Method for producing a card-type data carrier, and data carrier produced according to this method
For producing a card-type data carrier, an electronic module is inserted into a cutout of a semifinished product having at least one film. The cutout is produced such that an interspace remains between the periphery of the module and the cutout after the module has been inserted into the cutout. After the module has been inserted into the cutout, the at least one film is locally heated and densified around the module such that the at least one film closes the interspace. The film is preferably heated by means of a stamp, in particular of a sonotrode.
1. Method for producing a card-type data carrier using a semifinished product having at least one film which is produced from plastic and which has a cutout and an electronic module arranged in said cutout, the cutout being produced such that an interspace remains between the periphery of the module and the cutout after the module has been inserted into the cutout, wherein after the module has been inserted into the cutout, the at least one film is locally heated and densified around the module, such that the at least one film closes the interspace,
wherein the module is inserted in at least two films having a respective cutout for the module.
2. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one film is heated by means of a stamp.
3. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one film is heated by means of ultrasound.
4. Method according to claim 1 , wherein after the module has been inserted, at least one further film is positioned on the at least one film.
5. Card-type data carrier having a card body and a module implanted into the card body, produced according to claim 1 , wherein the card body is densified in the interior around the module.
6. Card-type data carrier according to claim 5 , wherein the module is inserted in two films connected to one another.
7. Card-type data carrier according to claim 5 , wherein the card-type data carrier is multilayered, and in that the module is covered by at least one film.
8. Method according to claim 1 , wherein after the module has been inserted, two further films are positioned on the at least one film.
9. Card-type data carrier having a card body and a module implanted into the card body, produced according to a method for producing a card-type data carrier using a semifinished product having at least one film which is produced from plastic and which has a cutout and an electronic module arranged in said cutout, the cutout being produced such that an interspace remains between the periphery of the module and the cutout after the module has been inserted into the cutout, wherein after the module has been inserted into the cutout, the at least one film is locally heated and densified around the module, such that the at least one film closes the interspace,
wherein the card body is densified in the interior around the module,
wherein the module is inserted in two films connected to one another.
10. Card-type data carrier according to claim 9 , wherein the card-type data carrier is multilayered, and in that the module is covered by at least one film.
11. Method for producing a card-type data carrier using a semifinished product having at least one film which is produced from plastic and which has a cutout and an electronic module arranged in said cutout, the cutout being produced such that an interspace remains between the periphery of the module and the cutout after the module has been inserted into the cutout, wherein after the module has been inserted into the cutout, the at least one film is locally heated and densified around the module, such that the at least one film closes the interspace,
wherein after the module has been inserted, two further films are positioned on the at least one film.
12. Method according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one film is heated by means of a stamp.
13. Method according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one film is heated by means of ultrasound.
14. Method according to claim 11 , wherein after the module has been inserted, at least one further film is positioned on the at least one film.
