Abstract
A card package assembly, and method of production, are particularly suited for use with telephone debit cards. A package is formed by folding a sheet of paper into three panels, one of which has a cutout with adhesive adjacent it. The card is held to the paper covering the cutout with identifying indicia on the card visible through the cutout from the bottom during processing, to allow verification. A tracking strip that may be readily detached from the package without opening it has tracking indicia and transfer tape on the back so that when the release sheet portion of the transfer tape is removed, adhesive is exposed which allows the tracking strip to be connected to any desired surface. The package also includes an opening-facilitating strip which is preferably reinforced, also preferably with a strip of transfer tape. The card within the package is not visible from its exterior, although a substantially actual size replica of the first face of the card may be printed on a sheet portion which will form the exterior of the package.
