ABSTRACT:
A coupon manufacturing machine assembly (10) for producing a two-sided coupon card (78). The coupon card (78) is fabricated from a continuous sheet of stock (26) wherein the sheet of stock (26) has an adhesive layer (30) and a release film (32) applied to a bottom surface (34). A printing station (12) prints indicia on a top surface (36) of the continuous sheet of stock (26) in two parallel rows. The two parallel rows define a first strip (38) and a second strip (40) of the stock (26). A laminating device (14) applies a clear laminate (46) to the top surface (36) of the stock (26) for viewing the indicia. A cutting device (16) separates the continuous sheet of stock (26) into the first strip (38) and the second strip (40) and an inverting device (18) rotates the second strip (40) 180.degree. relative to the first strip (38). More specifically, the second strip (40) passes through a first turn bar (52), a spacing roller (58), and then through a second turn bar (54) to effectuate the 180.degree. rotation. A stripping device (20) removes the release film (32) from the first strip (38) to expose the adhesive layer (30). The adhesive layer (30) of the first strip (38) is moved into a bonded relationship with the release film (32) of the second strip (40). Specifically, a coupling device (22) mates and adheres the adhesive layer (30) of the first strip (38) with the release film (32) of the second strip (40) to form a series of two-sided coupon cards (78) with the indicia printed on both sides thereof.
