Smart Cards, Achieve an optimal level of adhesion with Kingzom films
The smart card industry is moving very fast, with manufacturers introducing an ever more advanced array of new products with new types of functionality to the market. Technologies such as contactless, dual and multi-components cards are the smart cards manufacturers’ answer to the market needs for functionality, ease of use and security. The layer lamination which this new generation of smart cards requires brings its particular set of challenges to manufacturers.
Adhesive tape technology is seen as the most flexible, clean and easy solution for the smart card market’s manufacturing process. Adhesive use for module embedding guarantees both card quality and long term resistance, which in turn reinforce the Smart Card security.
