Abstract
An IC tag and an IC card are provided to achieve reduction in size, improvement on workability and the yield rate when manufacturing, reduction of manufacturing cost, etc., The IC tag of this invention is formed for transmitting information in non-contact manner, and two pieces of antenna circuits 2 are folded and superposed on each other therebetween. One of the two pieces of antenna circuits 2 is a mounted circuit 2A on which an IC chip 6 is not mounted, and the other is an opened circuit 2B on which on IC chip 6 is mounted. On one surface of the antenna circuit 2 is provided a surface printing material 10 on which visible information is printed. On the other surface of the antenna circuit 2 is provided an adhesive member, so that the antenna circuit 2 can be stuck with each other by folding a circuit support portion 4.
