Abstract
A card package production system () for producing card packages () composed of cards () attached to carriers () has an adhesive label attachment station (, FIG.) with a heating platen () having a width for heating at least two labels () simultaneously that are passed over the platen () and a labeler downstream from the heating platen () with a pressing member () for pressing the heated adhesive label () against a card () at an attachment position. The heating platen () heats only an intermediate section of the adhesive to activate the adhesive and leaves end portions of the label relatively unheated and unactivated to facilitate subsequent removal of the label () from the card ().
