Abstract
A method for making embossed blanks for sample packages and other free-standing three dimensional display items from a sheet-type work material. The sheet-type work material has a top layer of sheet material, an intermediate layer of sheet material, and a carrier layer of sheet material. In operation, a printer prints an image onto the work material, which is then advanced to a processing mechanism where a creaser places indented fold lines into the work material, a knife cuts a blank from the work material, and an embosser embosses a design into the work material.
