Systems and processes for producing promotional products with variable data printing having an informational panel, enveloping carrier panel, and unique i.d., transactionable gift card attached thereto

A system for manufacturing a promotional product comprising an informational panel, enveloping carrier panel, and at least one card attached thereto, the system comprising:

• means for providing a blank having images, text, VDP unique I.D. dynamic Quick Response (QR) or UPC type codes, NFC devices, RFID devices, magnetic strips or alphanumeric codes printed or applied thereon, the blank comprising more than one panel including at least a first card panel, at least a first enveloping carrier panel, and at least a first informational panel, adjacent panels being contiguous with fold lines therebetween;
• means for cutting the first card panel to at least partially define a first partial cutout card therein such that the first partial cutout card remains partially attached to the first card panel and a first remaining portion of the first card panel surrounds the first partial cutout card;
• means for folding the first card panel over and onto the first enveloping carrier panel such that the first partial cutout card is secured to the first enveloping carrier panel with an adhesive;
• means for removing the first remaining portion of the first card panel so that the first remaining portion is separated from the first partial cutout card, the first partial cutout card remains secured to the first carrier panel and defines at least a portion of the card of the product, and the first enveloping carrier panel defines at least a portion of the carrier of the product;
• means for scoring the enveloping carrier panel such that fold lines are defined on the enveloping carrier panel which further define enveloping panels on the enveloping carrier panel that, when the enveloping carrier panel is detached from adjacent panels, fold onto each other thereby enclosing a space in between;
• and
• means for slitting the enveloping panels of the enveloping carrier panel such that the edges or corners of the enveloping panels align with the slots provided in adjacent pairs of the enveloping panels and fitted through said slots, thereby securing the adjacent pairs of the enveloping panels to each other.
