1. A method for producing a secure card package containing a point-of-sale activatable card, comprising:
- providing a first panel and a second panel each comprising paper stock and having a non-polymeric coated inner surface;
printing a heat-activatable adhesive directly upon the non-polymeric coated inner surface of the first panel;
allowing the heat-activatable adhesive to dry upon the non-polymeric coated inner surface of the first panel;
locating a point-of-sale activatable card between the inner surface of the first panel and an inner surface of the second panel, after the step of allowing the heat-activatable adhesive to dry upon the non-polymeric coated inner surface of the first panel; and
,activating the heat-activatable adhesive, after the locating step, by applying heat and pressure only in a region substantially surrounding and offset from the point-of-sale activatable card to enclose the point-of-sale activatable card in a secure space between the first and second panels.

18. A method for producing a secure card package containing a point-of-sale activatable card, comprising:
-
providing a first panel and a second panel each comprising paper stock and each having a clay coated inner surface and a clay coated outer surface; printing a heat-activatable adhesive comprising polyurethane directly upon the clay coated inner surface of the first panel; allowing the heat-activatable adhesive to dry upon the clay inner surface of the first panel; locating a point-of-sale activatable card between the inner surface of the first panel and the inner surface of the second panel, after the step of allowing the heat-activatable adhesive to dry upon the coated inner surface of the first panel; and
