Smart Cards
Smart cards, also known as chip cards, are highly customizable and can be used to store a wide range of data. They are typically constructed with an IC chip embedded inside a plastic membership or ID card and can use direct insertion or short-range wireless communication technology (such as RFID and NFC) for their functions. Examples of custom NFC smart cards include payment cards that communicate directly with the terminal for making payments, security cards used for access control to restricted areas, and library cards with preloaded points that can be used to borrow library materials.
Moreover, a custom smart card can even be programmed to auto-top after reaching a certain threshold, allowing for multiple transactions in one go. This makes an NFC card extremely useful for streamlining processes and increasing efficiency in various industries.
In addition, NFC cards are also much more secure than previous non-smartcard options; digital data stored within the card is protected by several layers of encryption so it cannot be replicated or manipulated without proper authorization.
Overall, a smart card offers tremendous possibilities in terms of convenience, flexibility, and security. With their sophisticated features and custom design capabilities, they could prove invaluable in many sectors today.
Types of Smart Cards
There are several types of smart cards. They are classified according to the way of card reading and writing, chip type, and function. Including contactless smart cards and contact smart cards.
Contactless smart cards
Contactless smart cards are generally the same size as a credit card or other custom sizes. It is a contactless card with an embedded RFID transponder that uses radio frequency technology to interact with the reader. The RFID chip inside can store data and communicate with the terminal via NFC. Usually, it is used for recharge, ticket, access control, identity authentication, etc.
Contact smart card
As the most common smart card, the contact smart card contains a single embedded integrated circuit chip. The chip contains only memory or a microprocessor. In order to realize the transmission of commands and data, the contact card needs to be inserted into the smart card reader. There are a variety of contact smart cards to choose from, depending on the amount of data you need to store and the level of security you need. All of our custom contact smart cards are printed and manufactured according to ISO standards.
