A method of producing a folded item having printed information thereon to provide
information to the user of a product is disclosed. The method comprises (a) folding
the sheet by making a first fold in the sheet in a direction parallel to a first
direction; (b) folding the sheet by making a second fold in the sheet in a direction
parallel to the first direction to form a first folded article having a first end
and a second end opposite the first end; (c) making a plurality of transverse folds
in the first folded article in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction
to form a second folded article having a first end, a second end, a first portion
adjacent the first end of the second folded article, and a second portion adjacent
the second end of the second folded article; (d) folding the second folded article
by making an additional fold in a direction parallel to the second direction to
produce a third folded article having a first end, a second end, and a plurality
of intermediate portions disposed between the first and second ends of the third
folded article; (e) depositing an adhesive on a portion of the third folded article;
and (f) making a final fold in the third folded article in a direction parallel
to the second direction to form the folded item so that a portion of the third
folded article is wrapped around the intermediate portions of the third folded article.
