摘要: Barcodes are provided that convey images to help consumers and/or to help identify information about the origin of an article. The images conveyed by the barcodes may be associated with a merchant, a department, an event, a season, a theme or a product, for example. The barcodes may be placed on any number of articles including purchaser receipts, gift receipts, marketing receipt coupons, paper coupons, electronic coupons, rewards cards, gift cards, registry printouts, and products/packaging, for example. Under some embodiments, the barcodes help consumers to associate articles with a particular merchant or department. Under other embodiments, the barcodes help consumers to distinguish purchaser receipts from gift receipts. In some embodiments, the barcodes are generated dynamically by altering font-based barcodes to convey the image.

摘要: A financial transaction card includes a substrate, an insert member, and a rim. The substrate is formed of a first material and defines a first major surface and an aperture though the substrate. The substrate further includes an account identifier linking the financial transaction card to at least one of a financial account and a financial record and is configured for use a payment toward a purchase. The insert member is formed of a second material differing from the first material. The insert member defines a perimeter edge. The rim extends around at least a portion of a perimeter edge of the insert member and is coupled with the first major surface of the substrate adjacent the aperture in a manner at least partially coupling the insert member to the substrate such that the aperture and the insert member align with one another. Other products and methods are also disclosed.
