Abstract: In order to allow a thin portable token of the Smart Card type to be flexible, yet protect the electronic components (2) within it, the token is manufactured from a resin material and includes high tensile foil inserts (7a, 7b) above and below the component, producing a double skinned effect to stiffen and strengthen the token in the region of the component. The components are mounted on a substrate (3), which also acts as a hinge between components to enable flexing of the token as a whole. Alternative comprise frames (15) encircling each component (2) or moulded resin members (11) encapsulating the components (2).
