Printing on Smart Cards

Contactless Smart cards

For contactless smart-cards, orientation is not a consideration (unless the card will be printed on; see below).

Printing on Smart Cards

Contact Smart Cards

When designing material to be printed on Contact Smart Cards, be sure the printing will not be on the contact area.

Contactless Smart Cards

When designing material to be printed on Contactless Smart Cards, be sure the printing will not be on the smart chip area (i.e., the printing on either side of the card must not be on top of or underneath the smart chip area).

By looking at an unprinted card very carefully, it is possible to see the chip location (as in the figure on the left below). If you print in that area, results will be unsatisfactory (in the figure on the right, the “star” should have been a single solid color).
