RFID Card Suppliers FAQs

What types of RFID cards do you supply?

Do you have a minimum order quantity for RFID cards?

No. Swype has no minimum order quantity. Whether you need 10 cards or 100,000, we’ll fulfil your order with the same level of quality and service. This makes us ideal for small businesses, short-run projects and ongoing top-up orders alike.
Will your RFID cards work with my existing access control system?

In most cases, yes. We supply cards across the most common RFID frequencies and chip configurations used in UK access control installations, including systems by Paxton and SALTO. If you share your system details when requesting a quote, we’ll confirm compatibility and recommend the correct card specification.
How long does it take to receive custom RFID cards?

Lead times depend on your order volume and specification. Standard custom-printed RFID cards are typically dispatched within 5–10 working days. For urgent orders, please contact us directly and we’ll do our best to accommodate your timeline.
Can you encode RFID cards before dispatch?

Yes. We offer pre-encoding services so that your cards arrive ready to use. Just provide your system’s encoding requirements when placing your order and our team will handle the rest.
Are you a UK-based RFID card supplier?

Yes. Swype is proudly UK-based and UK-owned. Our manufacturing, printing and encoding operations are all carried out in the United Kingdom, which means faster lead times, no import delays and a dedicated support team you can actually call. When you order from Swype, you’re working directly with a British RFID card supplier, not an overseas reseller.
What complementary products can you provide alongside RFID cards?

We also supply lanyards, card holders, retractable badge reels, cardholders with RFID-blocking pockets, desktop card printers and encoding hardware – making Swype a complete one-stop supplier for your access card programme.
