摘要 |
The present invention relates to a composite intermediate web assembly that is produced by using a substrate having plastic or synthetic properties and includes the application of a number of individual segments that are placed on the surface of the web in for example, an edge-to-edge configuration. A series of preprinted, discrete sheet segments are individually and sequentially placed and then laminated to the web by the use of a pattern of adhesive. A placer mechanism positions each of the segments on the web in a pre-determined pattern. Each of the segments is preprinted with high quality imaging prior to application of the segments to the web of material. The segments remain free of attachment to one another after application to the web. The resulting intermediate assembly can be further processed such as by die cutting to produce individual promotional or communication items including cards, signs, plates and placards.
