Card assemblies for concealing and protecting activation indicia on the card assembly. Two panels, either discrete or foldable, form the card itself, such as a CR80 card or an M6 card assembly, with or without a CR80 snap-off portion. Activation indicia, such as a barcode, can be printed or otherwise applied to an exterior portion of the card assembly, or printed or otherwise applied to an interior of the assembly which is accessed by a tamper evident pull tab. Redemption indicia, such as an alpha-numeric code, can be applied to an interior surface of the card, which is accessed by a tamper evident pull tab or other tab.

ABSORBENT ARTICLES HAVING VARIABLE DATA THEREON AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRINTING SUCH ARTICLES
Printed articles having unique data thereon, and flexible substrate printing systems and methods that allow for customization of flexible, absorbent substrates. Customization is accomplished by printing variable data on substrate stock in a single run or production pass such that at least some of the articles in a set of articles contains printed matter different from printed matter on other articles in the same set. The substrate stock can include napkin material, toilet tissue material, paper towel material, or any other similar substrate. One or more print engines are configured to receive substrate stock from the conveyor and print variable matter on the substrate stock. The methods and systems allow for economical and efficient production of small or large customer orders without the need to produce individual printing dies or plates.

Financial transaction card packaging having removable portion
A financial transaction card is packaged within a carrier which contains the card and prevents access to any indicia borne on the card (e.g., magnetic stripe, barcode, and the like) prior to activation of the financial transaction account associated with the card at the point of sale. The package bears no alternative indicia correlated with those borne on the card, and thus only the indicia on the card itself may be used for account activation. Such indicia are exposed at the point of sale by opening a section of the carrier to reveal the actual indicia borne on the card itself. Thus, any breakage of the carrier or other attempts to access the card within the packaging, prior to presentation of the packaged card for activation at the point of sale, is evidence of tampering of the package. In a preferred embodiment, the package is a simple three-panel, partially perforated construction that provides substantial security for the packaged card, at minimal manufacturing cost.
Mass customization of articles with a customized composite or dimensional image created from one or more custom images, such as photographs, text, and the like. The customized composite image is automatically generated by interlacing, or otherwise combining, the one or more custom or personalized images, and is automatically placed or imposed in a digital template to form a print ready file. The print file is then digitally printed on a substrate and a lens is married thereto such that the composite image is viewable through the lens. Alternatively, the print ready file, or at least the customized composite image, is printed directly on the back of a lens such that the composite image is viewable through the lens.

A foiled article and methods of making the foiled article. The foiled article (100) includes a substrate (102) with one or more foiled areas (106) on one or both surfaces of the substrate. The foiled areas are formed by applying a predetermined pattern of toner or ink to the substrate, and bonding a foil material to the patterned areas by the application of heat. The foiled areas can then be printed to create a multi-colored foil, images, or text thereon (108). The foiled areas can be simultaneously printed with the non-foiled areas. The digital patterning of the toner or ink, as well as the optional digital printing of the foiled areas allow for variable images without the expenditure for stamping dies and printing plates, such that a short-run product can be produced at lower cost with faster turn around times than traditional foiling processes.
