A plastic card carrier connecting a mini card is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first plastic substrate is connected to a second plastic substrate to define the carrier having edges that form a perimeter of a carrier. A plurality of slots extend through the first and second plastic substrates and interior of the perimeter of the carrier to define the mini card within the perimeter of the carrier. Further, tabs are provided between the slots to connect the mini card to the carrier. The tabs have weakened areas to allow the mini card to be disconnected from the carrier. In one embodiment, a transponder is provided in association with the mini card carrier, and the slots are provided at least partially around the transponder to define a contactless mini card.
