Description

SPECIFICATION Process for producing plasticized identification cards The present invention relates to a process for producing plasticized identification cards of the type incorporating a support made up of paper, cardboard or similar material, allowing personalized information to be inscribed by hand and/or by machine, the said support being sealed as a result of the application of heat and pressure, if appropriate together with a photograph of the card holder, between two sheets of a transparent complex composed of two layers of different plastics, the plastic of the inner layer facing the support having a lower melting point than the plastic of the outer layer.
Identification cards, whether they are, for example, identity cards, driving licences, etc., or badge cards used for other purposes, possess personalized information inscribed by hand or by machine on one face only, whilst the other face is practically useless and at the most has some inscriptions printed in advance. The reason for this is that, if, for example, personalized information was to be inscribed on both faces of the support by means of a typewriter, it would be necessary, after one of the faces of the support had been completed, to remove the support from the typewriter and reinsert it in the latter after it had been turned over, this being very difficult in practice because of the reduced size desired for such identification cards.
In the event that the personalized information is inscribed by means of an automatic machine, such as a computer printer, it is practically impossible to turn the cards over in this way.
Consequently, plasticized identification cards known at the present time, which bear personalized information on one face only, are of relatively large size and are therefore difficult to handle and impractical, especially if these cards are to receive a large number of items of information, where appropriate in addiction to a photograph or, for example, fingerprints of the card holder.
The subject of the present invention is a production process which makes it possible to produce simply and quickly plasticized identification cards which can be of reduced size, but at the same time can include a large number of personalized information items and which possess all the advantages of tamper-proofing and firmness of known plasticized cards.
ln the production process according to the invention, the card information support used is a sheet of paper, cardboard or other similar material which is covered on one face with a layer of plastic having a lower melting point than the plastic of the outer layer of the two sheets between which the support is to be sealed, the said sheet being twice the size of the information support of the final card. The personalized information is inscribed manually and/or by machine on the uncovered face of the support. The support is subsequently folded in two, the covered face of one half of the support against the covered face of the other half of the support. The support folded in this way, if appropriate together with an identity photograph, is placed between the two complex sheets of a size a little larger than that of the folded support.Finally, the assembly consisting of the folded support and the two complex sheets is subjected to the action of heat and pressure, in order to seal the two complex sheets to the support and to one another by means of their inner layers and seal the two folds of the support to one another by means of the said layer covering one face of the support.
The use of an information support sheet twice the size of the final card makes it possible to inscribe personalized information without difficulty, by hand and/or by machine (for example, a typewriter or computer printer), on the same face of the support sheet which, after this sheet has been folded, constitutes the front face and back face of the support. Thus, after folding, the latter bears the information on its two faces, thus making it possible, for one and the same number of information items, to reduce the size of the final card incomparison with a card bearing information on one face only. Moreover, because the support sheet is folded in two, it is possible to use a sheet having a lower strength than that used for present cards, for example a paper having a strength of the order of 90 to 100 grammes.The fact that the support sheet is covered, on its face which does not receive any inscriptions, with a layer of plastic having a low melting point ensures that, after heat sealing, the two folds of the sheet are joined to one another inseparably. At the same time, the inner layers of the outer complex sheets are joined inseparably to the two outer faces of the folded support sheet and to one another over the entire periphery of the folded support sheet, the assembly as a whole thus forming an inseparable and tamper-proof block.
To form a rectangular card which is the most customary shape for identification cards, the invention makes use of a support sheet which, before folding, has a size corresponding to two supports with their short sides placed next to one another.
Thus, before folding, there are, for inscription purposes, support sheets the width of which corresponds to that of sheets generally used for typing on a typewriter or computer printer.
In the event of personalized information being inscribed by means of a computer printer, a continuous paper strip provided with perforations on its two longitudinal edges is advantageously used to form the information supports, and in this strip each support sheet is delimited by perforations or similar weakening lines in a longitudinal transverse direction, the perforations or longitudinal lines separating the sheets from the perforations and the perforations or transverse lines separating the sheets from one another.
The outer complex sheets of the identification card can consist, in a way known per se, of a complex of polyester and polyethylene. Each time, two sheets of this type can be joined together in advance, by being welded along one edge, in the form of a pocket receiving the information support.
