Abstract: A laminated core stock sheet for use in a composite laminate assembly configured for being separated into plural individual cards is provided. The laminated core stock sheet includes a core substrate layer and an intermediate filmic layer coupled to the core substrate layer. The intermediate filmic layer includes plural conductive bodies spaced apart from each other that provide at least one of a security feature, a decorative feature, or other functional feature of the individual cards. The core substrate layer and the intermediate filmic layer are configured to be coupled with another laminated core stock sheet that may or may not include the intermediate filmic layer to form the composite laminate assembly configured for being separated into the individual cards.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a card assembly includes extruding a film of a core layer for the card assembly, co-extruding a film of a blocking layer for the card assembly, and bonding the film of the core layer and the film of the blocking layer. The card assembly can be separated from the film of the core layer and the film of the blocking layer that are bonded together. A card assembly includes a core layer having opposite first and second sides, and a blocking layer having opposite first and second surfaces. The second surface of the blocking layer can be bonded to the first side of the core layer such the first surface of the blocking layer is visible. The blocking layer can have a relatively thin thickness, such as no more than two mils (or another dimension), while preventing color of the core layer from being visible through the first surface of the blocking layer.
