Abstract:
1. A method of making magazines that includes a pop-up structure on a web press wherein a 3D pop-up piece is operatively created as a part of one printed page of the web, which method comprises: printing a plurality of first signatures on the web of a web fed press, which first signatures each include at least three pairs of pages which are designed for assembly in juxtaposition with one another to create a portion of a magazine and which at least three pairs include a front page, a central page and a rear page, conveying said pages along a path as a part of the assembly of a first signature, placing adhesive on a surface of said web at a location which will create an adhesive bond between said central page and either said front or rear page of said signature, kiss-cutting a flat 3D piece from said central page while it is in surface to surface contact with one of said front and rear pages with said adhesive sandwiched therebetween, placing adhesive on another surface of said web at a location where it will create a bond between the opposite surface of said central page in the region of said 3D piece and said facing surface of the other of said front and rear pages, juxtapositioning the other page in association with said central page as a part of said first signature, and completing the assembly of said magazine by collecting said first signature and associating it with other signatures for binding, whereby said kiss-cut 3D piece becomes adhesively attached between the facing front and rear pages and when a recipient of the magazine opens same to said kiss-cut central page, said 3D piece pops-up and assumes an attention-attracting three-dimensional configuration in direct association with said facing front page.
