Abstract: A card (10) and a method of manufacturing handleable cards includes providing front and back sheets (44, 46) of thin, flexible, opaque material, depositing images on such sheets by electrophotographic process to affix toner particles (14, 32) on the sheet surfaces, adding sheets (16, 24) carrying thermal adhesive (18, 22) and a thickening sheet (20), to provide a core, aligning the images front and back on the sheets, laminating the sheets and core under heat and pressure to bond the sheets into an integral structure and then cutting the sheets to define individual cards.
