Entrust Datacard is rolling out its next generation of card-issuance systems for self-service kiosks. This system, CE870, allows kiosks to issue payment or identification cards, according to an Entrust press release.

The system provides a variety of options such as embossing, rear indenting, mag stripe encoding and smart code encoding.

"The shift toward a self-service economy has rapidly progressed in the last five years, with 40 percent of consumers reporting a preference toward self-service to human contact for their future interactions with companies," said Connell Smith, vice president distributed issuance, supplies and secure technology products for Entrust Datacard. "Consumers now encounter self-service options in every aspect of their lives, from self-checkout at grocery stores and retailers, to self-check-in at airports and transportation hubs — and the kiosk-optimized CE870 system brings that same self-service convenience to consumers in the financial, government and health care space."
