Abstract
A method for producing a portable card-shaped data carrier with a high embossing. The method comprises the steps of supplying a planar circuit carrier, integrating the circuit carrier in a card-shaped data carrier body of the data carrier and high embossing the data carrier body. At least one surface area of the circuit carrier and at least one through opening is produced and the data carrier body is high embossed in an embossing area overlapping with the at least one surface area of the circuit carrier. In this fashion an easy high embossing of a corresponding data carrier is rendered possible.
Claims23
A method for producing a portable card-shaped data carrier comprising the steps:
- supplying a planar circuit carrier having at least one surface area for receiving a high embossing;
- integrating the circuit carrier in a card-shaped data carrier body having an embossing area, wherein the embossing area overlaps with the at least one surface area of the planar circuit carrier;
- forming at least one through opening in the at least one surface area of the planar circuit carrier;
- and
- high embossing the data carrier body in the embossing area of the data carrier body above the at least one through opening, wherein the at least one through opening in the circuit carrier facilitates deformation of the data carrier body and the circuit carrier in the embossing area.
A portable data carrier, comprising,
- a card-shaped data carrier body having an embossing area
- a planar circuit carrier integrated in the card-shaped data carrier body of the portable data carrier, said planar circuit carrier having at least one surface area comprising at least one through opening,;
- and
- at least one high embossing,
- wherein the embossing area overlaps with the at least one surface area of the integrated circuit carrier in such a way that the at least one high embossing is above the at least one through opening in the circuit carrier so that said at least one through opening is arranged to enhance deformation of the data carrier body and the circuit carrier in the embossing area.
A planar circuit carrier for producing a portable data carrier arranged to be integratable with a card-shaped data carrier body of the portable data carrier, comprising at least one surface area of the circuit carrier having at least one through opening which is arranged to enable a high embossing of the data carrier body and the circuit carrier.
