Contactless cards in 13.56 MHz, 125 kHz and UHF, encoded in our own plant against your reader, not against a catalogue.
Offices, buildings, industrial sites and campuses, including multi tenant buildings where each floor runs its own reader. One credential per person, encoded to the system already on the door, so the cards arrive ready to issue rather than ready to programme.
Access control and security →Gyms, clubs, retail programmes and associations issuing credentials across a large member base. Artwork and numbering change with every batch while the chip usually stays the same, which is what keeps a reorder quick and the cards working on the readers you already have.
Retail and loyalty →Guest and staff cards for hotel groups, resort developments and management companies rolling out across several properties. The lock decides the chip, so we start from the lock and work back, and we ask you to test a sample in your own door before a full run.
Hospitality →It depends on the reader or the lock already on your door, never on the card itself. If you are not sure which one you have, send us the model and we confirm it in writing before you place an order, so nothing is decided by guesswork.
Older proximity readers, door intercoms and the legacy hotel locks still in service.
Most current access control, hotel locks, campus systems and phone taps over NFC.
Long range reads at a barrier or a gate, for vehicles, parking and asset tracking.
Your own artwork, printed and finished in the same plant that makes the card, so the colour you approve is the colour that ships.
Cards are encoded to your system before they leave the plant, so the box you open is ready to issue rather than ready to programme.
All three carry the same chip and the same encoding, so the choice is about how the card looks, how it is finished and how many you order. Wood is the one with real limits, and they are listed here rather than left for you to find out later.

Send us the reader or lock model you use. We confirm what we can supply before you order, rather than guess.
Frequency and chip family, from the reader or lock model or from the card you use now. You can also post us a card and we verify it here.
On encrypted systems, we can supply the correct chip, but credentials controlled by the system owner may need to be written by them.
We send you a free sample in the material and chip you need, so you can test it in your own reader or lock before a full production run.

A print-ready PDF or AI file, both faces, with bleed. If not, we can work from the card you use now.
Send the model name or system and version. A clear photo of the reader is often enough to identify it.
An approximate quantity is enough to start. It helps us recommend the right production setup.
An approximate delivery date is enough. It helps us plan production & confirm the best option for your order.
Usually, but it is checked rather than assumed. The reader or lock model tells us the frequency and the chip family. System configuration sometimes needs a physical test, and we say so rather than guess.
The reader or lock model first. Then the chip type if you know it, and clear photographs of both faces of the card you use now. On encrypted systems, a physical sample beats all of it.
Usually. We work from the card you use now, the reader or lock model, and any specification you were given at installation. Where that is not enough, we ask for a sample rather than a description.
Both run at 13.56 MHz, which is why they get confused, but they are different families and are not interchangeable. DESFire adds security features. Your reader decides which one you need, not which chip is newer.
13.56 MHz, 125 kHz and UHF, covering MIFARE, NTAG, ICODE, EM4200, T5577 and UHF Gen 2. The specification above lists what we hold as standard. Send the model if yours is not there.
Yes, in our own plant, so cards arrive ready to issue. On open systems we encode to your specification. On encrypted systems we supply the correct chip and the key holder writes the credential.
Yes. Numbering, barcodes, QR codes, photo ID and other variable data can change on every card, and the chip can be encoded individually. Send the data as a spreadsheet, one row per card.
Yes, and we recommend it. Samples go by express so you can try the card in your own reader before committing a run. The real door tells you more than any specification sheet.
Yes, it is the most common request we handle. A lock or firmware upgrade can change the chip a property needs. Send the lock system name and version, and test a sample in your own door.
The card has to arrive in something and be carried in something. Sleeves and holders are made to the format of the card and specified on the same sheet.
Accessories →
The same chip, encoded the same way, for the people on the site who carry keys rather than a wallet. The reader cannot tell the two apart.
Key fobs →For guests, members and anywhere a card is impractical. Same frequencies, same chip families, so one site can run cards and bands together.
Wristbands →
