Abstract
A sheet construction has side-by-side first and second panels separated from one another by a fold line. In a single pass through a printer or copier normal-orientation (first) indicia is printed on the first panel and reverse-orientation (second) indicia is printed on the second panel on the same (first) face of the sheet construction as the normal-orientation indicia. The second panel, but not the first panel, has a backlit film construction such that the reverse-orientation indicia shows through the second panel clearly as normal-orientation (second) indicia on the opposite (second) face. The sheet construction is then folded on the fold line to form a printed half-fold card. Thereby, the first face of the second panel (which has the normal-orientation (second) indicia) defines the front cover of the printed card and the second face of the first panel (which has the normal-orientation (first) indicia) defines the inside of the printed card.
