Abstract

The method for producing indexable sets of inserts by printing a web in a repeating mode to form successive groups of printed areas, each group of printed areas corresponding to a particular set of inserts, imaging personalized information on at least one printed area of each group, longitudinally severing the webs into ribbons, superposing the ribbons one above another, transversely severing the superposed ribbons forming successively severed inserts, at least one of which serves as an indexing insert having a greater length than the remaining inserts in a particular set of inserts.
