Abstract
An information storage card with one side printed with text and or images and the opposing side printed with encoded information readable by an optical sensor and decodable by a microprocessor, wherein the encoded information is repeated at different locations on the opposing side of the card such that localized card damage or printing faults do not prevent the sensor and the microprocessor from decoding the encoded information. Preferably, the encoded information is distributed across substantially the total of the second surface of the identifying card. The encoded information can be printed on the second surface and the text and or images can comprise business contact details for the owner of the card. The encoded information can include company information for a company associated with the owner.
