Abstract
A file folder has a pocket disposed on one of its surfaces. The edges of the pocket and the file folder are in sheared alignment with each other. A method for manufacturing a file folder having a pocket is disclosed. Adhesive is deposited along several edges of a first web of material which is pressed to a second web of material to join the webs together by the adhesive. The combined materials are cut along one of the edges of adhesive to form a sheet having a pocket. The first and second webs have side edges which are in sheared alignment.
Claims18
A method for manufacturing a file folder having a pocket, which comprises:
- depositing an adhesive on a first edge of a first web of flexible material;
- depositing an adhesive on a second edge of said first web at an angle relative to said first edge;
- pressing said first web against a second web of flexible material by feeding the first and second webs together at a work station to join the first web to the second web at the first and second edges by the adhesive;
- and
- cutting said first and second webs through one of the edges to form a sheet having a pocket disposed thereon wherein at least one edge of the sheet and pocket are in sheared alignment.
A method for manufacturing a file folder having an open pocket which comprises:
- depositing an adhesive on a first edge of a first web of flexible material;
- depositing an adhesive on a second edge of said first web at an angle relative to said first edge;
- pressing said first web against a second web of flexible material to join the first web to the second web at the first and second edges by the adhesive;
- and
- cutting the second edge of adhesive substantially in half to sever said first and second webs to form two joined edges associated with two separate pocket edges on two separate sheets.
