Aspects described herein may allow for a payment card assembly including a payment card having a first surface, an opposed second surface, and an aperture extending through the payment card from the first surface to the second surface. An insert may be removably received in the aperture. Each of a plurality of identification elements may be configured to be removably received in the aperture and have an identification characteristic different than an identification characteristic of each of the other identification elements.

A secure packaging system for a stored value card. The secure packaging system including a front panel and a back panel sealed via a non-rewettable polymer to the front panel at a non-rewettable sealing section, the sealing section arranged continuously around at least a periphery of the stored value card, wherein the sealing section cannot be reactivated or unsealed with heat to access the contents therein.

The present invention relates to a new crystal form of bis(diphenylimidazolidinetrithione-κS4, κS5)-, (SP-4-1)-nickel(II), a printing ink formulation for security printing and security documents, comprising the new crystal form of bis(diphenylimidazolidinetrithione-κS4, κS5)-, (SP-4-1)-nickel(II) as well as its use as IR absorber.

A security-enhanced document including a substrate, variable indica applied to an area of a first side of the substrate, a scratch-off-coating applied over the variable indicia to maintain the variable indicia unreadable until the scratch-off-coating is removed by being scratched off, and digital imaging applied to an area of a reverse side of the substrate from the variable indicia, wherein the digital imaging applied to the area of the reverse side of the substrate includes the same materials as the variable indicia, is uniformly spread over the area of the reverse side of the substrate, and such that the digital imaging overlaps at least 50% of the variable indica applied to the area of the first side of the substrate, such that the variable indicia exhibits an insufficient signal-to-noise ratio relative to the signal-to-noise ratio of the digital imaging on the reverse side of the substrate so that the variable indicia cannot be discerned so long as the scratch-off-coating remains intact.

The present invention particularly relates to an assembly (E) consisting of: a two-dimensional network of micro-optical devices such as microlenses; and a network of micro-images consisting, at most, of as many micro-images (ML) as micro-optical devices, each micro-image being subdivided into N image elements arranged in such a way as to reconstitute, for an observer and through the two-dimensional network of micro-optical devices, N images visble from N different points of view, i.e., N rendering angles, each of these N images representing a reference or recording point of view of a given relief scene consisting of at least one mobile object, characterised by the fact that the image elements consituting a given object within the N images are distriibuted within the network of micro-images in such a way that they appear, depending on the rendering angle, through different micro-optical devices, describing the trajectory of the projection of the object on the plane of the two-dimensional network of micro-optical devices relative to the reference point of view.

The disclosed embodiments generally relate to a transaction card with an integrated card stand. The transaction card comprises a substrate having a card thickness, and first and second card surfaces, the second card surface being substantially coextensive with the first card surface. The transaction may further comprise a card stand pivotable relative to the second card surface and having a stand thickness.
