Abstract
In some implementations, a transaction card may include a card body, a magnetic stripe connected to the card body at a magnetic stripe region of the card body, and a tactile element at the magnetic stripe region of the card body.
Claims20
A transaction card, comprising:
- a card body;
- a magnetic stripe connected to an outermost surface the card body;
- and
- a plurality of tactile elements overlaid directly on an outermost surface of the magnetic stripe and raised relative to the outermost surface of the card body and the outermost surface of the magnetic stripe,
- wherein the plurality of tactile elements comprise dual-state ink that is ultraviolet light-curable,
- wherein the plurality of tactile elements are non-alphanumeric, and
- wherein a design configuration of the plurality of tactile elements indicates an attribute of the transaction card.

A transaction card, comprising:
- a card body;
- a magnetic stripe connected to an outermost surface of the card body at a magnetic stripe region of the card body;
- and
- a tactile element in direct contact with an outermost surface of the magnetic stripe and raised relative to the outermost surface of the card body and the outermost surface of the magnetic stripe,
- wherein the tactile element comprises dual-state ink that is ultraviolet light-curable.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- obtaining information indicating a design configuration for a plurality of tactile elements to be applied at a magnetic stripe region of a card body of a transaction card;
- and
- applying the plurality of tactile elements directly on an outermost surface of a magnetic stripe at the magnetic stripe region of the card body in accordance with the design configuration,
- wherein applying the plurality of tactile elements comprises:
- depositing dual-state ink that is ultraviolet light-curable on the magnetic stripe, and
- exposing the dual-state ink to ultraviolet light, and
- wherein the plurality of tactile elements project from an outermost surface of the transaction card and the outermost surface of the magnetic stripe based on applying the plurality of tactile elements directly on the outermost surface of the magnetic stripe.
