Printing, lamination, die-cutting, personalisation, encoding, chip testing and packing, all in-house on one floor in Dongguan.
Kaway Group Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong in 2015, and the cards are made in-house in Dongguan. Ask about a material or a finish and the answer comes from the people who run that machine.
The cards are made on the plant floor in Dongguan, not bought in and relabelled, so the lead time is one the plant controls: 12 calendar days standard.
Printing, lamination, die-cutting, personalisation, encoding, chip testing and packing happen in this building, so a change never waits in another shop's queue.
Quote requests are answered the same working day, in writing. If something cannot be done, the reply says so and gives the reason instead of going quiet for a week.
Elsewhere in the chain these are the stages that get subcontracted, and that is where lead time and control are lost. Here all six happen on one floor, in the order below.
These five moments shaped how the production floor in Dongguan works today, from the first high-volume runs to the full range it ships now.
The line scales up for high-volume runs, so a large hotel order becomes routine rather than the exception. Supply reaches three continents.
Kaway Group Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong, with its head office in Chai Wan, giving buyers abroad one point of contact for every order.
Encoding moves onto the plant floor. Cards, fobs and labels are encoded and tested in-house, chip by chip, before packing.
Wooden cards are produced at an FSC certified facility (FSC-C195226), so a hotel can point to a certificate number, not a slogan.
Cards, fobs and accessories leave one building, made, encoded and packed to the order.
Most of a key card is PVC. Two of the materials we run change that and the rest do not, so here is the line between them.
A certificate is only worth anything if you can look it up. Here is the number for the wood cards, and here is the thing we will not send you a document for.
Wooden cards are produced at an FSC certified facility (FSC-C195226): the plant in Dongguan. The number can be checked at search.fsc.org, and the claim is stated on the documents for the orders it applies to.
The line is built for eight million cards a month and normal production runs below that, so the question is rarely whether the volume fits. It is which week your run lands in, and that goes in writing with the quote.
Material data sheets and the certifications that apply to a given order are issued with it, and go into the delivery dossier under your brand so they can be forwarded to your client untouched.
