Abstract
A method is disclosed for producing a perforated multiweb folded display product or insert having a width greater than the width of any single web forming a part thereof. The perforated multiweb product is also claimed. Gutterless joints are used to allow the display to lay flat when opened. Perforations allow the insert to be removably bound within a book or magazine. In some embodiments, displays having widths exceeding commercially available web widths are disclosed. In other embodiments, two or more webs are combined to yield web printed single or double magazine inserts or displays having an active viewing width in excess of 70 inches.

A method for producing a perforated multiweb folded product having an unfolded width greater than the width of any single web forming a part thereof comprising the steps of:
- conveying a first printed web printed by a printing press along a first path of travel;
- simultaneously conveying a second printed web along a second path of travel;
- continuously perforating at least one of said webs;
- longitudinally folding the first web to form a first longitudinal web attaching panel and a first web viewing panel;
- bringing said first and second webs into vertical registry;
- and thereafter
- longitudinally joining said second web to said attaching panel after said folding step to form a longitudinal gutterless joint between the webs.
A method for producing a perforated multiweb folded product having an unfolded width greater than the width of any single web forming a part thereof comprising the steps of:
- web printing a first web by a web printing press;
- web printing a second web;
- conveying the first printed web along a first path of travel;
- simultaneously conveying the second web along a second path of travel;
- longitudinally folding the first web to form a plurality of first web viewing panels;
- longitudinally folding the first web to form a first longitudinal web attaching panel;
- applying an adhesive to a portion of said attaching panel;
- bringing said first and second webs into vertical registry;
- longitudinally abutting said second web to said attaching panel to adhesively form a longitudinal gutterless joint between the webs;
- longitudinally folding the second web to form a plurality of second web viewing panels;
- and
- longitudinally perforating one of said webs parallel to its longitudinal folds.
A method for producing a roll folded perforated multiweb product having an unfolded width greater than the width of any single web forming a part thereof comprising the steps of:
- conveying a first printed web printed by a printing press along a first path of travel;
- simultaneously conveying a second printed web parallel to the first web;
- continuously perforating at least one of said webs;
- roll folding the first web to form a plurality of generally parallel first web viewing panels;
- roll folding the first web to form a first longitudinal web attaching panel;
- applying an adhesive to a portion of said attaching panel;
- thereafter
- abutting said second web to said attaching panel to adhesively form a longitudinal gutterless joint between the webs;
- and
- roll folding the second web to form a plurality of second web viewing, panels.
A method for producing a removable folded insert for binding into a magazine or book having an unfolded width greater than the width of any single web forming a part thereof comprising the steps of:
- longitudinally folding a first web printed by a web printing press to form a first display having a plurality of first web viewing panels;
- longitudinally folding a second web to form a second display having a plurality of second web viewing panels, an attaching panel and a binding panel;
- applying an adhesive to a portion of said attaching panel;
- thereafter abutting said first web to said attaching panel to form a gutterless joint between the webs;
- longitudinally folding said binding panel to define first and second binding panel members so that said first folded web generally overlaps said second folded web;
- and
- cutting said joined webs to form a removable magazine insert of a desired length.
