Claim:
A method of making card sheet, comprising: coating a polymer carrier layer directly onto a back side of a top sheet, wherein the top sheet includes a layer of paper, the layer of paper has a back side that is the back side of the top sheet, the resulting polymer carrier layer has a top side and an opposing back side, and the top side of the polymer carrier layer is coupled to the back side of the top sheet; applying a layer on the back side of the polymer carrier layer; and cutting at least one cut line entirely through the top sheet to form at least a portion of a perimeter of a card; wherein the polymer carrier layer has stress and elongation properties such that after the sheet has been passed through a printer or copier and desired indicia printed on the front side or on a coating on the top sheet, the sheet can be folded forward with a single folding action so that the polymer carrier layer snap breaks along one of the at least one cut line to form a separate or separable printed card.
