Abstract

A printable substrate for forming a borderless board print product including an image thereon is provided. The printable substrate comprises a printable board and a border. The printable board includes a front surface for including the image thereon, wherein the front surface is defined by at least one side edge. The border is removably coupled to the at least one side edge of the front surface of the printable board. The border is removably coupled to the printable board using perforations.

Claims (40)

1 . A printable substrate for forming a borderless board print product including an image thereon, the printable substrate comprising:

i) a printable board including a front surface for including the image thereon, wherein the printable board is defined by:

a first side edge;

a second side edge opposite of the first side edge;

a third side edge including a first end and a second end, wherein the first side edge intersects the first end of the third side edge at a first point, and wherein the second side edge intersects the second end of the third side edge at a second point; and

a fourth side edge opposite of the third side edge, wherein the fourth side edge includes a first end and a second end, wherein the first side edge intersects the first end of the fourth side edge at a third point, and wherein the second side edge intersects the second end of the fourth side edge at a fourth point; and

ii) a border including an outer peripheral edge, wherein the border is removably coupled to the first side edge, the second side edge, the third side edge, and the fourth side edge of the printable board using perforations,

iii) a first extended perforation portion extending a first distance from the first point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border, without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border;

iv) a second extended perforation portion extending a second distance from the second point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border;

v) a third extended perforation portion extending a third distance from the third point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border, without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border; and

vi) a fourth extended perforation portion extending a fourth distance from the fourth point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border, without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border.

2 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first distance and the second distance are equal, and wherein the third distance and the fourth distance are equal.

3 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the border has a width of about an inch, and

wherein at least one of the first distance, and the second distance, the third distance, and the fourth distance is about a quarter of an inch.

4 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the border has a width of about an inch, and

wherein at least one of the first distance, and the second distance, the third distance, and the fourth distance is about half an inch.

5 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 further comprising:

vii) a fifth extended perforation portion extending a fifth distance from the first point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border, without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border, wherein the fifth extended perforation portion is perpendicular to the first extended perforation portion;

viii) a sixth extended perforation portion extending a sixth distance from the second point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border, without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border, wherein the sixth extended perforation portion is perpendicular to the second extended perforation portion;

ix) a seventh extended perforation portion extending a seventh distance from the third point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border, without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border, wherein the seventh extended perforation portion is perpendicular to the third extended perforation portion; and

x) an eight extended perforation portion extending an eighth distance from the fourth point, into the border, toward the outer peripheral edge of the border, without reaching the outer peripheral edge of the border, wherein the eight extended perforation portion is perpendicular to the fourth extended perforation portion.

6 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 5 , wherein the fifth distance and seventh distance are equal, and wherein the sixth distance and the eight distance are equal.

7 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the fifth distance is equal to the first distance, wherein the sixth distance is equal to the second distance, wherein the seventh distance is equal to the third distance, and wherein the eight distance is equal to the fourth distance.

8 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the printable board has a rectangular shape defined by the first side edge, the second side edge, the third side edge, and the fourth side edge.

9 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the printable substrate has a thickness of about 1.3 mm to about 1.4 mm.

10 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the border has a width of about an inch.

11 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the image is disposed on the printable board and the border.

12 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first side edge is disposed at a perpendicular angle relative to the third side edge and the fourth side edge.

13 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 12 , wherein the second side edge is disposed at a perpendicular angle relative to the third side edge and the fourth side edge.

14 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first extended perforation portion and the second extended perforated portion are colinear with the third side edge.

15 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the third extended perforation portion and the fourth extended perforated portion are colinear with the fourth side edge.

16 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 5 ,

wherein the first extended perforation portion and the second extended perforated portion are colinear with the third side edge,

wherein the third extended perforation portion and the fourth extended perforated portion are colinear with the fourth side edge,

wherein the fifth extended perforation portion and the seventh extended perforated portion are colinear with the first side edge, and

wherein the sixth extended perforation portion and the eighth extended perforated portion are colinear with the second side edge.

17 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 16 , wherein the first side edge is disposed at a perpendicular angle relative to the third side edge and the fourth side edge.

18 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 17 , wherein the second side edge is disposed at a perpendicular angle relative to the third side edge and the fourth side edge.

19 . The printable substrate in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the printable substrate has a thickness of about 1 mm to about 2 mm.

20 . The printable substrate of claim 1 wherein the first extended perforation portion, the second extended perforation portion, the third extended perforation portion, and the fourth extended perforation portion do not extend within the printable board defined by the first side edge, the second side edge, the third side edge, and the fourth side edge.
