Claim:
A method of producing a business form having a removable integrated card on a second apparatus using a pre-cut laminate produced on a first apparatus, the method comprising: providing a backing layer having a first side and an opposing second side; adhesively securing a second side of a liner layer to at least a portion of the first side of the backing layer using the first apparatus; forming the pre-cut laminate using the first apparatus by cutting an integrated removable card portion of the backing layer and thereafter supporting the integrated removable card portion of the backing layer with the liner layer; arranging the pre-cut laminate into a dispensing configuration; transferring the pre-cut laminate in the dispensing configuration from the first apparatus used for producing the pre-cut laminate to the second apparatus; providing a base layer having a first side and an opposing second side; converting the dispensing configuration into a feed configuration; adhesively securing the second side of the base layer to at least a portion of the first side of the liner layer of the pre-cut laminate in the feed configuration using the second apparatus; and forming a die cut extending substantially through the base and liner layers and at least partially surrounding the integrated removable card portion of the backing layer so that the backing layer maintains the card in the form against unintentional removal from the form.
