Yes. Pricing scales with quantity — larger orders receive better per-unit pricing. We also offer annual supply agreements for institutions with recurring needs.

We accept bank wire transfer (T/T), PayPal, and letters of credit for large orders. Standard terms are 30% deposit with balance before shipment.

Product & Technology

We offer three frequency options: Low Frequency (125kHz) for basic access control, High Frequency (13.56MHz) for campus cards with NFC compatibility (MIFARE, DESFire), and Ultra-High Frequency (860-960MHz) for long-range applications like parking. Dual-frequency cards are also available.

Our cards follow ISO 14443 and ISO 15693 international standards, making them compatible with readers from HID, Honeywell, Allegion, ASSA ABLOY, and most other major access control manufacturers. We can also match specific chip types to your existing infrastructure.

We support MIFARE Classic 1K/4K, MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3, MIFARE Plus, HID iCLASS, EM4100/EM4200 (LF), and Impinj Monza (UHF). Custom chip programming and encoding is available for all chip types.

Our cards use PVC/PET laminated construction rated for 3-5 years of daily campus use. They withstand bending, moisture, UV exposure, and repeated tapping. Each card is tested to withstand over 100,000 read cycles.

Yes. A single RFID campus card can handle building access, library checkout, dining payments, attendance tracking, parking, and more. This unified approach is one of the key advantages of RFID campus systems.

Customization

Yes. We offer full-color offset and digital printing on both sides. Options include university logos, custom color schemes, photo ID printing, UV overlays, holograms, and variable data printing (unique student IDs, barcodes, QR codes).

Yes. We support high-resolution photo ID printing with UV overlay protection. We can print from your provided data files or supply blank cards for on-site printing with compatible card printers.

Beyond standard CR80 cards, we manufacture key fobs, wristbands, stickers, tags, and custom shapes. All form factors support the same RFID chip options as our standard cards.

Shipping & Lead Times

Standard products: 2-3 weeks from order confirmation. Custom solutions: 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. Express production is available for urgent orders at additional cost.

Yes. We ship worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS. Shipping costs are calculated based on order weight and destination. We handle all export documentation.

Yes. We provide free samples for qualified educational institutions. Sample kits include cards with different chip types and finishes so you can test compatibility with your existing systems.

Compliance & Security

Our manufacturing facility is ISO 9001 certified for quality management and ISO 14001 certified for environmental management. All products carry CE marking for EU compliance. Specific chip certifications (EAL5+, FIPS 140-2) are available upon request.

Cards using MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 chips offer AES-128 encryption, mutual authentication, and anti-cloning protection. Each card has a factory-programmed unique identifier that cannot be duplicated. For maximum security, we recommend DESFire EV3 with diversified keys.

Our cards are data carriers — FERPA compliance depends on your institution's data handling policies. We recommend storing minimal data on the card (unique ID only) with sensitive records kept in your campus management system. We can consult on best practices for compliant deployments.
