AN INLAY SHEET FOR A BOOK-LIKE ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENT

The present disclosure refers to an inlay sheet (5) configured to be used in a book-like identification document. The inlet sheet (5) may comprise a first hinge layer (21; 21') consisting of polycarbonate and a second hinge layer (22; 22') consisting of a flexible material different to polycarbonate, e.g. PET, polyurethane, fabric, mesh. The second sheet layer (22; 22') is attached to the first sheet layer (21; 21'). A first datapage layer (11) and a second datapage layer (12) are attached to the first hinge layer (21; 21') and the second hinge layer (22; 22'), respectively, such that the first and second hinge layers (21, 22; 21', 22') are positioned between the first and second datapage layers (11, 12) for forming a datapage section (10) having a datapage thickness (tdp). The first and second datapage layers (11, 12) form a common datapage inner front edge (24) and the first and second hinge layers (21, 22; 21 '22') extend beyond the common datapage inner front edge (24) such that a hinge section (20) is formed having a hinge thickness (th) smaller than the datapage thickness (tdp). Furthermore, the present disclosure refers to a method for manufacturing such an inlay sheet (5).
