e-hinged ID card

 
 
iLam™ e-hinged card

The hinged card is a novel concept from Brite iD. It is designed for ID, travel and multi-application cards where more information is required than can be printed on a standard ID1 card. The card is available in any size from ID1 up to ID3. It can be supplied with or without a contactless chip and is ideal as a highly durable alternative to paper based folded cards.

The construction of the card is:

  • Inner layer of inkjet printable polyester
  • Antenna screen printed to the polyester layer
  • Contactless chip module
  • Elastomer core, which surrounds the contactless module to provide maximum protection to the chip.
  • Outer layer of inkjet or litho printable polyester

Features:

  • Double the print area compared to standard ID1 cards for personal information, instructions for use or promotional messages
  • Excellent protection against damage of the chip or antenna in daily use
  • As no adhesive is used, it is not possible to separate the outside layers from the core without damage. Cutting through the polyester layer to access the chip will destroy the antenna
  • Anti-skimming device to prevent reading of the chip when closed
  • Variable information can be inkjet printed (e.g. in a visa printer) or hand infilled
  • Highly durable compared to paper based folded cards and ideal for use in hot or humid environments
  • Variable information can be protected against alteration by holographic overlay
