A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PUNCH-OUT RFID TRANSACTION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for providing a radio frequency identification (RFID) transaction device, comprising:
- preparing a sheet of a plurality of RFID transaction device combinations, wherein each transaction device combination includes a transaction device transporter including a transaction device border defined by the transporter outside perimeter, and a RFID module contained within the transaction device transporter, the RFID module being operable to conduct a RFID transaction using RFID transmission; and
pressing a plurality of distinct RFID module outlines into the sheet, wherein each RFID module outline is pressed so as to lie substantially completely within a transaction device transporter outside perimeter, said pressing of the transaction device outlines being done with sufficient pressure to perforate substantially through the transporter so that the RFID module and the transporter may remain in physical communication, the pressed RFID module outline enabling removal of the RFID module from the transporter, the RFID module being configured to complete a RFID transaction independently of the transporter.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for providing an irregularly shaped Radio Frequency operable transaction device using conventional International Standards Organization dimensions for conventional transaction cards and traditional transaction card manufacturing machinery. The invention provides for normal manufacture of a plurality of transaction transporters joined together in a single sheet. The outline of a RFID transaction device is impressed in a center portion of one of the transporters. A RFID transaction device including a RFID module may then be removed, or punched out of the transporter in accordance with the transaction device outline. Alternatively, the RFID module may include an outline pressed into the transporter permitting removal of the module from the transporter independent of the removal of the transaction device. The RFID module may then be removed and used to complete a RFID transaction. The invention further includes a carrying case for securing the RFID module from loss or theft.
