A blister pack includes a housing having a plurality of cavities and a cover sealed to the housing and enclosing the cavities. The cover includes a base layer, at least one security element, and a heat protection layer. The heat protection layer includes one of an amorphous polymer and a semi-crystalline polymer.

An object of the present invention is to provide a thin volume hologram sheet to be embedded sufficiently resistant to a mechanical stress such as a stress including a tensile stress, a shear stress and a compression stress at the time of processing even under a heating condition, a forgery prevention paper and a card using the same. The object is achieved by providing a volume hologram sheet to be embedded comprising a volume hologram layer, and a substrate disposed only on one side surface of the volume hologram layer using an adhesion means, wherein a peeling strength of the volume hologram layer and the substrate is 25 gf/25 mm or more.

A security element includes a first transparent film, on which a holographic layer is formed having a holographic surface structure, a reflective layer arranged in contact with the holographic layer having a pattern of non-transparent regions and transparent regions, a color changing layer, and a photoactive layer having dark regions and transparent regions. In first regions, parts of the non-transparent regions of the reflective layer are not overlapped by the dark regions of the photoactive layer. In second regions, the color changing layer is backed by the dark regions of the photoactive layer. In third regions, the transparent regions of the photoactive layer are at least partly in register with the transparent regions of the reflective layer so that the third regions are continuous when passing from patterns outside the non-transparent regions of the reflective layer to patterns outside the dark regions of the photoactive layer.

A security element, called a security dome, intended to be glued onto an electronic board. The security element includes at least: a metal part intended to be in contact with at least one electrical circuit of the electronic board; and a protective part covering the metal part and having a first face comprising an adhesive portion intended to ensure the gluing of the security element on the electronic board by an automatic assembly method having at least one reflow step. The metal part and protective part are resistant to temperatures used during the reflow step.

The present disclosure is directed towards a security sheet (10) for displaying personal data (11) comprising a plastic substrate (12) comprising first and second outer surfaces (13, 14). A first opaque region (21) extends partially across the plastic substrate (12) between the first and second outer surfaces (13, 14). A first window (50) is at least partially surrounded by the first opaque region (21). A security device (51) comprises a transparent first device region (52) and a second device region (53) formed from a second device insert (55). The first and second device regions (52, 53) have different optical detection characteristics. The security device (51) is arranged in the plastic substrate (12) such that, when viewed in reflected light incident upon the first outer surface (13), at least part of the first device region (52) is visible at least partially around the second device region (53) in the first window (50).

A card manufacturing system includes a locating device and a separation device. A laminate sheet comprising a plurality of cards is received by the locating device and is imaged using first and second imaging modalities. The first imaging modality identifies a location of each of the plurality of information carrying cards within the laminate sheet and the second imaging modality images at least one graphic formed on a surface of the laminate sheet. A position of the at least one graphic with respect to at least one information carrying card is determined and the plurality of cards are removed from the laminate sheet using information corresponding to the location of each of the plurality of information carrying cards when the position of the at least one graphic with respect to the information carrying cards is within a predetermined range.
