Abstract

A card with a picture-contained mirror surface layer comprises an upper covering layer; an upper middle layer installed below the upper covering layer; a lower middle layer installed below the upper middle layer; a lower covering layer installed below the lower middle layer; and a picture-contained mirror surface layer installed at a position between the upper covering layer and the upper middle layer or between the upper middle layer and the lower middle layer, or the picture-contained mirror surface layer is installed between the lower middle layer and the lower covering layer. Or the combination of the different layers is performed by mechanically melting the layers and then combining the melting layers. The picture-contained mirror surface layer is made from compound material or metals. The picture is selected from textures, numbers, figures, or the combinations of above items. The different layers have present different light effect.
