A card manufacturing device includes a web of laminate material, a first set of feed rollers, and a aligning roller. The first set of feed rollers is configured to feed the web along a laminate feed path. The feed rollers each include an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the laminate feed path. The aligning roller is configured to receive the web from the first set of feed rollers. The aligning roller includes a shaft having a skewed axis of rotation that is non-parallel to the axes of rotation of the first set of feed rollers, and a main roller that is supported on the shaft for rotation about the skewed axis. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the aligning roller includes a plurality of lugs that extend from the surface of the main roller to thereby form a paddlewheel.
