Abstract
A secure card package including features such that an activable card disposed in the secure card package is activable only upon separation of a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion are separably interconnected along a separation line such that upon separation of the first portion and the second portion a reference edge is defined. A machine-readable activation data field is disposed on one of the first portion or second portion with respect to the reference edge such that the machine-readable activation data field is only readable upon separation of the first portion and the second portion to define the reference edge.
