METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A DATA CARRIER BODY FOR A PORTABLE DATA CARRIER AND DATA CARRIER BODY

A method for producing a data storage medium body for a portable data storage medium having a core layer and at least one top layer is proposed, wherein the core layer contains a chip module. The method involves providing a chip module (22) having a surface (24) which is adverse to lamination; applying an adhesive deposit (16) to the module surface (24); creating a recess (43, 45) in the core layer (42, 44) and inserting the chip module (22) into said recess such that the module surface (24) provided with the adhesive deposit (16) is situated towards the open side of the recess (43, 45); then applying a top layer (50) over the module surface (24); finally laminating the arrangement (16, 22, 42, 44, 50) which is then present. In this case, the adhesive deposit (16) combines intimately with the adjoining top layer (50).
