摘要

Portable objects are produced continuously or in a line by depositing security and/or decorative elements onto an extruded sheet and then cutting the sheet to the shape of the object. The extruded sheet may be shaped before the elements are deposited. The security elements may be a microchip, etc. with or without contacts and are inserted continuously into the sheet by mechanical pressure without pre-forming a cavity. The extrusion temperature activates adhesive on the security element or forms a direct mechanical bond with the element. The security element can also be a magnetic strip. The sheet can be decorated in a variety of known ways.
