Abstract

A counter card comprises a panel. The panel has a front panel operatively connected to a back panel via a scored edge. The front panel has a pocket integrally formed therewith. The back panel has an easel integrally formed therewith to support the counter card. When the pocket is assembled, it forms a rigid presentation pocketed counter card that will not come off or apart had the pocket been mechanically attached to the card. In its unassembled form the counter card is a single flat piece of material suitable for packaging shipping economically. In addition, another economical advantage is prior to gluing the front and back panels together the card can be processed in one pass through the printer, for printing instructions, and one pass through the die cutter thereby saving production costs.
