e-passport cover

 
 
iLam™ e-passport cover

For chips located in the passport cover, we provide a complete product with this construction:

  • Special 150µ polyester suitable for gluing to the passport end paper
  • Antenna screen printed to the polyester layer
  • Contactless chip module
  • Elastomer core, which surrounds the contactless module to provide maximum protection to the chip.
  • Cover material

This construction provides a flexible and durable inlay, with excellent protection of the chip against damage. Any standard passport cover can be used. Best results are obtained with a thinner gauge material.

Advantages:

  • Better 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
  • The cover material can be 3D embossed in register on front and/or back of the passport to give additional security
  • No need for expensive modification of the passport line or loss of production due to passing the cover twice through the line
  • Less likelihood of damage to the chip during passport production compared to passing the inlay twice through the line
