Abstract: A card trunk system according to the present invention includes a card storage means for storing cards in a state where they are classified by type, a card retrieval means for retrieving and taking out cards from the card storage means in a number to be machined and in the order of machining, and a card discriminating means for determining whether or not the card retrieved by the card retrieval means is a correct card. In consequence, the cards to be machined can be automatically arranged.

Abstract: Type capable of being used for both printing and embossing consists of a heat-curable resin and is divided into three layers. The uppermost layer constituting a typeface portion employs a finely divided granular heat-curable resin and exhibits a high hardness and surface smoothness. The lowermost layer constituting an impact face portion employs a coarse granular heat-curable resin and exhibits low hardness and elasticity. An intermediate layer formed by mixing these two layers at the interface between them constitutes a joint portion exhibiting intermediate hardness.
