Assembly for creating custom objects with adhesive from printable blank sheets

Abstract

A printable blank sheet includes a sheet layer, a dry lift strip extending along a bottom of the sheet layer, an adhesive strip extending along the bottom of the sheet layer adjacent the dry lift strip, and cut lines in the printable blank sheet that define a periphery of an object in the printable blank sheet. The dry lift strip includes a pressure sensitive adhesive layer connected to the sheet layer, a film layer connected to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer, a dry lift adhesive layer connected to the film layer, and a backing film layer connected to the dry lift adhesive layer. The adhesive strip includes an adhesive layer connected to the sheet layer and a cover layer connected to the adhesive layer.

         9 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the dry lift strip extends from a first end of the blank to a second end of the blank, and the adhesive strip extends from the first end of the blank to the second end of the blank. 
     
     
         10 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 1 , wherein when the object is removed from the printable blank sheet, the adhesive layer is exposed. 
     
     
         11 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 1 , and further comprising a plurality of adhesive strips. 
     
     
         12 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 11 , wherein a first adhesive strip is on a first side of the printable blank sheet and a second adhesive strip is on a second side of the printable blank sheet. 
     
     
         13 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the object is a wristband or a tag. 
     
     
         14 . A printable blank sheet comprising:
 a sheet layer;   a dry lift strip extending along a bottom of the sheet layer;   an adhesive strip extending along the bottom of the sheet layer adjacent the dry lift strip; and   cut lines in the printable blank sheet that define a periphery of a wristband in the printable blank sheet;   wherein a thickness of the dry lift strip differs from a thickness of the adhesive strip by 25 percent or less.   
     
     
         15 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 14 , wherein the dry lift strip extends from a first end of the blank to a second end of the blank, and the adhesive strip extends from the first end of the blank to the second end of the blank. 
     
     
         16 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 15 , further including a gap between the dry lift strip and the adhesive strip. 
     
     
         17 . The printable blank sheet of  claim 15 , wherein the sheet layer has a top surface capable of being printed on. 
     
     
         18 . The printable blank of  claim 17 , wherein the adhesive strip includes an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer is exposed when the wristband is removed from the printable blank sheet. 
     
     
         19 . A method of creating a custom print object, the method comprising:
 running a printable blank sheet through a printer, the printable blank sheet including:
 a sheet layer; 
 a dry lift strip extending along a bottom of the sheet layer, the dry lift strip including a dry lift adhesive layer connected to the film layer; 
 an adhesive strip extending along the bottom of the sheet layer adjacent the dry lift strip, the adhesive strip including an adhesive layer connected to the sheet layer; and 
 cut lines in the printable blank sheet that define a periphery of a wristband in the printable blank sheet; and 
   separating the wristband from the printable blank sheet.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein a thickness of the dry lift strip is about equal to a thickness of the adhesive strip.
