Abstract: A card holder jacket holds an identification card that has raised indicia. The card holder jacket has an indicia portion on which raised indicia are formed for imprinting at the same time that an imprint is made of the indicia on the card. The card holder jacket extends beyond the edges of the card and have dome shaped slit forms that engage three edges of the card. A raised lip and raised edge at the indicia portion engage the fourth edge of the card. The card holder jacket has openings that are placed over a universal card holder in the imprinter apparatus, and stabilizer flaps that extend downward to engage the outer side of the universal card holder.

Abstract: An improved card holder or jacket of the kind adapted for supporting a hospital patient identification card on a printer anvil. The holder comprises a card supporting base panel having along one edge an upstanding flange for guiding the card against sliding displacement from the panel. The panel also has along said one edge a card hold-down and protector for said edge and located in spaced clearance protective adjacent relation to the guide flange. At least the base panel is made of ferromagnetic material for cooperation with magnetic hold-down such as a magnetic strip on the printer anvil.
