Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a pop-up article using an inline printing press comprising: processing a first web to define a base piece having a front cover and a back cover separated by a first fold; processing a second web to define a pop-up device having a pop-up panel, a front flap adjoining an end of the pop-up panel, and a rear flap adjoining an opposite end of the pop-up panel, the rear flap supporting a sliding portion having a tab disposed distally from the pop-up panel; separating the pop-up device from the second web; adhering the tab to the front cover in proximity to the first fold; adhering the front flap to the back cover; and separating the article from the first web; wherein the pop-up panel forms a flat shape when the base piece is closed such that the front cover and the back cover are generally parallel to each other and the pop-up device is disposed therebetween; and wherein the pop-up panel forms a generally semi-cylindrical shape extending upwardly from the base piece when the base piece is opened such that the front cover and the back cover are generally aligned with each other.
