  • Publication number: 20090121470
    Abstract: A wallet size bank card booklet is provided, and a method for forming the same, having a cover and a booklet insert. The cover has a width dimension ranging from about 4¾ inches to 5¼ inches and a height dimension ranging from about 3? inches to 3? inches. A transverse fold divides the cover into a front cover panel and a rear cover panel. The booklet insert in the form of a number of leaves has dimensions substantially the same as the dimensions of the cover, the leaves also having a transverse fold and forming pages. An opening is formed in the front cover panel. An adhesive layer is applied to the inner surface of the front cover panel and a transparent sheet is adhered to the inner surface of the front cover panel, the transparent sheet being larger than the opening, but shorter and narrower than the front panel, leaving an L-shaped marginal adhesive along two adjacent edges of the inner surface of the front panel.

  • Patent number: 6110551
    Abstract: A wallet size card book which has been adapted to hold a card having the dimensions of a conventional credit card, and is particularly designed to be carried in the credit card compartment of a wallet or similar size compartment holder. The use of an adhesive strip extending along the marginal edges between a first and second leaf in the card book makes it possible to create a properly formed pocket for holding and protecting the card. The preferred adhesives for the strip include latexes of polyvinyl ethylene, polyvinyl acetate, other acrylics, and copolymers thereof. The preferred adhesive is a polyvinyl acetate copolymer latex having a glass transition temperature (Tg) approximately room temperature or below.
