Abstract
A stored value card having increased theft prevention features. A large format sheet having a plurality of cards is imaged with variable indicia. A tamper proof layer is applied over the barcode such that if removed, the variable indicia would no longer be readable. Alternatively, unique human readable indicia is imaged on the substrate and then encapsulated by the tamper proof layer. The sheet is then imaged with a barcode or encoded with a magnetic stripe, simultaneously linking unique human readable indicia to the card. An alphanumeric code matching the unique indicia is displayed at the time of activation to authenticate the card. In either embodiment, the sheet is imaged in large or full format without the need for reducing the size of the sheet.
