ABSTRACT:
A smart card is made of a thermoplastic material card body having two substantially parallel major sides. A support member with a graphic on it is on at least one side of the card. An electronic module has a contact array to one side of which is fixed a chip including an integrated circuit. The support member is placed in a mold comprising an hollow space defining the shape of the card and delimited by two main walls corresponding to the major sides of the card, and it is held against one of these main walls. A thermoplastic material is injected into the volume defined by the hollow space to fill the volume not occupied by the support member. The electronic module is placed at an appropriate position in the hollow space before the injected material has solidified completely.
