Abstract
Provided are transaction cards with a reduced weight core. In some approaches, a transaction card may include a body having a first outer layer opposite a second outer layer, and a corrugated core between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, wherein the corrugated core comprises a plurality of alternating peaks and valleys coupled to the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The transaction card may further include an identification chip positioned through the first outer layer, wherein the identification chip is directly coupled to the corrugated core.

A transaction card, comprising:
- a body comprising a first outer layer opposite a second outer layer;
- and
- a corrugated core between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, wherein the corrugated core comprises a plurality of alternating peaks and valleys directly coupled to the first outer layer and to the second outer layer;
- and
- an identification chip positioned in an opening of the first outer layer, wherein the identification chip is directly coupled to the corrugated core, and wherein a first dimension of one or more peaks in a subsection of the corrugated core directly coupled with the identification chip is different from a second dimension of one or more peaks in a remainder of the corrugated core.
A contactless transaction card, comprising:
- a body comprising a first outer layer opposite a second outer layer;
- a corrugated core between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, wherein the corrugated core comprises a plurality of alternating peaks and valleys, wherein two or more peaks of the plurality of alternating peaks and valleys are directly coupled to the first outer layer, and wherein two or more valleys of the plurality of alternating peaks and valleys are directly coupled to the second outer layer, and wherein a first shape of a first set of one or more peaks in a predetermined area of the corrugated core is different from a second shape of a second set of one or more peaks in a remainder of the corrugated core;
- and
- an identification chip positioned in a recess of the first outer layer, wherein the identification chip is coupled to the corrugated core in the predetermined area with the first set of one or more peaks with the first shape.
A transaction card, comprising:
- a body comprising a first outer layer opposite a second outer layer;
- and
- a corrugated core between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, wherein the corrugated core comprises a plurality of alternating peaks and valleys directly coupled to the first outer layer and to the second outer layer;
- and
- an identification chip positioned in an opening of the first outer layer, wherein the identification chip is directly coupled to the corrugated core, and wherein a first dimension of one or more valleys in a subsection of the corrugated core directly coupled with the identification chip is different from a second dimension of one or more valleys in a remainder of the corrugated core.
