Description

Stationery item OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The invention, as the title of this specification indicates, is a stationery item consisting of a series of sheets with cuts and lines of weakness to create different reliefs. These cuts and lines are preferably made using CO2 laser technology. This innovation offers advantages previously unknown within current techniques. The present invention falls within the sector of diverse industrial techniques and transport in binding, albums, classifiers and special printed materials, especially in books, book covers, loose sheets, printed materials characterized by their identification or by their security characteristics, printed materials of a special format or type, not provided for elsewhere. Similarly, it falls under the classification of sheets gathered without binding to form files or blocks. STATE OF THE ART The present invention arises from the need detected in the market for promotional and stationery products that are unique and memorable. In a sector saturated with traditional products, many people and companies are looking for items that are not only functional, but also stand out for their originality and ability to generate an emotional impact. Accordingly, the present invention presents a stationery item with embossing, ideally created using CO2 laser technology, which forms three-dimensional decorative elements. This item, therefore, serves a dual purpose as both a stationery item and a decorative element. It not only offers exclusivity and an emotional connection with users, but also allows individuals and companies to communicate their values ​​and essence in a memorable and distinctive way. Currently, there is no known existence of any stationery item that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this descriptive report, as claimed. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is the creation of a stationery item that brings a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description. The stationery item consists of a series of sheets, usually made of cellulose (paper, thin cardboard, etc.), stacked one on top of the other. This creates a stack that can be loose and contained in a box, preferably transparent, or bound along one side to form a notebook. In either case, a main side will be defined, which could be where the sheets are joined, a main side of the box (for example, where the hinge of its lid is located)... The stationery item can be a book. The notebook can be bound using any known method: spiral, adhesive, etc. One or both sides of the notebook may have a thicker, more durable cover, as is common practice in notebook manufacturing. The stack of sheets will have a predetermined orientation, either indicated by the box or the notebook covers, so that the user can easily identify the first sheet. Several of the sheets of the card, generally starting with the first sheet and, where applicable, the cover that covers it, have a series of cuts that are preferably made by CO2 laser engraving technology, since this laser has greater precision and does not generate heat damage to the rest of the cellulosic material. The cuts of each sheet will generally be different, allowing for the creation of various types of decorative elements, which are generally compatible with each other: In one embodiment, each sheet has a straight crease line running from side to side, and at least one cut that starts from the crease line and, after a drawing is made, returns to it. The crease line allows the sheet to be folded, and the drawing will protrude on one side of the fold. In the preferred embodiment, each sheet has a line of weakness running from side to side, leaving a remnant of the sheet close to the main edge. That is, when the user pulls on the sheet, they are left with a piece and a remnant attached to the main edge. These lines of weakness vary from sheet to sheet, so that the sum of all the remnants creates a three-dimensional shape. In a second embodiment, each sheet has cuts that form one or more hollows, each with the desired shape. Each sheet can have different hollows. Thus, the stack of sheets creates a three-dimensional form, in this case one or more voids. This void can be finished, on a sheet or underside cover, with a drawing or engraving. The lines of weakness mentioned are generally made by lines of cuts (dots, small lines) that locally reduce the mechanical resistance of the blade. This invention solves the problem of a lack of originality in promotional stationery products by creating intricate three-dimensional designs through cuts and lines of weakness. As mentioned, the lines of weakness and cuts are preferably made using advanced CO2 laser engraving technology. This allows the items to be transformed into exclusive and personalized pieces, improving both their aesthetics and functionality, and providing a meaningful emotional connection with the users. The practical benefits of this technology include the ability to stand out in a saturated market, offering differentiated products that effectively communicate the values ​​and essence of brands. Precise customization of each design ensures unique pieces tailored to the client's needs, strengthening brand identity and creating a memorable, high-quality experience for the end user. The engraved patterns mimic the reliefs and textures of images, providing visual depth. These elements are customized according to the client's preferences, adding a unique and exclusive touch to each stationery item. EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES To complete the description being made and in order to help in the better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive memorandum is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by some figures in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented. Figure 1 shows an example of a stack of leaves in a box, where a number of leaves have been torn out to form a three-dimensional figure with the remains. Figure 2 shows an open notebook, highlighting the intricate three-dimensional details made by cutting. Figure 3 shows an embodiment where a folding line is defined by a line of weakness, leaving an emerging figure, made by cuts. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION. The construction of the figures comprises a series of sheets (1), forming a block. Each sheet (1) has a cut (3) and a line of weakness (2). These lines of weakness (2) reduce mechanical strength and are generally created by small cuts that form the line. The lines of weakness (2) may be straight or not. For example, they can form intricate designs, with twists and turns, but all within a single line. The stacks of paper define a main side (4), which can be bound together to form a notebook or something similar. If the stack is in a box (5), the box (5) can help define that side, for example, by the position of a hinge on the cover. The box (5) will preferably be transparent and may have a front (side opposite the hinge) that is lower than the other sides. In one embodiment, each sheet (1) has a transverse line of weakness (2) running across it from side to side, forming a separable part from the remainder (11). This remainder (11) is adjacent to the main side (4). Each sheet (1) has a different line of weakness (see Figure 1) such that the set of remainders (11) of the block defines a three-dimensional shape once all the sheets have been used (Figure 2). It is possible that the last sheets (1) do not have the line of weakness (2), so that they remain as the base of the three-dimensional shape. The cuts (3) are visible in the example in Figure 3, which shows a notebook with a cut (3) in the cover and in each sheet (1), defining a three-dimensional void. Each cut forms a closed shape, meaning there is no material in that part and it is possible to see through it. A solution combining lines of weakness (2) and cuts (3) is shown in Figure 3. In this solution, the sheet (1) has a straight line of weakness (2) running from side to side, and at least one cut (3) that starts from the line of weakness and, after creating a drawing, returns to it. That is, its ends lie on the line of weakness (2). The line of weakness (2) allows the sheet to be folded, with the drawing protruding on one side of the fold. The preferred method for making the cuts (3) and scoring lines is with CO2 laser technology, as it combines precision with reduced damage to the sheet material. Using blades is not as precise, and their wear can damage the paper and cause variations in quality. In this way, the manufactured items feature intricate three-dimensional patterns and details, giving the illusion of visual depth with customized designs that offer exclusivity and an emotional connection with users, allowing them to convey their identity in a memorable and distinctive way. Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages that derive from it, it being noted that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other modes of embodiment that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and which will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
