Production of plastic cards
Bar-coding is printed onto the cards by means of thermo-printing. The barcode is used as an ID medium and is suitable for contactless reading with the help of a sensor (these cards are also known as proximity cards).
The most frequently used types of bar-coding are:
EAN 8, EAN 13, CODE 39, CODE 128, CODABAR, etc.
Practical usage of bar-coding:
Identification (with the help of a bar-code reader); to track attendance; in parking areas; in eating rooms or houses, etc.
