I D card with blow on label
First Claim
1. An identification card intermediate comprising:
- a transparent plastic substrate having first and second edges parallel to each other, and third and fourth edges perpendicular to said parallel edges, and having first and second faces;
a base stock having first, third, and fourth edges in substantial alignment with said substrate first, third, and fourth edges, respectively; and
having first and second faces;
indicia printed on said first face of said base stock;
a release liner having second, third, and fourth edges in substantial alignment with said substrate second, third, and fourth edges, respectively, and having first and second faces;
an adhesive layer substantially covering said first face of said substrate, and connecting said second face of each of said base stock and said release liner to said substrate;
the length of said third and fourth edges of each of said release liner and said base stock being approximately one half the length of said substrate third and fourth edges; and
a sticker having dimensions substantially less than the dimensions of said release liner, and having first and second faces, with releasable adhesive removably attaching said sticker second face to said release liner, and indicia printed on said first face.

Abstract
An identification card intermediate includes a transparent plastic substrate with a base stock and release liner each covering about half of the substrate. Indicia is printed on a first face of the base stock. A sticker, having indicia printed on a first face of it, is connected by repositional adhesive to the release liner. The release liner and base stock are connected by permanent adhesive to the plastic substrate. A number of stickers may be provided on the release liner, each including a phone number (e.g. different phone numbers), or providing basically the same information in different languages. An identification card is produced by removing the sticker from the release liner and placing it on the base stock, then removing the release liner from the substrate, and moving the substrate over the first face of the base stock. The intermediate of the identification card is produced by moving a web comprising the substrate with attachments, printing indicia on the stickers, and blowing at least one sticker on the release liner of each intermediate as the web is moving.

15. A method of making an identification card intermediate, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) moving in a first direction a web comprising a transparent plastic substrate having adhesive on a first face thereof, with a base stock covering a first side of the first face, and a release liner covering a second side of the first face, opposite the first side, formed into a plurality of continuous, interconnected identification card intermediates; (b) printing indicia on each of a plurality of stickers, each having an adhesive face; and (c) blowing at least one sticker on the release liner of each intermediate as the web is moving in the first direction so that the adhesive on the sticker adhesive face releasably attaches it to the release liner. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. An identification card, comprising:
-
a transparent plastic substrate having a first face with permanent adhesive thereon, and having a length and a width; a base stock having about one half the length of said substrate and approximately the same width, and having a first face with indicia thereon, and a second face; a sticker having dimensions substantially less than that of said base stock, and indicia printed on a first face thereof, and repositional adhesive attaching said sticker second face to said base stock first face; and said plastic substrate being folded over said base stock so that said permanent adhesive attaches said substrate to both said first and second faces of said base stock, so that said substrate substantially completely covers said base stock, with said base stock first face indicia and said sticker indicia, visible through said plastic.
