Abstract
A method of manufacturing a compact disc product having a compact disc and a package which encloses the compact disc which includes the steps of providing a first web of material and a second web of material, positioning a compact disc at a predetermined point relative to one of the webs of material, bonding the webs of material together in a predetermined positional relationship with the compact disc disposed between the webs of material to form a product web, and cutting the product web at a first point adjacent a first side of the compact disc and at a second point adjacent a second side of the compact disc to form the compact disc product.
Claims16
A method of manufacturing a data disk product having a data disk with a diameter and a package which encloses said data disk, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a main web of material having a length;
- (b) printing a pattern of repeating images on said main web of material;
- (c) slitting said main web of material in a longitudinal direction parallel to said length of said main web to provide a first web of material and a second web of material having a length;
- (d) applying an adhesive to said first web of material;
- (e) forming a pattern of repeating die cuts in said second web of material, each of said die cuts resulting in the formation of an opening in said second web of material;
- (f) folding said second web of material in a longitudinal direction parallel to said length of said second web of material to form a folded web, said folded web having a first web portion in which said openings are formed and a second web portion folded over said first web portion at a fold in said longitudinal direction, each of said first and second web portions having a width in a direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, each of said widths being at least as great as the diameter of said data disk;
- (g) after said step (f), automatically enclosing a data disk between a portion of said folded web and a corresponding portion of said first web and bonding said folded web and said first web to form a product web so that a portion of said data disk is disposed adjacent one of said openings in said first web portion of said folded web;
- and
- (h) cutting said product web at a first point adjacent a first side of said data disk and at a second point adjacent a second side of said data disk to form said data disk product.
A method of manufacturing a data disk product having a data disk and a package which encloses said data disk, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a first web of material having a length and a second web of material having a length;
- (b) applying an adhesive to one of said webs of material;
- (c) folding said second web of material in a longitudinal direction parallel to said length of said second web of material to form a folded web of material having a first web portion and a second web portion folded over said first web portion at a fold in said longitudinal direction;
- (d) after said step (c), automatically enclosing a data disk between said folded web of material and said first web of material and bonding said folded web and said first web to form a product web;
- and
- (e) cutting said product web at a first point adjacent a first side of said data disk and at a second point adjacent a second side of said data disk to form said data disk product.
A method of manufacturing a data disk product having a data disk and a package which encloses said data disk, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a first web of material having a length and a second web of material having a length;
- (b) forming a pattern of repeating die cuts in said second web of material, each of said die cuts resulting in the formation of an opening in said second web of material;
- (c) automatically enclosing a data disk between a portion of said second web and a corresponding portion of said first web to form a product web so that a portion of said data disk is disposed adjacent one of said openings in said second web;
- (d) bonding said webs of material together in a predetermined positional relationship with said data disk disposed between said webs of material to form a product web;
- and
- (e) cutting said product web at a first point adjacent a first side of said data disk and at a second point adjacent a second side of said data disk to form said data disk product.
