A transaction card having a metal layer, an opening in the metal layer for a transponder chip, and at least one discontinuity extending from an origin on the card periphery to a terminus in the opening. The card has a greater flex resistance than a card having a comparative discontinuity with the terminus and the origin the same distance from a line defined by a first long side of the card periphery in an absence of one or more strengthening features. Strengthening features include a discontinuity wherein one of the terminus or the origin are located relatively closer to the first long side of the card periphery than the other, a plurality of discontinuities wherein fewer than all extend from the card periphery to the opening, a self-supporting, non-metal layer disposed on at least one surface of the card, or one or more ceramic reinforcing tabs surrounding the opening.

Transaction card having a metal layer and a method for making the transaction card

DI capacitive embedded metal card

Di capacitive embedded metal card

A transaction card is described. The transaction card includes a non-plastic layer, one or more embedded electronics, a fill layer, and one or more additional layers. The non-plastic layer has first and second faces and a thickness therebetween, and at least a first opening in the first face. The one or more embedded electronic components are disposed in or adjacent the first opening. The fill layer is in contact with the embedded electronic components, disposed in portions of the first opening not occupied by the embedded electronics. The one or more additional layers are disposed over the fill layer.

Transaction card with embedded electronic components and process for manufacture

A process for making a transaction card defined by a plurality of layers is described. The process includes providing a first portion of the card, the first portion comprising a non-plastic layer having first and second faces and a thickness therebetween; forming an opening in the non-plastic layer, the opening defined through the first face; disposing embedded electronics in the opening; providing a second portion of the card; and providing a fill disposed in portions of the opening not occupied by the embedded electronics and attaching the first portion of the card to the second portion of the card.

Layer of a transaction card

A transaction card and a process of making the transaction card are described. The transaction card includes a core having first and second faces, a core thickness therebetween, and an opening, and embedded electronics disposed in the opening.
