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 and an excess sheet area;
- a bottom film layer;
- and
- a patterned dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer, wherein the patterned dry lift adhesive includes repeating shapes of dry lift adhesive that are separated by areas of open space, and wherein the patterned dry lift adhesive extends along an entirety of a top face of the bottom film layer and a bottom face of the top substrate;
- 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;
- wherein the object and the bottom layer have dry surfaces when they are separated along the dry lift adhesive;
- and
- wherein the object and the excess sheet area are configured to be pulled away from the bottom film layer in the areas of open space in the patterned dry lift adhesive.

A printable blank sheet comprising:
- a sheet that comprises:
- a top substrate that includes an object and an excess sheet area;
- a bottom film layer made of a material selected from the group consisting of biaxially oriented polypropolyene, polyethelyene, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, and combinations thereof;
- and
- a patterned dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer, wherein the patterned dry lift adhesive includes repeating shapes of dry lift adhesive that are separated by areas of open space, and wherein the patterned dry lift adhesive extends along an entirety of a top face of the bottom film layer and a bottom face of the top substrate;
- 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;
- wherein the object and the bottom layer have dry surfaces when they are separated along the dry lift adhesive;
- and
- wherein the object and the excess sheet area are configured to be pulled away from the bottom film layer in the areas of open space in the patterned dry lift adhesive.

A printable blank sheet comprising:
- a sheet that comprises:
- a top substrate that includes an object and an excess sheet area;
- a bottom film layer that has a thickness between 0.0005 inches (0.0127 millimeters) and 0.004 inches (0.1016 millimeters);
- and
- a patterned dry lift adhesive connecting the top substrate to the bottom layer, wherein the patterned dry lift adhesive includes repeating shapes of dry lift adhesive that are separated by areas of open space, and wherein the patterned dry lift adhesive extends along an entirety of a top face of the bottom film layer and a bottom face of the top substrate;
- 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;
- wherein the object and the bottom layer have dry surfaces when they are separated along the dry lift adhesive;
- and
- wherein the object and the excess sheet area are configured to be pulled away from the bottom film layer in the areas of open space in the patterned dry lift adhesive.
