Abstract
A lamination system comprises; a film transfer means for transferring along a first transfer path a continuous film chosen from more than two kinds of films different in width, a cutting means provided along the first transfer path for cutting the film in a predetermined length, a card transfer means for transferring an ID card along a second transfer path that converges with the first transfer path at a predetermined point of conversion, a thermocompression bonding means for laminating the film cut on a surface of the ID card at the downstream of the point of conversion. The lamination system is provided with guide members for restricting the transverse movement of the film within a distance corresponding to the maximum width of the films, and alignment means for aligning the film along a desired side end of the first transfer path.
