A card manufacturing machine assembly for producing a coupon card fabricated from a continuous sheet of stock. The machine assembly has a support frame for supporting the continuous sheet of stock as the sheet of stock moves through the machine assembly. A driving mechanism is mounted to the support frame and has driving gears for transferring the sheet of stock through the machine assembly at a predetermined speed. A printing station prints indicia on the continuous sheet of stock in two parallel rows. A cutting device separates the continuous sheet of stock into two strips. An inverting device rotates one of the strips 180° relative to the other strip. A stripping device removes a release liner from one of the strips to expose an adhesive layer. A pair of coupling rollers are mounted to the support frame and are in driving engagement with one of the driving gears to rotate the coupling rollers at a predetermined rotational speed. The coupling rollers move the adhesive layer of one strip into a bonded relationship with the release liner of the other strip to mate the strips and form a continuous series of two-sided coupon cards. A pair of forming rollers are mounted to the support frame and are in driving engagement with one of the driving gears to rotate the forming rollers at a faster speed of rotation than the predetermined rotational speed. The forming rollers engage the series of two- sided coupon cards and remove any exterior material from the strips to form individual coupon cards.
