Method for manufacturing image display

摘要

An image display including an image substrate and a support structure. The image substrate has an image printed on a first surface. The support structure can include a front sheet and a plurality of side strips extending from the front sheet. The image substrate can be adhered to an external surface of the front sheet so that the front sheet forms a rigid backing for the image substrate. A variety of image substrates are provided.

主权项

1. A method for manufacturing an image display, comprising providing a sheet of fiberboard with a front surface and an opposite rear surface, the sheet of fiberboard having a central sheet and a plurality of side strips extending alongside the central sheet and a plurality of back strips extending alongside the plurality of side strips, providing a first groove in the rear surface of the sheet of fiberboard between the central sheet and each side strip to facilitate bending of the side strips relative to the central sheet, providing a second groove in the sheet of fiberboard between each side strip and respective back strip to facilitate bending of the back strips relative to the side strips, providing an image substrate having opposite first and second surfaces, digitally printing an image on the first surface of the image substrate, positioning the second surface of the image substrate over the front surface of at least the central sheet and the plurality of side strips of the sheet of fiberboard, folding the plurality of side strips at the first groove relative to the central sheet so that the side strips extend rearwardly of the central sheet, folding the plurality of back strips at the second groove relative to the plurality of side strips so that the back strips extend rearwardly of the side strips and securing the plurality of back strips together to form the image display in which the digitally printed image appears to be mounted on a wooden stretcher bar frame.
