  1. Production of Laminated Cards for High-End Applications ICMA – Expo 2008 Orlando, 06th – 09th April Presented by: Thies Janczek

  2. Content • Introduction • Physical and Data Security • Card Production Considerations • Markets and Application • Summary ICMA Expo, Orlando

  3. Introduction • ID cards in ID-1 format are around for decades • Increasing employment of Chip Cards for ID card issuer (contact and contactless) • Contactless technologies either pure or DIC • Specifications • ICAO 9303 (ISO/IEC 7501) for Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD) • ECC (European Citizen Card) CEN/TS 15480 • European Driver license ICMA Expo, Orlando

  4. How What Who First line inspection everybody Without tools Guilloch, Hologram, Optical Variable Ink, Changeable Laser Image Simple tools, e.g. UV Lamp Educated personel, Police, Immigration Second line inspection UV-VIS Lumineszens, IR-VIS Lumineszens Machine readable features Police laboratories Forensic Analysis e.g. Spectral Analysis IR-IR Lumineszens, Reactive agents Third line inspection IntroductionSecurity Categories Overview ICMA Expo, Orlando

  5. Physical and Data Security • Data structure defined in ICAO 9303 for travel documents • Crypto controller employed with a high level of data security and chip hardware security • Physical aspects of a security printed product to be fullfilled (mainly 1st and 2nd line inspection) ICMA Expo, Orlando

  6. Physical FeaturesGuilloche printing • Correct Design: • Continuous fine lines • Spot colour (difficult to copy) • Rainbow printing Magnification ICMA Expo, Orlando

  7. Physical FeaturesMikro printing ICMA Expo, Orlando

  8. Physical FeaturesOptical Variable Ink (OVI) • Flakes of di-electric layers (Fabry-Perot)in a matrix of silk screen ink „transprent“ Screen ink 5 nm Cr MgF2 30 nm Al MgF2 5 nm Cr Thickness of MgF2 layer Defines color change (gold-green; green-magenta; green-black etc.) ICMA Expo, Orlando

  9. PC (PVC) transparent PC (PVC) transparent Offset or Screen Offset or Screen PC (PVC) white or paper Laser engraving tactile Laser engraving Non tactile Physical FeaturesLaser Engraving Passport Driving license ID card Car documents Laser ICMA Expo, Orlando

  10. Physical FeaturesRelief imprint ICMA Expo, Orlando

  11. Rainbow Printing with UV-colors Fluorescent color (various) Fluorescent Guilloch Fluorescent filaments Physical Features - unvisible Photolumineszent ICMA Expo, Orlando

  12. Construction generals Laminated Card • Multilayer Construction preferred w/o adhesive • Opaque inner layer • Transparent overlay layer • Functional layer (basically overlay) • Limitation OV thickness through module dimensions • Contactless inlays • Interlayer printing (water mark) • Fitting front/reverse side ICMA Expo, Orlando

  13. Card Production Considerations • Pre-Press • Printing • Collation • Lamination • Punching • Milling and Embedding • Personalization ICMA Expo, Orlando

  14. Card Production ConsiderationsPre-Press • Artwork generation is not allowed on commercial available software • Special software ( > 40k Euro) to be employed • Experience personal • No process colours • Various visible and unvisible inks • high securtiy area and system (server) ICMA Expo, Orlando

  15. Card Production ConsiderationsPrinting • Multiple custom colours in offset • visible and unvisible • Screen printing for OVI • Tight register due to fine line artwork • Rainbow printing (visible and unvisible) • sheet orientation (repeat) • Print machine limitations • Temperature stable colours to be used ICMA Expo, Orlando

  16. Card Production ConsiderationsCollation • Hologram under Overlay possible • Holographic stripe • Front/Reverse side registration • Contactless inlay (antenna)? • > 6 layer construction possible • manual collation in most cases • material handling ICMA Expo, Orlando

  17. Card Production ConsiderationsLamination • Longer lamination cycles with PC w/o adhesive layers • capacity decrease • High temperatures sensitivity • Hologram material • printing colours • colour shift • bleeding ICMA Expo, Orlando

  18. Positioning Pins MLI/CLI Braille Lettering Card Production ConsiderationsLamination plates • Structured lamination plates • expensive structuring process • set per project • registration to printed artwork • special surface treatment • anti adhesion • hardening • Just a few supplier with specialised technologies ICMA Expo, Orlando

  19. Card Production ConsiderationsPunching • Standard registration w/ print marks • White border (?) • Tool has to be fit to the material • PC more difficult and higher wear of tools • Dimensions • Edges and burrs • Handling scratches • Positioning precision (w/ inlays) • more precise tooling and set up for multi material constructions ICMA Expo, Orlando

  20. Card Production ConsiderationsMilling and Embedding • Milling parameter to be adjusted to the material combination • Equipment limitations for some DIC technologies • Module adhesive to be fitted to core material ICMA Expo, Orlando

  21. Card Production ConsiderationsPersonalization • Laser engraving is the most employed gray scale system • tactile and non-tactile • MLI/CLI posibilites to be integrated • new materials developed with receptor coatings for D2T2 and Re-transfer (colour) • New technology developed for continuous ink jet printing (colour) • Data handling and processing with special security (e.g. HSM) ICMA Expo, Orlando

  22. Markets and Applications • Governmental projects demand physical security features • ID-card, Driving license, Citizen Card, Passport (data page) • Worldwide necessity for Machine Readable Travel Documents • Long term acquisition for long term contracts • Commercial projects are more focussed on IT technology • Single Card Digital printed ICMA Expo, Orlando

  23. Tactile Laser Engraving Holografic thread with demetallised Mikrotext Mikrotext Paper field Throughlight register Changeable Laser Image Optical Variable Ink ExampleGerman driving license ICMA Expo, Orlando

  25. Summary • Dedicated Know How is needed • Artwork generation • Card construction and features • Personalisation • Special Equipment / Modifications • Pre-Press, Collation, Lamination, Punching, Personalization • Marketing and Sales to be prepared for long term aquisition ICMA Expo, Orlando
