Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a photo card, which allows individual photos to be inserted and laminated after manufacturing the card body into which the photo is inserted. It is.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a large number of photo cards have been used in bank cash cards, credit cards, identification cards, and other identification cards, in which a photo of one's face is included.

(Prior art) These photo cards are regulated in terms of card size, thickness, magnetic stripe, etc., but when manufacturing the cards, a method is adopted in which a large number of photos are enclosed at the same time in their original state. ing.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in cases where a small number of photographs are added later, the above-mentioned method of manufacturing a card by simultaneously enclosing a large number of photographs in their original state does not allow for the inclusion of a predetermined number of photographs. If the number of impositions is not equal, the product will not be completely completed, so there are many aspects that are wasted in terms of time and cost.

In addition, in conventional methods, encoding of the magnetic stripe formed on the photo card is done after the photo card is manufactured, which makes matching with the facial photo very complicated and requires a lot of time and effort when matching or encoding. However, there were problems in maintaining safety.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, in a photo card constructed by laminating a first sheet, a second sheet, a third sheet, and a fourth sheet from the bottom, A release agent is applied to the upper surface of the second sheet or the lower surface of the third sheet at the position where the photograph is inserted, and a half-opened photograph insertion frame is formed at the position corresponding to the position where the photograph is inserted on the third sheet. Apply a mold release agent to the photo cover film insertion position on the top surface of the third sheet or the bottom surface of the fourth sheet, and place the photo cover film insertion frame in a half-opened state at the position corresponding to the photo cover film insertion position on the fourth sheet. 1.2, 3.
After stacking and laminating the four sheets, the photo encapsulation frame and the photo cover film insertion frame are peeled off to produce a card body, and the photo encapsulation frame of the card body is die-cut to match the frame. The present invention proposes a method for manufacturing a photo card in which a cover film cut out to fit the photo is inserted into the photo cover film insertion frame and then glued or heat-sealed. .

(Function) That is, in this invention, the card body in which the photo is enclosed is manufactured first, and the photo can then be inserted into the photo insertion frame formed in the card body, which simplifies the manufacture of the photo card. In addition, it is also possible to add a small number of photos later as described above.

In addition, this invention allows the user to insert a photo into the card body in a short time and with simple operations, and furthermore allows the user to insert a photo into the card body using existing embossers/encoders, CDs, ATs, etc.
Peripherals such as M and card readers can be used as is.

Therefore, names, numbers, symbols, etc. can be added to the photo at the same time, and work such as encoding to the magnetic stripe can be done while comparing facial photos, etc., which increases the security of the photo card. .

(Example) Examples of this invention will be shown below.

The drawings show the manufacturing process of the photo card according to the present invention. To explain the manufacturing process, 1 is a first sheet made of a transparent plastic sheet, 2 is a second sheet made of the same plastic sheet, and 3 is a transparent plastic sheet. The third sheet 4 is a transparent plastic sheet, and each of the above cards is manufactured according to regulations regarding its thickness, etc., and the top surface of the fourth sheet 4 is magnetically attached according to regulations. Stripe 5 is attached.

Further, card designs such as pictures and letters are applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the second sheet 2. Each of the above-mentioned sheets constitutes a card body by laminating the first sheet 1, second sheet 2, third sheet 3, and fourth sheet 4 from the bottom.
In this invention, a release agent 6 is applied to the upper surface of the second sheet 2 or the lower surface of the third sheet 3 at the position where the photograph is to be inserted.
Further, a half-opened photo-enclosing frame 7 is formed at a position corresponding to the above-mentioned photo-inserting position on the third sheet 3.

In addition, a release agent 8 is applied to the photo cover film insertion position on the top surface of the third sheet 3 or the bottom surface of the fourth sheet 4.
A photographic cover film insertion frame 9 is formed in a half-opened state at a position corresponding to the photographic cover film insertion position of the sheet 4.

Next, after accurately overlapping and laminating the sheets No. 1.2.3.4, peel off the photo inclusion frame 7 and photo cover film insertion frame 9, cut out a die to a predetermined size, and form the card body lO. Manufacture.

In this case, since the mold release agent 6.8 is applied to the upper surface of the second sheet 2, the lower surface of the third sheet, the upper surface of the third sheet 3, or the lower surface of the fourth sheet 4, the photograph enclosure frame 7 and the photograph The cover film insertion frame 9 can be peeled off cleanly.

On the other hand, the photo 11 is die-cut to match the photo inclusion frame 7, the cover film sheet 12 is die-cut to fit the photo cover film insertion frame 9, and the card body 10 is die-cut as described above. A photograph 11 is enclosed in a photograph enclosing frame 7, a cover film sheet 12 is inserted into a photograph cover film insertion frame 9 from above, and laminated with adhesive or hot press.

In addition, if the user wants to include Photo 11,
A die-cut version of the cover film 12 may be provided to the user in advance, and the user may enclose a die-cut photo based on this.

In this embodiment, an example in which a card design is applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the second sheet 2 has been described.

When the third sheet 3 is made of an opaque material such as a plastic sheet, a card design such as a single picture may be applied to the bottom surface of the second sheet 2 and the top surface of the third sheet 3. In summary, according to the present invention, photo cards can be manufactured more easily than the conventional method of enclosing multiple photos at the same time in their original state during card manufacturing. Since it can be done at any time, the safety of the photo card can be improved and the manufacturing time and process can proceed smoothly.
