Patent

CA 2270399

Debit cards, such as long distance telephone cards, may be attractively packaged and even readily mounted for point of purchase display, in such a manner that the card is inactive until activated at the point of purchase. The card may be activated at the point of purchase without the necessity of in any way opening up the attractive packaging, or moving any portion of the packaging out of the way, and by merely "swiping" the card while still mounted in the package through a conventional card reader. The card is mounted between first and second panels of primarily cellulose material including an area significantly greater than that of the card, with the card magnetic strip completely exposed (that is uncovered by the panels or any other packaging material). The majority of the card is typically sandwiched between the first and second panels and is removably held to the panels, for example by hot melt adhesive, and the panels are affixed to each other.

L'invention porte sur des cartes de débit telles que des cartes téléphoniques longue distance pouvant être emballées facilement et de manière attrayante, même pour être présentées à des points d'achat, la carte étant ainsi inactive jusqu'à son utilisation au point d'achat. La carte peut être activée au point d'achat sans avoir besoin d'ouvrir, en aucune manière, l'emballage attrayant, ou sans retirer une quelconque partie de l'emballage, la carte étant simplement "balayée" par un lecteur de carte traditionnel tout en restant dans son emballage. La carte est placée entre des premier et second panneaux de matériau de cellulose d'une surface bien plus grande que celle de la carte, la bande magnétique de la carte étant totalement découverte (c'est-à-dire non recouverte par les panneaux ou autre matériau d'emballage). La plus grande partie de la carte est prise en sandwich entre les premier et second panneaux et est maintenue amovible contre les panneaux, par exemple, par un adhésif thermofusible, les panneaux étant fixés l'un à l'autre.
