Abstract

Disclosed embodiments generally relate to a transaction card having a substrate component with a first substrate surface opposite a second substrate surface; a fabric component having a first fabric surface opposite a second fabric surface, the fabric and substrate being joined along the second fabric surface and the first substrate surface, the fabric component defining one or more apertures; and one or more electronic components disposed in the one or more apertures, the one or more electronic components and substrate being joined along a first electronic component surface and the first substrate surface.

Claims

1. A transaction card, comprising:

a substrate component having a first substrate surface opposite a second substrate surface;

a fabric component having a first fabric surface opposite a second fabric surface, the fabric and substrate components being joined along the second fabric surface and the first substrate surface, the fabric component defining an aperture and the first fabric surface being an outermost writeable surface of the transaction card; and

an electronic component disposed in the aperture, the electronic component and substrate being joined along a first electronic component surface and the first substrate surface.

2. The transaction card of claim 1, wherein a length and a width of the substrate component are the same as a length and a width of the fabric component, respectively.

3. The transaction card of claim 1, wherein the substrate component comprises a material of at least one of fiberglass, metal, or plastic.

4. The transaction card of claim 1, wherein the fabric component comprises a woven material.

5. The transaction card of claim 4, wherein the woven material comprises a canvas material.

6. The transaction card of claim 4, wherein the woven material comprises a writeable material.

7. The transaction card of claim 1, wherein the electronic component comprises at least one of a microprocessor, a radiofrequency identifier, or an EMV chip.

8. The transaction card of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive layer disposed between the first substrate surface and second fabric surface.

9. The transaction card of claim 1, wherein the electronic component is joined to the first substrate surface with a thermoplastic material.

10. The transaction card of claim 9, wherein the thermoplastic material comprises polyvinyl chloride.

11. The transaction card of claim 1, further comprising an outer layer disposed on the second substrate surface.

12. The transaction card of claim 11, wherein the outer layer comprises a protective coating material disposed on the second substrate surface.

13. The transaction card of claim 1, wherein the outer layer comprises a laminate layer disposed on the second substrate surface.

14. The transaction card of claim 13, wherein the laminate layer further comprises a holographic image.

15. The transaction card of claim 1, further comprising visible information disposed on the second substrate surface.

16. The transaction card of claim 15, wherein visible information comprises raised alphanumeric characters.

17. The transaction card of claim 15, wherein the visible information comprises printed information.

18. The transaction card of claim 1, further comprising a magnetic strip disposed on the second substrate surface.

19. The transaction card of claim 18, wherein the magnetic strip is joined to the second substrate surface with a thermoplastic material.

20. The transaction card of claim 1, further comprising an antenna disposed between the first substrate surface and the second fabric surface.
