Abstract
The invention discloses an environmentally conscious identification badge crafted from badge stock made of paper or other composite material, featuring dual surfaces for printing identification information using a designated printer. The identification badge integrates a selective self-adhesive resin or other coating on at least one of its surfaces, ensuring secure bonding when folded without the need for additional fasteners. The identification badge and its badge stock are also designed with the flexibility for one or more perforations for lanyard attachment. The innovation avoids the need for liner paper and simplifies the process and cost of manufacturing durable multi-ply identification badges.
