Abstract

A method of making an improved laminated member such as a membership card, label, coupon or other die-cut member having indicia printed on one or both sides which is bonded to a base sheet for shipment or display and which when removed from the base sheet leaves no exposed adhesive on either the base sheet or indicia-bearing member. A pair of transparent plastic sheets are releasably joined together by thermal pressure and are attached to a carrier sheet by a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Indicia are printed in mirror image on an exposed side of one of the plastic sheets and the card or label is bonded by an adhesive to this mirror image printed side. Additional indicia are printed on the other side of the card or label. This laminated member then can be die cut forming a plurality of individual labels or cards on the carrier sheet. These cards or labels then are stripped from the carrier sheet and applied by the pressure-sensitive adhesive remaining thereon onto individual base sheets for mailing and/or distribution. The adherence of the adhesive which attaches the laminated member on the base sheet is greater than the adherence between the joined plastic sheets, whereby the plastic sheets will separate upon removal of the label or card from the base sheet to provide a card having printing on both sides and without any adhesive being exposed either on the card or base sheet.
