Abstract

A virtual card personalization system receives information to personalize a transaction card and creates a virtual transaction card using the information. Virtual devices in the system control physical personalization equipment which is used to produce the transaction card based on data in the virtual transaction card. Each virtual device converts the virtual transaction card data specific to its function into a format recognizable by the personalization equipment it controls and instructs the personalization equipment to process the converted data to produce the physical transaction card.
