet by separating the object from the second film layer along the dry lift adhesive.
