Definitions

  • This invention relates to the manufacture of a multilayer card body.
  • the invention relates to the manufacture of card bodies for portable data carriers in the credit card or chip card format.
  • the invention relates to a card body, manufactured according to the method.
  • the invention relates to a separating tool for separating card bodies from a multilayer laminated sheet.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a card body.
  • Card-shaped portable data carriers in the credit card format are widespread. They are used in particular as payment cards or identification cards or, in smaller formats, as authentication cards or memory cards. Most of the cards are equipped with a magnetic strip and/or a microprocessor as well as a data interface for reading devices which enable data-processing tasks to be carried out with the help of the card.
  • the cards are thus constructed from a plurality of layers which are interconnected by lamination.
  • the layers typically consist of polymers. Commonly used polymers are in particular PVC, polycarbonate or polymers based on polyester. It is also known to manufacture cards from paper.
  • the cards After laminating a number of at least two superposed layers into a laminated sheet, the cards are cut, milled or punched out in a punching process.
  • the cards produced in this way have relatively weak mechanical properties as the side surface of the cards is frequently pre-damaged by the punching process.
  • delamination of the layers starts in the corners of the cards. That is why commonly, after punching the cards out of the laminated sheet, a delamination test like a peel strength test is carried out to determine if the layers at the side surface are pre-damaged or not. After determining a pre-damage, the none laminated card material has to return to the beginning of the manufacturing process and an adhesive is used for sealing the card.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved method for manufacturing a card having good mechanical properties and preferably offering an increased lifespan and durability of the card. Further, it is to provide a corresponding card.
  • a cover layer of polymers preferably of PVC, is applied to at least one outer side of the card body structure, and such cover layer or layers may be sealed together with the afore-mentioned first and second layers.
  • an adhesive in particular an adhesive lacquer, is applied to at least one side of at least one of the first and second layers for the step of lamination.
  • a graphical pattern is disposed to at least one side of at least one of the first and second layers so that the graphical pattern points outwardly and thus faces away from the first layer and second layer.
  • at least one of a third layer and fourth layer are disposed on at least one of the first layer and second layer. The third layer and fourth layer may form cover layers of the multilayer card body.
  • the card body when sealing the side surface of the card body, is sealed from the side surface side such that delaminated layers at the side surface are bonded together.
  • the layers of the multilayer card body are fixed together alongside the sealed side surface of the card body.
  • the side surface side of the card body is sealed circumferentially.
  • the side surface is sealed by using mechanical or laser engrailed edges or micro-structuring.
  • a multilayer card body manufactured by the method as mentioned above is provided.
  • Such multilayer card body has improved mechanical properties and offers an increased lifespan and durability as compared to state of the art card bodies.
  • a card body is manufactured for a portable data carrier in the form of a chip card with conventional outer dimensions according to ISO standard 7810.
  • the method can also be used in the same manner for manufacturing portable data carriers with other dimensions.
  • they can be manufactured as portable data carriers in the SIM-card format or portable data carriers serving, e.g. together with a housing, as a USB stick.
  • the method is illustrated as a flowchart in Fig. 1 . It commences with a step 100 by making available two layers 2, 4 e.g. of thin paper or of plastic material. Expediently, the layers are provided in sheet form or as a web. Later the two layers 2, 4 form the structure of a multilayer card body 1 for a data carrier to be manufactured, as is represented in the following Fig. 2 to Fig. 7 .
  • two layers 2, 4 e.g. of thin paper or of plastic material.
  • the layers are provided in sheet form or as a web.
  • the two layers 2, 4 form the structure of a multilayer card body 1 for a data carrier to be manufactured, as is represented in the following Fig. 2 to Fig. 7 .
  • a graphical pattern 5, 6 is respectively applied to at least one side of the layers 2, 4 e.g. by a screen printing or offset printing or by means of digital printing.
  • the graphical pattern 5, 6 may comprise flat areas, structures and/ or alphanumeric characters.
  • the graphical patterns 5, 6 may be of different configuration.
