Abstract: A card manufacturing method includes feeding a reference sheet serving as a reference for alignment; feeding a first continuous sheet having a plurality of patterns repeatedly printed as one cycle thereon; producing a laminated sheet by laminating the first continuous sheet on the reference sheet; successively detecting a position of each one of the repeatedly printed patterns by detection means; adjusting such that the patterns are at predetermined positions with respect to the reference sheet by controlling a feeding speed of the first continuous sheet according to a detection result on the positions of the patterns; and producing a card by cutting the laminated sheet for each of the patterns, the patterns being printed so that plural patterns are repeatedly printed as one cycle, the adjustment being performed for each cycle made up of the plurality of patterns.
