To enhance the durability and save on a manufacturing cost and further enable the use of PVC to be dispensed with by printing an appropriate image on a sheetlike base of a synthetic resin and forming a protecting layer on the printed image through applying a dry-curable coating agent.

A card 1 is structured of a first surface side sheet 2 and a back surface side sheet 3, thermally pressed into one piece. The first surface side sheet 2 and the second surface side sheet 3 are made of a polyethylene terephthalate resin and like a sheet half as thick as the standard of the card 1, and has a pattern, a character or the like printed as specified on one of the faces of the card 1 using an offset printing process or the like. An appropriate image for the first surface side of the card 1 is printed 4 on one of the faces of the first surface side sheet 2, and an appropriate image for the second surface side of the card 1 is printed on one of the faces of the second surface side sheet 3. Further on the printing faces 2a, 3a printed 4, a coating agent to be cured by drying is applied. The coating agent to be used is preferably an energy radiation-curable coating such as an ultraviolet-curable coating.
