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 dielectric layer comprising an embossed surface and a flat surface which is located at a side opposite to the embossed surface is provided. The plane that approximates the flat surface is the X-Y plane, and the normal direction to the X-Y plane is the Z direction. The embossed surface has inclined surfaces that are inclined with respect to the Z direction, and the inclined surfaces reflect incident light incident on the dielectric layer and emerge reflected light. The elevation angle, which is an angle between the inclined surface and the X-Y plane, is α. The refractive index of the dielectric layer is n. These values satisfy Formula (1): sin α≤(1/n)<sin 2α.

A packaged redeemable code system is disclosed. The packaged redeemable code system includes a paper insert having a front surface with a removable item, and a rear surface with redeemable code. The packaged redeemable code system further includes a paper sleeve having an interior that encloses the paper insert and conceals the redeemable code. The paper sleeve also having a ripcord configured to open an edge of the paper sleeve to provide an access point for removal of the paper insert. The paper sleeve further having a front surface with a cutout extending therethrough. The cutout aligns with and provides visual access to the removable item. The removable item is a different color than or provides contrast with the front surface of the paper sleeve. The paper sleeve further having a rear surface with an activation code that is associated with the redeemable code.

The present disclosure provides an electronic badge and a housing for the same. The housing includes: a rear case defining a main board cavity, and formed with a display opening in communication with the main board cavity and a profile card receiving slot located outside the main board cavity; and a front case detachably disposed on the rear case to enclose the profile card receiving slot or both the display opening and the profile card receiving slot, a portion of the front case opposite the profile card receiving slot or both the display opening and the profile card receiving slot being made of a transparent material.

A heated indenter is provided for indenting a personalized document to create a security impression thereon. The personalized document includes but is not limited to, identification cards, driver's licenses, credit and debit cards, and the like. The security impression can provide a visible or tactile security feature that can be recognized by one with little or no training. The security impression causes a laminate layer of the document to tear or disfigure when attempting to remove the laminate layer from a substrate of the document.

Disclosed are computer-implemented methods, non-transitory computer-readable media, and systems for authentication. One computer-implemented method includes obtaining a first image, where the first image is an image of an identification (ID) document captured when the ID document is tilted at a first angle relative to a projected light source. A second image is obtained, where the second image is an image of the ID document captured when the ID document is tilted at a second angle relative to the projected light source. The ID document is authenticated based on identification of a first illuminated region and a second illuminated region, where the first illuminated region is associated with the first image and the second illuminated region is associated with the second image, and a comparison between a first position of the first illuminated region and a second position of the second illuminated region.
