Abstract

A lamination plate assembly for use in the manufacture of plastic lenticular cards includes a front lamination plate with first and second opposing planar surfaces. The front lamination plate is shaped to define a plurality of transverse bores that are arranged in a grid. Each bore in the front lamination plate is dimensioned to fittingly receive a corresponding, disc-shaped metal insert in a flush relationship relative thereto, with each insert preferably retained within its associated bore using an appropriate bonding agent. The lamination plate assembly additionally includes a bore-free, back lamination plate with first and second opposing planar surfaces, the back lamination plate being stacked front-to-back against the front lamination plate. The exposed surface of each insert includes a lenticular lens structure, such as an array of parallel, semi-cylindrical grooves or notches, which together create a corresponding lenticular lens structure in a multilayered plastic card sheet produced during lamination.
