A pre-laminate usable for forming a datapage of a security document, includes layers of different optical appearance, such as a clear window-type portion, which may be obtained on the basis of a substantially even or flat surface. Since the desired optical appearances of different areas of the pre-laminate are established in an early manufacturing stage, any process steps to be applied in a later manufacturing stage upon forming, for instance, an optical window, in a datapage, may be omitted, thereby contributing to reduced overall manufacturing costs and enhanced tamper resistance of the resulting datapage.

A The invention relates to a method for producing a film intermediate product (1), a film intermediate product (1), as well as a product produced hereby. The film intermediate product (1) is here formed by means of depositing one or more film elements (311 to 314), which is or are formed in each case of a cutout of one or more donor films (301 to 304).

This disclosure is directed to an electronic identification card or electronic card having various features. The electronic card may include an integrated circuit and a contact plate for electrically interfacing with the integrated circuit. The contact plate may include an array of terminal electrodes that are offset with respect to the edges of the contact plate. The electronic card may be coated with a coating layer that extends at least partially over a ferromagnetic element or film. The electronic card may also include a metal substrate having exposed chamfer portions that may provide a visual contrast to the coating layer and also improve the handling and use of the electronic card.

A multilayer card-shaped data carrier has a core layer based on paper, with an individualization formed in the layer. At least a part of the area of the data carrier is deformed into a relief which has a viewing angle-dependent optical effect and which extends into the core layer through the cover layer.

A manufacturing assembly for the creation of laminate constructions includes a calendar device arranged to accept a laminate of three or more layers of material stock, as provided by a matching three or more rolls of the material stock. A sheeting device is arranged downstream from the calendar device for cutting the laminate into predetermined sizes, such that the laminate is kept in a non-rolled, planar orientation subsequent to the laminate exiting the calendar and before the laminate is sheeted by the sheeting device.

The invention relates to the field of radio-frequency identification, in particular, to materials containing radio-frequency tags in their layers and intended for printing and stamping by commonly available printing methods. The technical result of the invention is to obtain the flexible flat sheet material in which the chips and other electronic components do not affect the level of the sheet material surface flatness. The flat sheet material with radio frequency identification contains the sequentially arranged first layer of flexible material, the first intermediate layer, the substrate layer with an antenna and a chip, the second intermediate layer, the second layer of flexible material, and the first intermediate layer made of the polymer composite.

The invention relates to a transfer film (1), in particular hot-stamping film, the use of a transfer film (1), a film, a security document (2), and a method for producing a transfer film (1). Here, it is provided that the transfer film (1) comprises a transfer layer (20) detachably arranged on a carrier layer (10). The transfer layer (20) further has at least one first color layer (30) and the at least one first color layer (30) comprises at least one binder and at least first pigments, the color appearance of which changes depending on the observation angle.
