Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A card intermediate comprising a length of paper having top and bottom surfaces and a generally rectangular diecut extending therethrough between said surfaces to define a card, a film laminate adhesively secured to said bottom surface and extending beyond the diecut on all sides thereof, said laminate including two film layers adhesively untied in superposed relation with a first of said film layers being positioned adjacent said bottom surface and a second of said film layers being positioned remote from said bottom surface, said diecut extending through said first film layer but not said second film layer, said second film layer being substantially transparent and having upper and lower surfaces, said upper surface being adjacent said paper bottom surface and said lower surface being remote from said paper bottom surface, and reverse alpha and/or numeric information printed on said surface.
