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

1-20. -20. (canceled)

21. A method for forming a transaction card, comprising:

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

forming a fabric component with an aperture, the fabric component having a first fabric surface opposite a second fabric surface;

joining the fabric component and substrate component by joining the second fabric surface to the first substrate surface such that the first fabric surface comprises an outermost writeable fabric surface;

affixing an electronic component to the first substrate surface of the substrate component.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the substrate component is formed by of at least one of molding, milling, stamping, or sheet forming.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein the substrate component comprises a material of at least one of fiberglass, metal, or plastic.

24. The method of claim 21, wherein the fabric component is formed by of at least one of weaving, knitting, binding fibers, or cutting from a roll of stock material.

25. The method of claim 21, wherein the aperture is formed by at least one of laser cutting, punching, or trimming.

26. The method of claim 21, wherein the fabric component and substrate component are joined by applying an adhesive between the second fabric surface and the first substrate surface.

27. The method of claim 21, wherein the electronic component comprises at least one of a microprocessor, a radiofrequency identifier, or a microchip.

28. The method of claim 21, wherein affixing the electronic component to the first substrate surface comprises applying an adhesive between the first substrate surface and a first electronic component surface of the electronic component.
