Abstract: A card-shaped data carrier includes an electronic chip module with at least one chip and a contact structure, and including a card body with an arrangement region for receiving the chip module, the chip module being arranged in the arrangement region of the card body, and the card body having at least one first plastics layer and at least one ceramic layer, the first plastics layer being formed from a brittle plastics material to adjust a fracture behavior of the card-shaped data carrier.

Abstract: Methods and systems for producing a coated fabric or knit fabric. A coating material is applied to a first carrier material such that the first carrier material is at least partially coated with the coating material. The fabric or knit fabric and the first carrier material that is at least partially coated with the coating material are brought together. The coating material is at least partially transferred from the first carrier material to the fabric or knit fabric.

Abstract: A card-shaped data carrier includes an electronic chip module having at least one chip and a contact structure; and a card body having an arrangement region for receiving the chip module. The chip module is arranged in the arrangement region of the card body. The card-shaped data carrier has at least a first wood layer and at least a second wood layer. The card-shaped data carrier can be bent out of a rest position into a bent position by the application of an external force; at least one restoring element for increasing the restoring force of the card-shaped data carrier is arranged between the first wood layer and the second wood layer. The restoring element is designed such that the card-shaped data carrier can be automatically returned from the bent position to the rest position when the external force is no longer applied.

Abstract: A method for producing a film for a card-shaped data carrier, includes the following steps: providing at least one first material in an extruder of an extrusion apparatus; heating the first material to form a melt; extruding the melt through a nozzle outlet gap of the extrusion apparatus; conveying the extruded melt on a roller arrangement that is adjacent to the nozzle outlet gap and includes at least one cooling roller; providing at least one transfer film; supplying the transfer film to the extruded melt on the cooling roller is so the security element contacts a surface of the extruded melt on the surface of the transfer film; transferring the security element from the surface of the transfer film onto the surface of the extruded melt; cooling the extruded melt comprising the security element to form the film.

Abstract: The invention relates to an identification document (10) for identifying a person with a coloured identification image (50) with a carrier (12) has a personalization area (14) for receiving image information, wherein the personalization area comprises a recording layer (20) for receiving first image information, a lens arrangement (22) for viewing the first image information, and a partially transparent print layer (26) formed on the lens arrangement for receiving second image information. The first image information contains a black-and-white positive image (54) of the person as a first partial image information and a black-and-white negative image (64) of the person as a second partial image information.

Abstract: A data carrier in card form includes a card body, which has a first card surface, a second card surface, and a peripheral border. The peripheral border connects the first card surface to the second card surface. The peripheral border also has a first border portion with at least one cutout, with at least one cutout being at least partially filled with a color material, in order in this way to provide a color effect for the first border portion. A method is provided for producing a data carrier in card form.

Abstract: A method for producing a film having a security feature for a card-shaped data carrier includes: providing at least one film material having a base color; providing at least one coloring agent; introducing the film material into an extruder of an extrusion apparatus; heating the film material to form a melt; separately heating the coloring agent to form a flowable color; extruding the melt through a nozzle outlet gap of the extrusion apparatus; feeding the flowable color to the extruded melt to form a bead-like mixture; mixing of the flowable color and the extruded melt within the bead-like mixture to form a film. The extruded melt and the flowable color have different material properties so that they do not mix homogeneously, whereby a randomized multi-coloring is visible in plan view of the film. A film and a card-shaped data carrier are associated with aspects of the method.

Abstract: A laminate for a cardlike data medium, includes at least three layers with a first layer, a second layer and a third layer. The second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer. The first layer and the third layer include polylactide, PLA, and the second layer comprises a PLA-free laser polymer mixture. The laser polymer mixture includes at least one first plastic, at least one second plastic and at least one laser additive, where a material of the first plastic is different from a material of the second plastic.
