CPI Card Group, a world leader in card solutions for 30 years, with EMV card manufacturing and services capabilities in the U.S. and Canada, announced today that the company is qualified by Visa® and MasterCard® to produce cards using 3M’s Non-Metallic Foil material.
3M’s Non-Metallic Foil is a breakthrough technological achievement that uses light management to produce stunning mirror-like design effects and possesses none of the metallic particles inherent in traditional foils, making the material uniquely positioned for EMV cards. “The non metallic foil gives a metal look with no metal” said Mark Griffin, Global Business Manager for 3M’s Payment Components Business. “The material is a polyester blend so it is safe to use in contact, contactless and dual-interface cards.”
“CPI Card Group is always looking for new ways to bring breakthrough technology and options to our customers, especially in the realm of EMV,” said Docia Myer of CPI Card Group. “3M’s Non-Metallic Foil provides us with a card solution complete with technology and style to add to the developing world of plastic card manufacturing.”
Using non-metallic foils in construction of transaction cards produce stunning and distinctive designs. The mirror finish radiantly reflects multiple colors and opens up a world of design possibilities for issuers like CPI Card Group.
