Method for producing data carriers with embedded elements and device for carrying out this method

摘要

A press punch (11) with an end face (12) corresp. to the main face of a card body and a die (9) with a recess with base (13) corresp. to the back of the card are used to press a moulding material (15), pref. a plastic granulate or powder, e.g. PVC, ABS. The moulding material is heated to make it flowable and the punch is lowered into the die recess to press the material until it takes up the required dimensions. The moulding material is added in two stages, between which an electronic module (3) is inserted in the die. A magnetic strip and/or a hologram can be included as well.
