IDENTIFICATION CARDS WITH A COLOUR-COVERED MAGNETIC TRACK, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEM

摘要

In order to simplify the production of an identification card having a colored magnetic track, it is proposed that the magnetic track located on the laminating or transfer band be masked by a white layer of color. By applying the white masked magnetic track to a white colored card layer or to a transparent layer to be underlaid with a white colored layer, one produces a completely user-neutral semifinished product. This iniformly designed semifinished product can then be provided on one or both sides with the particular printed pattern desired as one chooses. the design being selected without any separate consideration of the stripe area.
