A card package production system () with interchangeable inserters (A,B) and carrier folders (A,B) to enable use of forms (A,B) of different types verifies the carriers () if they are properly produced and rejects them if they are not prior to the attachment to a carrier. The embossed characters and encoding read from the card are compared with the stored card data to verify accuracy and are compared to coding on the carrier form (A,B) to determine if there is a match. A code on the carrier is also compared to stored carrier data and to the cards provided for insertion and are rejected without cards if incorrectly prepared.

Automated card counter

A card package production system ( ) for producing card packages ( ) composed of printed paper carriers ( ) with matching cards ( ) attached to the carriers ( ) selectively outputs the card packages through a card package multi-directional distribution module ( ) having a carrier transport with a primary carrier transport path extending between a package inlet ( ) and a primary package outlet ( ) for transporting the card packages along the primary carrier transport path. A movable stacker gate assembly ( , FIG. ) mounted for movement between a stacking position (FIG. ). In the stacker position, the card packages are inserted laterally through a laterally facing inlet ( ) of a stacker ( ) in two stages with successive pairs of card packages ( &prime;) being kept in an interleaved state.

A smart card verification insertion system ( ) for inserting smart cards ( ) into corresponding carriers ( ) only after verifying the card data read with a mag stripe reader ( ), an embossed character reader ( ), an IC chip reader ( ), and a first bar code reader ( ) and a back bar code reader ( ) and data encoded on the printed carrier read with a carrier reader ( ) correspond to one another and also correspond to account data stored in a smart card account data memory ( ). If it is determined that the card has been incorrectly prepared, an incorrect card reject mechanism ( ) is actuated by a verification controller ( ) in response to the mismatch. Similarly, if the data read by the carrier reader ( ) does not match the data read from the card or retrieved from the smart card account data memory ( ), a mismatch card reject mechanism ( ) is actuated.

A card package production system (10) with interchangeable inserters (24A, 24B) and carrier folders 86B) to enable use of forms (26A, 26B) of different types verifies the carriers (30) if they are properly produced and rejects them if they are not prior to the attachment to a carrier. The embossed characters and encoding read from the card are compared with the stored card data to verify accuracy and are compared to coding on the carrier form (26A, 26B) to determine if there is a match. A code on the carrier is also compared to stored carrier data and to the cards provided for insertion and are rejected without cards if incorrectly prepared.

Card carrying mailing forms (10, 80) with a planar resilient body of paper (12, 82) having fold lines (14, 16 and 84, 86) equally dividing the body (12, 82) into a leading end section (18, 88), a middle section (20, 90) and a lagging end section (22, 92). In one embodiment of the carrier form (10) ears (66) are opened by bending the planar body (12) to receive cards held within a pair of corner pockets (38, 40) by a flap (50) cut from the middle section (20) of the body (12) which also is moved to an operative position by bending the body (12). In another embodiment of the carrier form (80), pockets (98, 100) are made from rectilinear cuts to enable opening of the pockets (98, 100) by means of a roller and the cards (30) are held in the pockets by folding the lagging end section (88) over the middle section (90) adjacent the edge (102) of the card (30).

Card package production system with burster and code reader

Methods of operating embossed card package production system (10) by verifying by reading and comparing information obtained by reading embossed (32) and magnetically encoded information (35) and coded information (27) on a carrier (26A, 26B) stored card and carrier information in a forms data memory (44) and a card data memory (40) to make new cards appropriately prepared and are correctly matched to the carriers (26A, 26B). Incorrect cards (30) are sent to a reject location (90) to prevent formation of incorrect packages. Only cards (30) which are determined to be correctly prepared have activation labels 21 applied which also serve to distinguish them from incorrectly prepared cards (30) and inventory reports are automatically kept of rejected carriers, rejected cards and the number of labels as well as the number of correct carriers produced which are printed on the very type of carrier to which the accounting information relates with a carrier printer (48). Multiple types of bar codes (22) and identified and decoded automatically.
