Abstract

A plastic card, such as a radio frequency identification card, including at least one electronic element embedded therein and a hot lamination process for the manufacture of radio frequency identification cards and other plastic cards including a micro-chip embedded therein. The process results in a card having an overall thickness in the range of 0.028 inches to 0.032 inches with a surface suitable for receiving dye sublimation printing--the variation in card thickness across the surface is less than 0.0005 inches. A card manufactured in accordance with the present invention also complies with all industry standards and specifications. Also, the hot lamination process of the present invention results in an aesthetically pleasing card. The invention also relates to a plastic card formed in accordance with the hot lamination process of the present invention.
