What are RFID Cards and How Do RFID Systems Work?
RFID Cards (Radio Frequency Identification) are a contactless method for reading information. Our plastic ID cards are manufactured with a chip that contain all the necessary personal information. This is then transmitted wirelessly and is picked up by an RFID reader.
RFID or Contactless cards, as they are commonly known, are becoming increasingly popular for use as identification, access control and security passes.
Unlike traditional magnetic stripe or barcoded cards which need to be swiped or scanned for the card reader to be activated, contactless cards require only close proximity to the reader to complete transaction – they are convenient, quick (and handy if you have your hands full).
Here at Swype we have the ability to produce your RFID cards in full colour digital print. No surface printing or thermal transfer – these cards are digitally printed directly on to the plastic core of the card and protected underneath the PVC laminate overlay.
This method of printing allows the plastic cards to be personalised – with a name, number or in the case of identity cards with a full colour photograph of the card holder.
If brand image is important to your company and you require the best then speak to our friendly sales consultants today regarding your RFID Cards needs. You may also be interested in our NFC business cards.
