Product Summary

Now you can put high-quality credit, debit and ATM cards in your customers' hands instantly -- with the Datacard® 150i card personalization system.

This affordable, compact system is ideal for banks, savings and loans, credit unions, retailers and other organizations that want to improve customer service.

Lower issuance costs and greater customer satisfaction

Issuing ready-to-use financial cards on the spot eliminates the expense and risks associated with personalized mailing. Customers receive their cards -- and can begin using your services -- immediately.

Promote immediate use of your products and services

With instantly issued cards, you have the opportunity to discuss credit, debit or ATM programs with customers immediately. You can explain benefits right then and there, as well as answer any questions. So customers not only feel more comfortable -- they can access your products and services more confidently.

Security features deter theft and fraud

The Datacard 150i offers several unique security functions. For physical security, a user's application may define a password which can unlock the chassis cover. All entries can be recorded on the audit trail to protect your card stock.

The 150i also is programmed to recognize financial card formats. A password is required from the host to enable quick and easy production of financial cards.

Magnetic stripe and smart card capabilities

Because the world is progressing from magnetic stripes to smart card technology, the Datacard 150i offers both. It includes standard magnetic stripe encoding capabilities as well as optional smart card personalization capabilities. This dual approach will help smooth the transition to smart card technology.

Card Personalization

450 Card Personalization System

Fast, single-pass card personalization

Product Summary | Features | Options | Specifications | Related brochures

 

Product Summary

The Datacard® 450 card personalization system lets you produce high-quality, personalized cards—such as credit, debit, ATM and retail cards—in a fast, single-pass operation. It gives you the flexibility to start with embossing characters and then add other features such as color topping, encoded magnetic stripes, indent printing and personalized smart card chips—as you need them.

High-volume issuance in a desktop system

This rugged, reliably designed system personalizes up to 420 standard financial format (40 character embossed) cards per hour, so it offers the speed and productivity of Datacard's large, fully integrated card issuance systems; yet, it fits neatly on almost any desktop.

Easy to operate

Even first-time users will find the Datacard 450 extremely simple to operate. An easy-to-understand LCD panel provides operators with helpful prompts throughout the issuance process. Plus, the areas that operators access most — such as the card loading tray, output tray and topping foil cassette — are easily accessible. That means operators spend less time replenishing supplies and handling cards.

Add capabilities as your needs expand

As payment processing and data collection systems become more sophisticated, you will need additional technologies to stay competitive. The Datacard 450 offers a flexible, modular design that lets you start with basic embossing and then add new capabilities as you need them.

Magnetic stripe encoding

This module lets you encode high- or low-coercivity magnetic stripes on either side of a card.

Indent printing

For additional security you can add an indent printing module, which affords the flexibility to indent on the front or back of cards.

Smart card personalization

Smart cards are quickly becoming a popular payment and data collection alternative. The Datacard 450 allows you to make the transition easily by adding a smart card personalization module.
