For use in association with a microcomputer printer, a ready-made reusable carrier for work to be printed, comprising:

• a web so dimensioned as to be adapted for insertion into and movement through a microcomputer printer, said web having a plurality of panels connected in edge-to-edge and defined by fold lines extending transversely across said web and work securing means associated with said panels whereby work to be printed can manually be temporarily coupled to said panels before insertion of said web into the printer and removed from said web without destruction of said web after printing, said work securing means comprising a plurality of ready-made openings in said panels, said openings being positioned and arranged on said panels in correspondence with the dimensions of the work with which the carrier is intended to be used and so disposed on said panels as to be adapted to receive and retain respective corners of the work;
• said work securing means further comprising edge-constraining members cut from said web, said edge-constraining members comprising flap members elongated in the direction of said web and having distal portions thereof projecting tranaversely inwardly with respect to the lateral edges of said web and adapted to engage and overlie lateral edges of the work, said flap members being defined by perforations of said web which comprise a first segment extending in a direction downstream with respect to said web and angled obliquely inwardly with respect to the lateral edge of said web, a aecond segment extending in a direction upstream with respect to said web and angled obliquely inwardly with respect to the lateral edge of said web, and a transitional segment elongated in the direction of said web and interconnecting said first and said second segment, said transitional segment extending obliquely inwardly respect to the lateral edge of said web in direction downstream with respect to said web.
