Pop-up items having pressure-sensitive adhesive

Claim 1

A pop-up item, which comprises a front sheet having a front surface and a rear surface, a rear sheet, and pressure-sensitive adhesive attaching said front and rear sheets to each other, said rear sheet having a front release surface so that said pressure-sensitive adhesive adheres to the rear surface of said front sheet when said front and rear sheets are separated from each other, said front sheet having die-cut therein a pop-up structure that is generally divided into two halves interconnected along a fold-line, with said halves having different overall shapes but including at least two flag sections of generally similar size and shape and at least two hinged subpanels, so that, following separation of said die-cut pop-up structure entirely from said rear sheet to expose all said pressure-sensitive adhesive upon its rear surface, said die-cut pop-up structure can be folded along said fold-line to superimpose one flag section atop the other to join both together and create a pop-up element of planar configuration in the form of said joined flag sections and said hinged subpanels which subpanels are unaligned as a result of said different overall shapes of said two halves, with each subpanel having an exposed surface which carries pressure-sensitive adhesive, whereby said pop-up element can be affixed to a supporting surface or to a pair of hinged-together panels in a manner that said pop-up element assumes a three-dimensional configuration.
