Abstract:
1. A card sheet, comprising: a top sheet having an inkjet or laser print-receptive front side and a back side; a polymer carrier layer attached directly to the back side in a manner so as to prevent separation therefrom; at least one cut line through the top sheet to form at least a portion of a perimeter of a card; and the polymer carrier layer having stress and elongation properties such that after the card sheet has been passed through a printer or copier and desired indicia printed on the card sheet, the card sheet is capable of snap-breaking with only a single fold such that the polymer carrier layer snap breaks along one of the at least one cut line to form an edge of a separate or separable printed card whose entire bottom surface is defined by a bottom surface of the card sheet.
