The second flap (5) supports on the same recto side a second component formed by a film (8) whereof the surface contacting the support sheet is coated with an adhesive film (9) and the opposite surface bears personalizing indicia (10), and the first flap comprises a second folding line (3) substantially parallel to the first folding line.
B42D 15/10 - Cartes d'identité, cartes de crédit, cartes bancaires ou cartes analogues portant des informations (supports d'enregistrement, p.ex. cartes d'identité ou cartes de crédit, pour utilisation avec des machines et avec au moins une partie prévue pour supporter des marques numériques G06K 19/00)
A method for producing graphics on the so-called working surface (20) of an optical medium (2), which surface carries information (2000, 2001), including manufacturing said medium (200) from a clear material, selectively depositing a first reflective material (203) on said working surface in a area corresponding to said graphics, uniformly depositing a second reflective material (201), and depositing a protective coating (202). The first (203) and second (201) materials are of contrasting colours, thereby differentiating the areas coated with the first material from non-coated adjacent areas when the working surface (20) is exposed to a light source (la). The invention also relates to optical media (2), such as CDs or DVDs, obtained via said method.
