| All existing personalisation
technologies are mastered by ZETES CardS, including the most
advanced techniques for security. |
 Embossing:
data, e.g. name, account number, expiration date, is written
in relief in colour (usually silver, gold or black) on the
card. |
 Infill:
data is printed on the card as it was 'stamped' into the card.
|
| |
|
 Laser
engraving: text is burned into the card by a laser
head, under laminate layer, for optimal durability and security |
 Inkjet
printing: text is printed on the card using inkjet
heads. |
| |
|
 Dye
sublimation: a photograph of the cardholder or any
other coloured photograph can be printed on the card. |
 Thermoprinting:
a monochrome text or image is put on the card with thermoprint
technology, which is often used to put a bar-code or a logo
on the card. |
| |
|
 UV
printing: a motif is put onto a middle layer of the
plastic card; this motif can only be seen under UV light. |
 Varnishing:
a coloured layout is printed on the total surface of the card. |
| |
|
 Hot
stamping: hologram can be put on the card. This hologram
cannot be forged with printing or photocopying techniques. |
 Tampon
printing: ink is transferred onto the card. This
technique is used to make scratch-cards. |
| |
|
 Magnetic
stripe initialisation: coded data is entered on the
magnetic stripe. The stripe is fully integrated in the plastic
and cannot be removed. |
Micro-letters
: printing of microscopic characters
|
| |
|
 Alphagram
: transparent holographic element,
with light reflection and changing image
|
 Optical
Variable Ink : printing with changing colours, depending
on card orientation |
| |
 Rainbow
printing and Guilloche Rainbow printing
: security printing, making it almost impossible to copy
using traditional techniques
Guilloche : printing of thin lines to
prevent from copying (like with bank notes)
|
| |
|
 Chip
encoding: data is written inside the chip’s
memory of the smart card. |
