Abstract
Abstract A construction for a laminated card or label is provided including a transparent film having a pressure sensitive adhesive on one surface thereof and liner stock having first and second major surfaces. The first surface has a release coating adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive on the film. Variable information may be printed on the second surface of the liner stock within the die cut area, and the die cut card removed from the transparent film and replaced printed side down onto the adhesive surface of the film, thereby laminating the card to the film. The card is then peeled away from remainder of the construction at the die cut around the film and folded with the indicia facing outward to laminate the sides the card together. The printed surfaces of the card are direct contact with the adhesive, thus preventing tampering of the card.
