Manufacturing method for portable data carriers
A method for manufacturing a portable data carrier by means of a continuous manufacturing method, comprises the steps: providing at least one foil as a rolled good, unrolling at least one first foil, with at least a first foil being coated at least partly with an adhesive on at least one side, with at least the first foil being scored on at least one side along at least one creasing edge, with at least the first foil being folded up in precise fit along at least one creasing edge and bonded, with the foil being folded up in the direction of the side which is coated with adhesive, with the side coated with adhesive being arranged on the opposite side of the foil which has at least one scored creasing edge along which it is folded.
1. A method for manufacturing a portable data carrier by means of a continuous manufacturing method, the method comprising the steps:
providing a first foil as a rolled good,
unrolling the first foil,
coating the first foil at least partly with an adhesive on at least one side,
folding up and bonding the first foil in precise fit along the at least one creasing edge, such that first gaps provided in a first area of the first foil align with second gaps provided in a second area of the first foil,
wherein the first foil is folded up in the direction of the side which is coated with the adhesive,
wherein on the first foil at least a part of a security element or at least one security element is arranged on an arbitrary side of the first foil;
wherein the security element is embossed into at least one foil of the data carrier.
2. A data carrier which is manufactured according to and having the features of the data carrier in the method of the claim 1 .
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the side coated with adhesive is arranged on the opposite side of the foil which has at least one scored creasing edge along which it is folded.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the security element is embossed into at least the first foil.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the security element is arranged on at least an outer side of the data carrier.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the security element is arranged on at least an inner side of the data carrier.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method is a continuous production method such that a plurality of portable data carriers are produced without interruption.
8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising forming said first gaps in the first area of the first foil.
9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising forming said second gaps in the second area of the first foil.
10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising scoring the first foil on at least one side along at least one creasing edge.
11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising
performing a second scoring that includes scoring said first foil on at least a second side along a second creasing edge between the second area and a third area.
12. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising
performing a second folding and bonding that includes folding said first foil in precise fit along said second creasing edge such that gaps provided in the third area align with said first gaps in the first area of the first foil to form a three-play area wherein the first gaps and second gaps are superimposed such that a chip module can be inserted into an opening formed by each superimposed first gap and second gap.
13. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising
performing a second folding and bonding that includes folding said first foil in precise fit along a second creasing edge such that gaps provided in a third area align with said first gaps in the first area of the first foil to form a three-play area wherein the first gaps and second gaps are superimposed.
14. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising
inserting a chip module at least partially into each opening formed by the first gaps superimposed with the second gaps.
