A dual purpose pouch, laminated under heat and pressure to provide permanent sealed protection for a permanent identification card and a protective receptacle for a temporary identification card, is cut from a sheet of transparent plastic having a hard, smooth outer surface layer and an inner adhesive layer; the blank comprises a first panel larger than either card, a second panel smaller than the first panel but at least as large as the temporary card, and a third panel of the same size as the first panel, the second and third panels being joined along first and second fold lines to different edges of the first panel. To complete the protective pouch, the permanent card is placed on the adhesive layer of the first panel, the second panel is folded over the permanent card, covering it, the third panel is folded over the second panel, and the resulting folded assembly is laminated under heat and pressure to seal in the permanent card, leaving a protective receptacle for the temporary card intermediate the second and third panels, with access to that receptacle afforded adjacent the first fold line.
A dual purpose pouch laminatable under heat and pressure to provide permanent, sealed protection for a permanent identification card of width W4 and height H4 and affording a protective receptacle for a temporary identification card of width W5 and height H5, the pouch being cut from a sheet of transparent plastic having an outer surface layer of hard, tough, smooth abrasion-resistant resin coated with an inner adhesive layer, activatable by heat and pressure to seal contacting portions of the inner layer to each other at levels which do not effect adherence between contacting portions of the inner and outer layers, the pouch comprising:
