Abstract
The present invention is a business form with an integrated card. The form comprises a base paper layer having top and bottom surfaces and a periphery, a primary film layer having top and bottom surfaces and a periphery, a breakaway layer coated on the top surface within the periphery of the primary film layer, and an adhesive layer wherein the breakaway layer is adhesively secured to the bottom of the secondary film layer, at least one die cut through the top and bottom surfaces within the periphery of the form layer, through the adhesive layer, and through the breakaway layer. The die cut base paper layer, adhesive layer and breakaway layer comprise an information card wherein the breakaway layer has a greater affinity for the adhesive layer than the top surface of the primary film layer such that when the information card is removed from the form, the breakaway layer stays adhered to the bottom surface of the base paper layer. A secondary film layer and second adhesive layer may also be added for added rigidity of the information card.
