Claim Text:
1. A method of creating a printed substrate suitable for conversion into a three-dimensional object, comprising: generating, by a template generator, a printing template, the template comprising first die line data representing a first cutting path and folding position data representing a folding path; receiving foreground image data representative of a first image; automatically applying the first image data to the selected printing template to define a target location for the first image; by the template generator, defining a second die line around a portion of the target location to form a second cutting path based on the first image data; receiving from the template generator, by a system comprising a printing device, a cutting device and a scoring device, information comprising the target location, the first die line data, the folding position data, and data defining the second die line; printing onto a substrate, by the printing device, the first image at the target location; and cutting, by the cutting device, the substrate along the first cutting path and the second cutting path; and scoring, by the scoring device, the substrate along the folding path to generate a printed substrate that will fold into a three-dimensional object.
