First Claim
1. A carrier sheet with an integrated card, said carrier sheet having printed information thereon, said printed information containing card information printed at a predetermined location on a front face of said carrier sheet in a card region of said sheet and oriented to be disposed on an outer surface of at least one of a front and a rear card panel of a card to be formed, a siliconized liner patch containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface is laminated on a back surface of said carrier sheet and disposed to extend over said card region, a face patch of clear poly material is immovably secured over said card region on said front face of said carrier sheet, a die cut delineates said front and rear card panels disposed adjacent one another and extends through said face patch, and said carrier sheet;
- said die cut card panels being retained in said carrier sheet by said pressure sensitive adhesive of said siliconized liner patch, and a straight fold line in said face patch between said front and rear card panels, said card being formable by peeling off said front and rear card panels from said carrier sheet with said pressure-sensitive adhesive releasing from said siliconized liner patch whereby said adhesive now lies on a back face of said front and rear card panels, and folding said panels along said straight fold line to mate said back face of said panels containing said pressure-sensitive adhesive together.

Abstract
A carrier sheet with an integrated card and preferably, but not exclusively, a magnetic strip card is described. The sheet contains printed information which is in part card information printed at a predetermined location on a front face of a carrier sheet in a card region thereof and oriented to be disposed on an outer surface of the front and a rear card panel of the card to be formed. The siliconized liner patch, containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive, is laminated on the back surface of the carrier sheet and disposed to extend over the card region. A face patch of clear poly material containing a magnetic strip is immovably secured over the card region on the front face of the paper carrier sheet. A die cut delineates card contour panels and a straight fold line separates the panel whereby they may be folded together when detached from the carrier sheet with the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the liner being transferred to the rear surface of the panels so that the panels can be folded together with their rear surface stuck together. The method of manufacture and a method of use is also described herein.

8. A method of forming a carrier sheet having an integrated detachable card, said method comprising the steps of:
-
i. printing a carrier sheet with information containing card information printed at a predetermined location on a front face of said carrier sheet in a card region of said carrier sheet and oriented to be disposed on an outer surface of at least one of a front and rear card panel of a card to be formed, ii. applying a siliconized liner patch containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface on a back surface of said carrier sheet and attached by said adhesive to extend over said card region, iii. securing a face patch of clear poly material over said card region on said front face of said carrier sheet, iv. die cutting said front and rear card panels in said card region, said die cut extending through said face patch and said carrier sheet whereby said die cut card adjacent one another are solely retained in said carrier sheet by said pressure sensitive adhesive on said siliconized liner patch on said back surface of said sheet, and v. forming a straight fold line in said face patch between said adjacent front and rear card panels to permit said adjacent card panels to be folded together on their back faces along said fold line when said adjacent die cut card panels are peeled off said siliconized liner patch with the pressure-sensitive adhesive on their back surface. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
