Abstract

A dual purpose pouch, laminated under heat and pressure to provide permanent sealed protection for a permanent identification card and a protective receptacle for a temporary identification card, is cut from a sheet of transparent plastic having a hard, smooth outer surface layer and an inner adhesive layer; the blank comprises a first panel larger than either card, a second panel smaller than the first panel but at least as large as the temporary card, and a third panel of the same size as the first panel, the second and third panels being joined along first and second fold lines to different edges of the first panel. To complete the protective pouch, the permanent card is placed on the adhesive layer of the first panel, the second panel is folded over the permanent card, covering it, the third panel is folded over the second panel, and the resulting folded assembly is laminated under heat and pressure to seal in the permanent card, leaving a protective receptacle for the temporary card intermediate the second and third panels, with access to that receptacle afforded adjacent the first fold line.
