Abstract
A method of printing a graphic on an electronic memory card comprised of a card body, made of a thermoplastic material and having two main faces that are substantially mutually parallel, and an electronic module carrying electrical contacts on a contact face thereof, which contacts are connected to a semiconductor chip. The electronic memory card is molded by injecting the thermoplastic material in a molten state into a mold having a cavity defining the shape of the card body, and solidifying the molten material in the presence of the electronic module in the mold. The memory card is unmolded, and the graphic is then printed on the card body.
