Definitions

  • the invention relates to a production system for producing data cards for security documents, which consist of a laminate composite which comprises at least two layers laminated together.
  • the individual layers or layers are provided as an endless belt on a roll and fed in succession in order to be subsequently laminated. After the individual layers have been laminated to form a laminate composite, cards are punched to a final format.
  • Such manufacturing is also referred to as a roll process, since the provision of the individual layers to form a laminate composite is pulled off a roll as a web-shaped material.
  • Such a roller process is neither flexible nor compact in its design, since the arrangement of the individual stations for feeding the individual layers and / or printing stations and / or laminating stations are arranged in a row along a straight transport route, so that long production lines are created.
  • a method for producing an individual identification, value or security document in which the document has a personalized composite body, which comprises a document type-specific selection of material sheets in a document type-specific order.