The support advantageously consists of a sheet of paper, cardboard or similar material covered on one face with polyethylene, for example by means of extrusion. However, it is also possible to use a sheet of paper, cardboard or similar material covered with an acrylic resin applied, for example, by means of coating in the aqueous state or in the melted state ("hot melt").
With reference to the attached drawing, an ill use trative and non-limiting embodiment of the process according to the invention will be described below in more detail; in the drawing: Figure 7 is a view of the front of part of a continuous sheet from which the information supports of the card according to the invention are produced; Figure 2 is a plan view of a card produced according to the present invention; Figure 3 is a section along the line Ill-Ill of Figure 2 on a larger scale.
Figure 1 shows part of a continuous sheet 1 consisting, for example, of paper covered on the back, that is to say on the face which is invisible in Figure 1, with a layer of plastic of relatively low melting point, for example polyethylene or acrylic resin. The strip 1 possesses, on each of its two longitudinal edges, a row of perforations 2 which is commonly called a carol strip and which serves for feeding the strip 1 into a printer, for example a computer printer.
The strip 1 forms a succession of rectangular zones 3 which are delimited by transverse weakening lines 4 separating the successive zones 3 from one another and by longitudinal weakening lines 5 separating the zones 3 from the carol strips 2. Two rectangular boxes 6 and 7, with their short sides placed next to one another, are printed side by side on the front of the strip 1 on each zone 3. information 8 and 9, for example relating to the intended use or the like, and information 10 and 11, which must be completed by inscribing personalized information, are printed in advance in the boxes 6 and 7. Moreover, the box 7 includes a zone 12 intended for receiving an identity photograph.
To establish an identification card, the information 10 and 11 in the two boxes 6 and 7 of a zone 3 is completed, for example, by means of a typewriter or a computer printer, for example with the name, occupation, code number etc. of the card holder or of the person responsible for establishing the cards being inscribed there, if appropriate these personalized inscriptions are completed by the signature of the holder or of the person responsible for establishing the cards, and subsequently the zone 3 is separated from the continuous strip 1. The zone 3 is folded into two equal parts corresponding to the two boxes 6 and 7, so that the plastic-covered back faces of these two folds come up against one another.The information support folded in this way is subsequently placed between two transparent sheets of a plastic complex having different melting points, for example polyethylene and polyester, in such a way that the layers of polyethy lene having a lower melting point and belonging to the two complex sheets face one another and also face the folded information support, whilst the layers of polyester having a higher melting point face outwards.The assembly comprising the information support 3 and the two complex sheets located on either side of the support 3 are introduced into a plasticizing device called a laminator, in order, as result of the combined action of heat and pressure, to seal the two complex sheets to the two faces of the folded information support and to one another over the periphery of the support and to seal the two folds of the support to one another as result of the melting of the layers having a lower melting point and belonging to the two complex sheets and as result of the melting of the layer of plastic covering the sheet constituting the support. These sealing operations result in an identification card which can be seen in Figure 2 and all the constituent parts of which are joined to one another inseparably, thus making the card tamper-proof.
Figure 3, which is a section along the line lil - Ill of Figure 2 on a larger scale, shows the two folds 13a,13b of the information support which are joined to one another as result of the sealing of a layer of plastic 14 covering the back of a paper sheet 15, and also shows the two complex sheets 16 and 16b, of which the inner layers 17, for example consisting of polyethylene, are sealed to the paper sheet 15 of the support and are sealed to one another over the periphery of the support 3.
Thus, the identification card is protected perfectly by the outer layers 18a, 18b of the two complex sheets 16a, 16b, and the layers 18a, 18b can consist of a material resistant to acids, to tearing, to heat, etc., for example polyester.
It goes without saying that, within the scope of the invention, there can be many modifications and alternate forms of the process as described above and illu strated in the attached drawing.
Thus, it is possible, for example, to use for the information support high security paper which is watermarked or the like with phosphorescent particles. Moreover, the card can have a magnetic track and/or can be embossed to allow automatic reading. To prevent the photograph, provided if appropriate, from causing extra thickness, it is possible to cut out the zone 12 and place the photograph in this cut-out.
Finally, it is appropriate td note that the process according to the invention is particularly useful for producing cards receiving a very large number of personalized information items which are to be inscribed manually and, in particular, by machine.
