DHS orders LaserCard’s new encoding solution for Green Cards

Thursday, April 10, 2008 in News

LaserCard Corp. has received a purchase order to supply a next generation card encoding solution for the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Permanent Resident Card, or Green Card, Program. LaserCard will supply 40 next generation encoders, associated software and services. The new solution will replace “Green Card” personalization equipment which is more than a decade old. The encoders and software, valued at approximately $170,000, are expected to be delivered over the next six months.

LaserCard’s personalized Embedded Hologram is unique among all data storage technologies used on cards in that it permanently marks the digital recording medium with eye visible data, in this case the facial image of the cardholder. [end]
