Abstract (en)

A web (110) of two-wide potentially separate business forms adjoined in series by transverse perforation lines (126) is provided, with a respective longitudinal row of sprocket holes (120,122) bordering each edge. Printing is placed on left and/or right portions of at least one face of the web, at least one portion of one face being variably printed. At the appropriate stages in relation to the printing, the web is severed along a medial longitudinal line (124) and the resulting two portions (146,154) are moved laterally, without rotation, towards superimposition, and each resulting one-wide, multiple ply potentially separate business form is marginally sealed, e.g. by activation of a pre-applied ring of adhesive (144). Severing of this composite web into separate business communications is facilitated because of substantial registration of the respective transverse perforation lines in the multiple plies.
