This review is from: Smart Card Manufacturing: A Practical Guide (Hardcover)

A detailed coverage on subject of smart card manufacturing and technical challenges of the process. Probably the only reference to complex process of manufacturing and its challenges. The technical aspect well covered with good in depth illustrations. A must for engineers dealing with dual and tri-interface cards to understand the manufacturing details.
