Abstract
A stored value card and carrier system, including an optional carrier, an inactive stored value card attached to the carrier, and a label, in which the label is removably adhered to at least a portion of the stored value card and at least a portion of the carrier, and the label is capable of indicating removal from the stored value card and the carrier or other tampering.
Claims18
A stored value card and carrier system, the system comprising:
- a carrier;
- a stored value card attached to the carrier;
- and
- a label adhered to at least one of a portion of the stored value card, a portion of the carrier, and/or an insert contained within the carrier, wherein the label includes a foil layer with etched text, etched graphics, or both formed thereon, and an adhesive layer,
- wherein at least partial removal of the label at least partially distorts the etched text, etched graphics, or both to optically indicate tampering with the system.

A tamper evident label comprising:
- a tamper indicating composite layer capable of indicating tampering, wherein the composite layer includes a foil material etched with at least one of verbiage and graphics, and a layer of removable adhesive proximate the tamper indicating layer, wherein the foil material includes a holographic engraving layer coupled to a holographic metallization layer, and wherein the foil material produces an optical effect layer that becomes distorted when the tamper evident label is stretched.
A stored value card containing a tamper evident label comprising:
- a stored value card including data comprising at least one of a PIN, PAN, name, or other identifying information;
- and
- at least one tamper evident label adhered to at least one of a portion of the stored value card, the at least one tamper evident label capable of indicating tampering, wherein the label includes a foil layer with etched text, etched graphics, or both formed thereon, and
- wherein the label is configured such that at least partial removal of the label at least partially distorts the etched text and or graphics of the foil layer to optically indicate tampering with the stored value card.
