System and method for manufacturing a punch-out RFID transaction device

A method for providing a radio frequency identification (RFID) transaction device, comprising:

• preparing a sheet of a plurality of RFID transaction device combinations, wherein each transaction device combination includes a transaction device transporter including a transaction device border defined by the transporter outside perimeter, and a RFID module contained within the transaction device transporter, the RFID module being operable to conduct a RFID transaction using RFID transmission;
• and
• pressing a plurality of distinct RFID module outlines into the sheet, wherein each RFID module outline is pressed so as to lie substantially completely within a transaction device transporter outside perimeter, said pressing of the transaction device outlines being done with sufficient pressure to perforate substantially through the transporter so that the RFID module and the transporter may remain in physical communication, the pressed RFID module outline enabling removal of the RFID module from the transporter, the RFID module being configured to complete a RFID transaction independently of the transporter.
