Smart Packaging Solutions (SPS) announced that its Embedded Contactless Module is now available for quantity shipments.

The patent-protected technology enables identity document producers to manufacture contactless smart cards the same way, and with the same equipment as contact cards, thus leading to better quality cards and higher yields.

With this technology, card vendors will only have to support one process for all types of cards – contact, contactless and dual technology cards – making their production organization and management procedures more cost-efficient.

Imprimerie Nationale, the French national printer, has already adopted SPS Embedded Contactless Module process to manufacture many of its identity documents, including foreign resident cards, among others.
