An embossable identification or credit card has been made by laminating the photographic emulsion layer of a transparent photographic film to a rigid substrate using an adhesive based on a latex of poly(vinyl acetate) copolymerized with an alkyl ester of an unsaturated carboxylic acid to which gelatin, gelatin plasticizer and an attach solvent for the substrate are added. The migration of the plasticizer from the adhesive into the emulsion during and subsequent to lamination causes an increased hardening and/or plasticizing of the emulsion and improves cohesive bonding within the emulsion, and consequently the overall toughness, durability and quality of the identification card produced.
