In the manufacture of plastic cards, a number of operations are required to ensure the originality and protection of the product. The use of advanced technologies in the printing house ensures a high level of security.
Methods for protecting plastic cards
The main means of protecting personal cards are personalization and encryption. Several types are used, with the help of which it is possible to apply all the necessary information to the medium. Among them:
A printed number is the main type of personalization of plastic cards. He gives each card a unique number.
Barcode. Allows you to encode information in a certain amount. There are many types and standards of barcodes. They are applied directly to plastic sheets or to ready-made cards by means of thermo-sublimation personalization.
Embossing. This type is embossed on the surface of the data card in the form of symbols. To improve perception, embossed symbols are painted in a color that stands out significantly from the general background.
Magnetic stripe. The most common way to encrypt personal data. Depending on the type of magnetic stripe, the resistance to the magnetic field differs. Cards with HiCo stripes are more reliable.
Signature strip. It is intended for a sample signature of the owner. The card is applied from foil or other materials with similar properties.
Multilevel personalization of plastic cards
Hologram. It is realized in the form of a sticker of a small size. The most popular type is the Benton hologram, which is also called the rainbow hologram. They have a characteristic transfusion with all the colors of the rainbow, depending on the change in the viewing angle. The advantage of this type of personalization is the ease of manufacture.
Modern printers like Rhombus-Print use multilevel personalization. Its essence lies in applying several fields at once for placing data. This approach can significantly improve security.
