A die cut printed blank (10) providing a bisectional, continuous printed
surface (24) defined by non-magnetic and magnetic sheets (12,14)
joined with an adhesion seam (36) is disclosed. The blank (10) broadly
includes a printable sheet (12), a magnetic sheet (14) coupled to
the printable sheet (12), a coating carrier (16) applied to the magnetic
sheet (14), and a plurality of die cuts (18) in the magnetic sheet
(14). The coating carrier (16) is a thin solid liner having a relatively
low coefficient of friction that is formed by applying a curable liquid to the
rear face (34b) of the magnetic layer (34) and then UV curing
the liquid to form the solid liner (16). The coating carrier (16)
retains the magnetic sheet (14) together after the sheet (14) has
been die cut and enables the sheet (14) to be easily and quickly removed
from a stack of other similar magnetic sheets without inhibiting the desired magnetic
properties of the finished printed blank (10).
