Laminated card assembly

A longitudinally extending assembly having a width and a length for printing by a laser or ink jet printer or photocopier, said assembly comprising:

• a display card-forming section extending along the entire width and part of the length of said assembly;
• an identification card-forming section attached to said display card-forming section and extending along the entire width and part of length of said assembly, wherein said identification card-forming section comprises:
• a longitudinally extending backing sheet having a first side, a second side suitable for receiving printing, and an opening;
• a card having an extent, said card substantially filling said opening;
• and
• a longitudinally extending substantially transparent plastic lamination sheet adhered to a first portion of said first side of said backing sheet, said lamination sheet having an extent approximately equal to at least twice the extent of said card, wherein said assembly has a substantially constant thickness across the entire width and length of the assembly to prevent jamming in the laser or ink jet printer or photocopier.

An assembly for creating a laminated identification printable sheet area for printing by a laser or inkjet printer or photocopier, the assembly comprising:

• a backing sheet comprising a first side, a second side which has a printing surface, and an opening;
• an identification printable sheet having an area substantially filling said opening and being removable positioned in said opening;
• a substantially transparent plastic lamination sheet adhered to said first side of said backing sheet, said lamination sheet being substantially coextensive with said backing sheet;
• said lamination sheet comprising a removable portion which releasably adheres to and covers one surface of said identification printable sheet area and which removably adheres to said backing sheet adjacent to said opening;
• and
• said removable portion of said lamination sheet having an extent approximately equal to twice the extent of said identification printable sheet area;
• wherein the assembly has a substantially constant thickness across said assembly so as to prevent jamming in a laser or inkjet printer or photocopier, and wherein said removable portion of said lamination sheet may be folded over to enclose said printable sheet area.

An assembly for creating laminated cards for printing by a laser or inkjet printer or photocopier, the assembly comprising:

• a backing sheet comprising a first side, a second side which has a printing surface, and an opening;
• a card, said card substantially filling said opening and being removably positioned in said opening;
• a substantially transparent plastic lamination sheet adhered to said first side of said backing sheet, said lamination sheet being substantially coextensive with said backing sheet;
• said lamination sheet comprising a removable portion which firmly adheres to and covers one surface of said card and which removably adheres to said backing sheet adjacent to said opening;
• and
• said removable lamination portion having an extent approximately equal to twice the extent to said card;
• wherein the assembly has a substantially constant thickness across the entire width and length of the assembly so as to prevent jamming in a laser or inkjet printer or photocopier.

An assembly for creating laminated cards for printing by an office printing machine, the assembly comprising:

• a backing sheet comprising a first side, a second side which has a printing surface, and an opening;
• a card, said card substantially filling said opening and being removably positioned in said opening;
• a substantially transparent plastic lamination sheet adhered to said first side of said backing sheet, said lamination sheet juxtaposed with said backing sheet over an extended area extending well beyond said card in all directions;
• said transparent plastic lamination sheet comprising a removable portion which has die cut edges between said lamination portion and the remainder of said lamination sheet, and said lamination portion firmly adheres to and covers one surface of said card and which removably adheres to said backing sheet adjacent to said opening;
• and
• said removable lamination portion having an extent approximately equal to twice the extent of said card;
• whereby said card may be pushed through said lamination sheet secured to and carrying said lamination portion, and the remainder of said lamination portion may than be folded over said card to seal said card on both sides by said lamination portion.
