Abstract
A method of converting, on an in-line printing press, two webs of material into a roll including a web and a plurality of peelable lids thereon. Alternatively, a plurality of underlying lids can be formed from the other web of the roll, in registration with the peelable lids, where these lids are created by die cutting the two webs while bonded. Also, one of the lids has dispensing holes and the other lid is printed with selected indicia and/or logos.
Claims10
A method of producing rolls of multi-layered webs, said method comprising the steps of providing at least two individual webs of selected materials to a printing press;
- die cutting a plurality of groups of holes in a predetermined pattern in one of the webs;
- printing predetermined indicia on at least one face of the other web;
- printing an adhesive on one of the webs;
- bonding the webs together with the adhesive, the indicia, and the plurality of groups of holes in registration with one another;
- die cutting said other web after bonding to form spaced-apart peelable lid shapes only in said other web both laterally across and longitudinally along said other web;
- and then forming the webs which have been bonded together and then die cut into a roll.
A method of producing dual-layered rolls of webs, said method comprising the following steps:
- a. providing a first web from a first roll of selected roll stock;
- b. feeding the first web to a first die cut station, and die cutting sets of holes along the longitudinal extent of the first web;
- c. providing a second web from a second roll of selected roll stock;
- d. feeding the second web to a printing station of a printing press, and printing indicia on the second web at selected locations along the longitudinal extent of the second web;
- e. applying patterns of adhesive on one of said first and second webs along the longitudinal extent in registration with one of said sets of holes and said indicia;
- f. feeding the first web to a bonding station;
- g. feeding the second web to the bonding station to cover the first web and bonding the webs together with said sets of holes in registration with said indicia;
- h. feeding the bonded-together webs to a second die cut station;
- i. die cutting at the second die cut station predetermined shapes through the second web only around each location of the printed indicia to form peelable lids;
- j. removing the portion of the second web from around the peelable lids;
- and
- k. rolling the webs formed after step j into a roll.
A method of producing rolls of multiple-layered webs, said method comprising the steps of providing at least two individual webs of selected materials to a printing press;
- performing predetermined operational steps on the webs including printing predetermined indicia on at least one face of at least one of the webs, printing a peelable adhesive on one of the webs;
- peelably bonding the webs together with the adhesive and the indicia in registration with one another;
- die cutting one of said webs after bonding to form spaced-apart peelable lid shapes only in said die cut web both laterally across and longitudinally along said die cut web;
- and then forming the webs which have been bonded together and then die cut into a roll.
