Dual-sided thermal form card
View Patent ↗A dual-sided thermal form-card and method for manufacturing are provided. In an embodiment, the dual-sided thermal form card includes a dual-sided thermal form including a first side and a second side, and a dual-sided thermal card including a first side and a second side being integral with the form and detachable therefrom, wherein the form and the card are adapted to be thermally imaged from respective first and second sides thereof. In an embodiment, the method of manufacturing a dual-sided thermal form-card includes providing dual-sided thermal medium including a first side and a second side, and perforating or die cutting the dual-sided thermal medium to produce a form and a card integral to the form, wherein the form and the card are adapted to be thermally imaged from the first side and the second side.
1. A form-card comprising:
a dual-sided thermal form including a first side and a second side; and
a dual-sided thermal card being integral with the form and detachable therefrom, wherein the form is adapted to be thermally imaged from a first side and a second side of the form and the card is adapted to be thermally imaged from a first side and a second side of the card.
2. The form-card of claim 1 , wherein the form-card is perforated or die cut to form the card.
3. The form-card of claim 1 , further comprising a coating, wherein at least a first portion of the coating is included on the second side of the form and at least a second portion of the coating is included on the second side of the card.
4. The form-card of claim 3 , further comprising:
a laminate layer;
wherein the coating includes an adhesive layer and the laminate layer is adhered to the second side of the card by the adhesive layer.
5. The form-card of claim 4 , wherein the dual-sided thermal card is formed by perforations or die cuts through the form, the laminate layer and the adhesive layer.
6. The form-card of claim 4 , further comprising another coating, wherein at least a first portion of the other coating is included on the first side of the form and at least a second portion of the other coating is included on the first side of the card.
7. The form-card of claim 6 , further comprising:
another laminate layer;
wherein the other coating includes another adhesive layer and the other laminate layer is adhered to the first side of the card by the other adhesive layer.
8. The form-card of claim 7 , wherein the dual-sided thermal card is further formed by perforations or die cuts through the form, the one laminate layer, the one adhesive layer the other laminate layer, and the other adhesive layer.
9. The form-card of claim 3 , further comprising:
a first laminate layer;
wherein the coating includes an adhesive layer and the first laminate layer is adhered to the second side of the card by the adhesive layer;
a second laminate layer; and
a clean release layer between the first laminate layer and the second laminate layer.
10. The form-card of claim 9 , wherein the dual-sided thermal card is formed by perforations or die cuts through the form, the first laminate layer and the adhesive layer.
11. The form-card of claim 9 , further comprising a another coating, wherein at least a first portion of the other coating is included on the first side of the form and at least a second portion of the other coating is included on the first side of the card.
12. The form-card of claim 11 , further comprising:
a third laminate layer;
wherein the other coating includes another adhesive layer and the third laminate layer is adhered to the first side of the card by the other adhesive layer.
13. The form-card of claim 12 , wherein the dual-sided thermal card is further formed by perforations or die cuts through the form, the first laminate layer, the one adhesive layer, the third laminate layer, and the other adhesive layer.
