HID Paperlam® Shield
HID Paperlam® Shield is an innovative thin electromagnetic barrier, smoothly integrated into a paper e-Passport inlay. When the passport booklet is closed, the shield material makes the chip inaccessible; conversely, when the booklet open, the chip can be read normally.

Our Exclusive Technologies
HID DBond™
HID Global's DBond™ (Direct Bonding) technology directly connects an RFID wire antenna to a microchip without the need for a bulky module housing. As a result, ultra-thin inlays and prelaminates can be created allowing the card or passport manufacturer more flexibility in the design of their document.

HID Crack Prevention Feature (CPF)
HID Global's unique crack prevention feature protects both the polycarbonate (PC) and the chip module. This technology optimizes the reliability of polycarbonate documents by reducing the physical stresses in the chip region of the card which are induced by lamination.
