Having RFID cards printed
If you want employee cards, customer cards or payment cards to offer smart functions, you need RFID cards. At print24.com you can have your individually customised RFID cards printed, on both sides and using the CMYK four-colour method. With just a few clicks you can put together your printing request here online, and order fastening accessories or protective covers for them if you like as well. In our printing shop, you can have RFID cards printed with your motifs. Many companies have the cards printed in their corporate design.
RFID cards have many benefits for their users. Thanks to "radio frequency identification" technology, these ID cards no longer have to be inserted into a scanning device, you just hold them within 10 centimetres of a receiver, which reads the cards using a frequency of 13.56 megahertz. The integrated chip means user data can be stored on the RFID card. This kind of chip card can also be used for micropayment systems, where users can have money credited to the card that they then spend in stores or the canteen. Many people in Germany have been using this payment system for years now already. RFID cards are also great as public transport tickets. Modern transport companies around the world work with the close-range transmitter technology.

Options for your RFID cards
We use the tried-and-trusted manufacturer NXP when printing RFID cards. Its product is called the MIFARE® Classic 1K, has the standard format of 85.6 x 54 millimetres and boasts reliable functionality and quality material. Robust, white PVC is used for the cards, finished with a laminated surface.
You can add to the function or read-out options of your RFID cards in the configurator by equipping them with a low-coercivity magnetic stripe. That makes a lot of sense if the card is to be used by more than one provider, not all of which have an RFID reader at their disposal, but merely a magnetic stripe scanner. You can also add a signature field to your RFID cards as an additional identification option. Simply select what you need online.
Versatile printing method
We print your RFID cards using the CMYK procedure. This gives you the greatest possible freedom of motifs. You can use the additional special colour silver too. It is perfect as a background colour for debit cards, for example.
We recommend you have us create a screen proof for you before going to print. For a minimal fee we prepare a digital preview of your RFID card and store the file in your customer account. You view the result on your computer monitor and can decide whether to go ahead with the print run or modify it. Screen proofs make a lot of sense if you are having a lot of cards printed.
RFID cards printed from 25 cards upwards
We print your RFID cards in print runs as small as 25 units. That makes our print offer ideal for small companies and groups that want to work with smart card technology. Of course, as one of Europe's largest printing companies, it is just as easy for you to order up to 50,000 printed plastic cards from us in one order as well. Have your RFID cards printed in outstanding print and material quality – at print24.com!
We will also be happy to prepare other plastic cards for you such as magnetic stripe cards or membership cards.
