Overview

A multifunctional system for maximum card security

Core is a system dedicated to the instant production of secure cards and is capable of performing up to four operations in just one single step:

  • Single or double-sided color sublimation printing,
  • Data encoding on magnetic strips, contact or contactless smartcards (these technologies can be combined with each other),
  • Laser engraving of text, images, and security features, either single or double-sided,
  • Single or double-sided lamination, with or without holograms.

 

Thanks to this versatility, Core provides performance and productivity that are rarely equaled.

The Core system is ideal for printing all types of highly secure badges, such as:

  • National ID cards
  • Driver’s licenses
  • Airport access control badges
  • Military or police ID badges

Advantages

Card security

With Core, you can integrate a range of highly secure personalization features:

  • Prevention of any attempt to fake cards thanks to a laser procedure:
    • Ghost images,
    • Microtext,
    • CLI (Changeable Laser Image),
    • Tactile effects,
    • LPI® (Laser Protected Image).
  • Premium protection thanks to the card lamination with or without holograms:
    • Varnish,
    • Patch,
    • Personalized or generic hologram.
  • Encoding technologies on magnetic strips, contact or contactless smartcards that can be combined with each other.

These different procedures used together significantly increase the security level of the card to prevent counterfeiting attempts.

Security technologies Core
  • Contact or contactless chip
  • Personal data laser engraved
  • CLI (Changeable Laser Image)
  • Microtext laser engraved
  • Color sublimation printing in 300 dpi (with or without LPI®)
  • Lamination with or without hologram
