In today's digital age, digital identity (Digital ID) and security are essential. At Mid Atlantic, we ensure your personal data is encrypted from the start and remains secure. As we transition to digital identities, linking traditional credentials with online authentication is crucial.

Digital identity allows individuals to verify their identity without physical documents, using personal information like age or nationality as a unique online credential or a digital version of a physical ID, such as a driver's license.

Enabling individuals to securely access online services

Online authentication, identity, and eligibility solutions can increase security, ease of use, and accessibility to online services. They are central to efficiency and can improve an individual’s ability to operate securely in an increasingly digital world. They can be used to enable citizens to access critical activities such as healthcare, education, or the right to work.

Mid Atlantic collaborates with clients to provide customized software and hardware solutions that fit their security needs, application types, and card issuance volume.

Securing identities for various uses: National IDs, Driver licenses, Citizen cards, Residence permits, Voter registration, Vehicle registration, Healthcare, Employee access cards

Direct to card print technology enables issuers to print full color images directly onto the surface of a plastic card. Direct to card (DTC) printers selectively heat a dye-based ribbon, typically with yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C) and black (K) panels. These are pressed directly on to the card’s surface, thereby infusing the color into the plastic. It works best with cards made from regular PVC or composite cards with a PVC top layer.

Mid Atlantic provides thermal direct to card color printing either as a module in its central issuance systems or as a standalone desktop system.

Retransfer printing technology enables the creation of sharp, vibrant color images on various plastic surfaces, including PVC, PC, ABS, PET, and smart cards (chip cards). This method, popularized in photo booths, differs from direct to card printing by using an indirect approach. Retransfer printers utilize two films: A color ribbon with dye-based panels in yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K). A clear receiving film known as retransfer film.

The printer heats the color panels, infusing the dye into the receiving film, which is then heat sealed onto the plastic card. This technique is ideal for non-PVC cards and those with irregular surfaces, such as embedded smart chips. The Mid Atlantic range of desktop retransfer printers is designed for specific security and output needs, offering a variety of chromXpert® ribbons and options for inline encoding, lamination, and laser processing.

Our high-performance Card Embossing Machine is designed for precision, speed, and durability. Ideal for banking, ID, and membership card production, it delivers crisp embossed characters and smooth operation. With user-friendly controls and high output capacity, it’s the perfect solution for secure and professional card personalization.

Greyscale graphics and monochrome text are engraved directly into the surface of the card by using a high resolution laser beam. Cards are typically based on a polycarbonate (PC) substrate, but other plastics can also be used in certain circumstances.

Thanks to high resolution engraving (up to 1200 dpi) and integrated multiple card security options, Mid Atlantic’s laser engraving machines provide outstanding protection against counterfeiting and forgery. Offered in both desktop and high volume centralized formats. The laser engraving range can be combined with other card personalization technologies for a full card issuance solution.
