EDSS - Plastic Card Embossers

Plastic Card Embossers have been the standard in persistent data transfer for many years now.

Embossers can do a variety of functions. The main function is to stamp the plastic card so characters are permanently raised from the cards' surface (think bank card, patient plate, etc.). Other functions can include magnetic stripe encoding, printing, smart card programming, indenting and foil tipping.

Various devices can then pull that data off the card. Imprinting machines are used to transfer the data embossed on the card to the necessary forms. Magnetic stripe readers and smart card readers are used in a plethora of applications to read card data. This is a proven, reliable way to store and transfer data, eliminating human error and time taken to hand copy information.

Embossers come in manual and powered versions. The powered embossers usually can be connected to a computer system as a printer and can be integrated with a database application.
