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