A business form product ( 10 ) broadly including a printable sheet ( 12 ), a magnetic sheet ( 14 ) aligned edge-to-edge with the printable sheet ( 12 ) to define a seam ( 16 ), and a heat-resistant tape ( 18 ) applied over the seam ( 16 ) to retain the sheets ( 12,14 ) in the edge-to-edge relationship is disclosed. The inventive business form product ( 10, 106 ) is formed by joining multiple continuous webs ( 38, 58 ) edge-to-edge and marrying the webs ( 38,58 ) with a continuous streamer of tape ( 86 ) in a press ( 36 ). A preferred embodiment of the inventive method of forming the continuous sheet ( 106 ) is disclosed wherein at least one rotatable mechanical web guide ( 72 ) is used to align the webs ( 38,58 ) in the edge-to-edge relationship, thereby enabling precise alignment not available with existing optic-type web guides. A preferred embodiment of the printable business form product ( 10 ) is disclosed wherein heat-resistant tape ( 18 ) enables the business form product ( 10 ) to be printed in high-heat printing applications (e.g., printed in an offline laser printer) without fracturing the taped seam ( 16 ).
