    Abstract: A transaction card is described. The transaction card includes a non-plastic layer, one or more embedded electronics, a fill layer, and one or more additional layers. The non-plastic layer has first and second faces and a thickness therebetween, and at least a first opening in the first face. The one or more embedded electronic components are disposed in or adjacent the first opening. The fill layer is in contact with the embedded electronic components, disposed in portions of the first opening not occupied by the embedded electronics. The one or more additional layers are disposed over the fill layer

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating a selected region of a metal layer, used to form a metal card, by annealing the selected metal region so the selected region becomes soft and ductile, while the rest of the metal layer remains stiff. The softened, ductile, selected metal region can be embossed with reduced power and with reduced wear and tear on the embossing equipment. Alternatively, the annealed metal layer can undergo additional processing steps to form an assembly which can then be embossed. The method may include the use of a fixture for holding the metal layer, with the fixture having a window region for enabling heat to be applied to soften the region of the metal layer within the window region. The fixture includes apparatus for cooling the portion of the metal layer outside of the window region and for preventing the temperature of the metal layer outside the window region from rising above predetermined limits.

    Abstract: Documents embodying the invention include a sandwich-like structure comprised of a core layer on which information may be printed using inks, a buffer layer bonded to each surface of the core layer for protecting the printed information and a laser reactive layer on, or in, which information can be written with a laser, bonded to each one of the buffer layers. The core layer may be formed of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PC (poly carbonate) material or any other suitable material on which information can be printed. The buffer layer may be formed of amorphous polyester material (e.g., PETG) or any other suitable material which can readily bond to the core layer and the laser reactive layer. The laser reactive layer may be polycarbonate (PC) or may be any other suitable plastic material (e.g., PVC, PET, PC, etc.) which includes a chemical which can react with a laser to produce desirable markings.
