The invention relates to a specific web roll, a process for making the web roll, and a process for making a casemade binder. The web roll can be: 1) a laminate of plastic film and printed sheets, or 2) a laminate of two plastic films, or 3) a single plastic film. The web roll has images printed on the printed sheets in the first embodiment, images printed on one or both films of the second type, and a reverse printed image on the third embodiment. In each embodiment, the image includes at least one alignment spot that corresponds to each casemade binder. In each application, the web roll is aligned, cut and secured to a substrate for each binder so that the exterior of the binder has the image thereon.

Abstract:
A casing board for use as an information displaying and storage device, which may be formed into a binder, a storage box or be used as a flat board includes a substrate, an opaque intermediate covering layer affixed to the substrate and a transparent outer layer affixed to at least one of the substrate and the opaque covering layer at predetermined affixation locations to define a pocket intermediate the transparent layer and the opaque layer characterized by folded flaps defining turned-edge corners.
Casing Board Including Clear Overlay Defining Exterior Pocket
A casing board for organizing, storing, protecting and displaying communications media, such as papers, audio and video cassettes and compact discs, includes a substrate made of a relatively rigid material. The substrate includes a front cover portion, a rear cover portion and a spine portion positioned between and hingedly connected to the front cover portion and the rear cover portion. The casing board further includes an outer wrap made of a flexible, polyolefin material and sized to have longitudinal and lateral dimensions slightly greater than the longitudinal and lateral dimensions of the substrate. The outer wrap is positioned adjacent the exterior surface of the substrate with the longitudinal and lateral edges of the outer wrap turned over the periphery of the substrate and affixed, preferably with an adhesive, to the interior surface of the substrate. The casing board further includes a clear overlay made of a flexible, polyolefin material sized to have a longitudinal dimension slightly greater than the longitudinal dimension of the substrate. The clear overlay is positioned adjacent the outer wrap with the longitudinal edges of the clear overlay turned over the periphery of the substrate and affixed, preferably by thermal contact welding, to the longitudinal edges of the outer wrap.
