Abstract
A printable media including a carrier layer, a first envelope and a first adhesive. The carrier layer includes a first surface having a first area and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first envelope includes a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface, and a second area less than the first area. The first envelope is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding the fourth surface to the first surface.
Claims27
A printable media comprising:
- a carrier layer comprising a first surface comprising a first area and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- a first envelope comprising a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface, and a second area less than the first area;
- and,
- a first adhesive,
- wherein the first envelope is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding the fourth surface to the first surface.
A printable media comprising:
- a carrier layer comprising a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first slot;
- and,
- a first envelope comprising a first closure and a first area,
- wherein the first envelope is secured to the carrier layer by passing the first closure through the first slot such that the first closure is adjacent the second surface, and the first area is less than a total area of the first surface.
A printable media comprising:
- a carrier layer comprising a first surface comprising a first area, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first rigidity;
- a first adhesive deposited on the first area;
- and,
- a liner layer comprising a first score line arranged to separate the liner layer into a first portion and a second portion, the liner layer is releasably secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive,
- wherein a malleable material comprising a third surface, a fourth surface opposite the third surface, and a second rigidity less than the first rigidity is secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding the fourth surface to the first surface after removal of at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the liner layer.
A method of printing a full bleed envelope comprising:
- releasably securing a first envelope to a carrier layer with a first adhesive, the carrier layer comprising a first surface comprising a first area and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first envelope comprising a third surface comprising a first edge, a fourth surface opposite the third surface, and a second area less than the first area, wherein the first envelope is releasably secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding the fourth surface to the first surface;
- applying a first dry marking material immediately adjacent to the first edge of the third surface of the first envelope;
- and,
- fusing the first dry marking material to the first envelope with a fuser.
A method of printing a full bleed envelope comprising:
- releasably securing a first envelope to a carrier layer with a first adhesive, the carrier layer comprising a first surface comprising a first area and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first envelope comprising a third surface comprising a first edge, a fourth surface opposite the third surface, and a second area less than the first area, wherein the first envelope is releasably secured to the carrier layer by the first adhesive bonding the fourth surface to the first surface;
- applying a first liquid marking material immediately adjacent to the first edge of the third surface of the first envelope;
- and,
- drying the first liquid marking material to the first envelope with a dryer.
