RFID Cards
As the name suggests, the RFID cards do not directly come in contact with the card. These cards have an antenna built in the card.
The antenna of the RFID cards is used to communicate to the card reader for reading and writing data on the card. The working of these cards is based on radio frequency identification technology. These cards are used as parking cards, student identification and electronics passports.

Increasingly with multiple application running on the same smart card BSD Infotech has perfected the art of creating a single card with Dual Inlays which are also known as multi frequency cards. So a single card could contain a HF Inlay for secure transactions and the limitation of being read over a distance could be achieved by a UHF Inlay.
RFID cards can be customized with many of the same options and features available on our standard plastic cards. They include the following:
- Full color process on one or both sides
- Thermal printing of text, name, PIN numbers or automated lists may be printed directly on each piece.
- Embossing with gold, silver, or black tipping (other colors available for 5k or more).
- Hole punching – slot, round, various sizes and shapes are available.
- Sequential numbering or individual serial numbering with provided database.
- Signature and custom signature panels are available
- Scratch-off overlay panels for special promotions and contests.
- Hi-Co or Lo-Co Magnetic stripe encoding on tracks 1, 2, or 3.
- Bar coding in multiple formats available.
- Multiple finishes like Matte, Frosted, or UV coated.
- White stock PVC, Clear, or Frosted Clear.
- Foil Stamping in gold or silver for a brilliant attraction.
- Metallic colors in gold or silver for a sparkling look.
