Abstract
Difficulties with removing an identification card as part of a business form and/or costs concerns in making such business forms with readily removable cards are avoided in a business form incorporating a removable identification card made by the steps of a) providing a base sheet (10) of a relatively destructible material such as paper and having an area (20) intended to be an identification card; b) adhering a laminate layer (30), (34) of relatively indestructible material to the base sheet (10) to cover the area (20) on at least the underside of the base sheet (10); c) placing a layer of adhesive (50), (52) on the laminate layer (34) and to the sides (40), (42), (44), (46) thereof to be on the base sheet (10) adjacent the laminate layer (34); d) adhering a liner layer (56) to the laminate layer (34) and the base sheet (10) with the layer of adhesive (50), (52) and e) placing a continuous, closed die cut (26) about the area with the die cut extending through the laminate layer (30), (34) and the base sheet (10) but not through the liner layer (56).
