Flexible chips in paper

The Flexlines project has reached a new milestone. Very thin flexible chips can be integrated into paper gaming cards, tickets and official documents. This way these paper documents are being converted into smart documents, enabling extra features -like gaming, security and logistics- for the users. The flexible chips have been designed by imec, manufactured by TNO and integrated in paper by Cartamundi. Now each card can have a unique electronic ID without losing any of its touch and feel. Each paper card/ticket/document can interact with electronics devices and provide extra digital information to the users.