  • the printing step may be executed with conventional printing parameters and printing inks as are used for printing chip cards and credit cards.
  • an adhesive 3 for supporting the subsequent lamination in step 300.
  • the adhesive 3 is preferably provided in the form of an adhesive lacquer.
  • the application of the adhesive 3 may be effected e.g. by screen printing. Where the layers 2, 4 are of thermoplastic material and lamination occurs under the influence of heat, the adhesive may be omitted.
  • the layers 7, 8 preferably consist of a common polymer, e.g. PVC or PETG. Expediently, the layers 7, 8 are transparent or semi-transparent.
  • the layers 7, 8 can be provided as foils which will be laminated with the other layers 2, 4. Alternatively, they can also be applied in the form of a lacquer layer, e.g. by a suitable printing method. If the finished data carrier is to possess a magnetic strip, one of the layers 7, 8 may expediently be equipped with the magnetic strip.
  • a step 200 all layers, namely the layers 2, 4 and the layers 7, 8, are brought together.
  • the layers 7, 8 are disposed as cover layers to the first layer 2 and second layer 4 so that the layers 2 and 4 are lying between the cover layers 7, 8.
  • the layers 2, 4 and the cover layers 7, 8 are disposed one above the other in a sandwich arrangement.
  • the portable data carrier to be manufactured is a chip card
  • a cavity may be provided in the card body 1 for inserting a chip module therein.
  • the layers 2, 4, 7, 8 are laminated into a laminated sheet in the following step 300.
  • Lamination is done by conventional laminating methods for manufacturing chip cards or credit cards.
  • a planar, multilayer laminated sheet which has two layers 2, 4 bearing a graphical pattern 5, 6 on their respective outer sides.
  • the two layers 2, 4 are covered on both sides with a transparent or translucent cover layer 7, 8.
  • the upper surfaces 12, 13 of the laminated sheet correspond to the final upper surfaces 12, 13 of the finished multilayer card body 1.
  • a card body 1 having the final outer contour of the multilayer card body 1 is separated from the planar laminated sheet.
  • the card body 1 is expediently done by punching the card out by using a separating tool, but can also be done by cutting or milling.
  • step 500 the side surface 10 of the card body 1 is sealed either during the separating step 400 or as a step following the separating step 400, wherein no test for determining delamination of the layers at the side surface 10 is performed prior to the sealing step 500.
  • the outer surface may be finished.
  • hot-stamped elements can be applied to the card body 1 by a conventional hot-stamping method.
  • the card body 1 present thereafter can finally be personalised in a step 700. This may be done for example by applying personal data in a thermal transfer process and/or by notching; other personalisation methods known per se can likewise be used.
  • Each card body 1 according to Fig. 2 to Fig 7 comprises two polymer layers 2, 4. An adhesive 3 is applied between the two layers 2, 4. Graphical patterns 5, 6 are arranged on an outer side of each of the two layers 2, 4. Over the graphical patterns 5, 6, there is respectively applied a transparent cover layer 7,8 on both sides. The side surface side 10 of the card body 1 is sealed circumferentially.
  • Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show respective cross sections through a multilayer card body 1, wherein the side surface 10 is sealed during the separating step 400.
  • Fig. 4 to Fig. 7 show respective cross sections through a multilayer card body 1 manufactured according to a method, wherein the side surface 10 is sealed in a step following the separating step 400, wherein no test for determining delamination of the layers at the side surface 10 is performed prior to the sealing so that the step of sealing directly follows the step of separation. Thus, no further step lies between the step 400 and step 500.
  • a test i.e. a peel strength test, is not necessary to determine if the side surface 10 is pre-damaged or not, since the side surface 10 of any card body 1 is sealed.
  • the side surface 10 is sealed by generating heat in the side surface 10 by means of a separating tool 20 as shown in Fig. 8 .
  • the separating tool 20 is adapted to generate heat so that as a consequence of the heat development the card body 1 is sealed from the side surface 10 side such that delaminated layers at the side surface 10 are bonded together.
