Abstract

A plurality of workpiece layers of material are disclosed. The plurality of workpiece layers of material include a dual-sided adhesive layer assembly having a first side surface and a second side surface opposite the first side surface. The plurality of workpiece layers of material also include a first substrate layer non-removably-connected to the dual-sided adhesive layer assembly.

Claims (15)

1. A plurality of workpiece layers of material for a greeting card comprising:

a dual-sided adhesive layer assembly comprising:

a carrier layer having a first side surface and a second side surface;

a first adhesive layer on the first side surface of the carrier layer;

a second adhesive layer on the second side surface of the carrier layer; and

a removable liner portion that is configured for removal from the second adhesive laver;

a first substrate layer comprising:

a front cover panel having a front outer surface and a front inner surface opposite the front outer surface, the dual-sided adhesive layer assembly permanently attached to the front inner surface of the front cover panel via the first adhesive layer, wherein the front cover panel includes a respective length and a respective width to define a respective surface area of the front cover panel; and

a rear cover panel having a rear outer surface and a rear inner surface opposite the rear outer surface, wherein the front cover panel extends from the rear cover panel via a living hinge such that the front cover panel can be folded upon the rear cover panel with the front inner surface facing and extending substantially parallel to the rear inner surface; and

a trim substrate workpiece comprising:

a second substrate layer having an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface, the outer surface of the second substrate layer configured to attach to the second adhesive layer of the dual-sided adhesive layer to form a multi-substrate workpiece assembly after removal of the removable liner portion; and

a second substrate layer design portion impregnated within at least a portion of a thickness of the second substrate layer of the trim substrate workpiece,

wherein the second substrate layer includes a respective length and a respective width to define a respective surface area of the second substrate layer that is substantially equal to the respective surface area of the front cover panel.

2. The plurality of workpiece layers of material according to claim 1 , wherein the trim substrate workpiece comprises a material such that a cutting tool, when imparted by a cutting force, is configured to penetrate and/or cut through a combined thickness of the front cover panel and the dual-sided adhesive layer assembly but said cutting tool, when imparted by the cutting force, is unable to penetrate and/or cut through the trim substrate workpiece.

3. The plurality of workpiece layers of material according to claim 1 , wherein the second substrate layer is transparent such that the second substrate layer design portion is visible through the second substrate layer.
