RFID Smart Card Printing
Over the years we must have printed every type of RFID card imaginable. The majority of our work is from repeat customers as our quality, customer service and prices are second to none.
All our RFID smart cards are printed in England and are solid, high quality plastic.
RFID Smart Card Printing
Our RFID smart cards are very durable as they are solid plastic and are printed in vibrant full colour (CMYK) on each side under the surface for maximum durability, plus you can choose a high gloss or premium matt finish.
We can help you by creating your artwork for you, or if you are supplying your own artwork we can check it for technical issues and fix them so they will print perfectly.
RFID smart cards embed a chip and antenna for contactless door access, attendance tracking, or cashless payment at an event or site — a step up from a barcode or magstripe card where tap-and-go speed or two-way data is needed. The chip type and frequency must match the reader hardware already installed, so it's worth confirming compatibility with your existing access-control or EPOS system before ordering.

Why Use Plastic RFID Cards?
Plastic RFID cards combine professional print quality with the technology your access control, loyalty, or membership system needs. Because the chip is embedded inside the card, there are no exposed contacts to wear out or fail — the card looks and functions like a standard plastic card, while doing considerably more.
The main advantage over basic swipe cards or paper alternatives is speed and security. A reader identifies an RFID card instantly without contact, without alignment, and without the cardholder needing to dig it out of a wallet. For high-traffic entry points — gyms, events, car parks, office buildings — that matters.
RFID cards are also considerably harder to clone than magnetic strip cards. Combined with sequential numbering or personalised variable data, each card can carry a unique identifier that ties to your system records, making unauthorised access or duplication much more difficult.
Common uses we print for:
Access control for offices, gyms, and leisure centres · Hotel key cards · Car park barriers · Library management · Student and staff ID cards · Membership schemes with combined access · Event passes with reader-based entry · Public transport and cashless payment systems · Loyalty schemes where one card handles access and rewards
Which chip do you need?
The most common types we supply are Mifare Classic 1K (the standard for most door entry and gym systems), Mifare Desfire (higher security, used in more complex access systems), HID (for corporate access control), and NTAG NFC chips (readable by smartphones as well as dedicated readers). If you're unsure which chip your system uses, send us the make and model of your reader or a photo of an existing card — we can usually identify it straight away.
RFID Card Printing FAQs
Can I supply my own artwork for RFID card printing?
Yes. We accept print-ready artwork and will check it for technical issues free of charge. If there are problems, we'll fix them before printing.
I don't know what chip is in my existing reader. Can you help?
Often yes. If you can tell us the make and model of your reader, or send us a photo of an existing card, we can usually identify the chip type needed.
Do you print single-sided or double-sided RFID cards?
Both sides are printed as standard — there's no extra charge for double-sided printing.
What is the minimum order quantity for RFID cards?
We handle both small and large runs. Request a quote with your required quantity and we'll come back to you, usually within 10 minutes during working hours.
How long does RFID card delivery take?
Turnaround depends on quantity and complexity. Contact us for current lead times.
Can RFID cards be used as loyalty or membership cards too?
Yes. Many of our customers use RFID cards as combined membership and access cards — one card does both jobs.
What's the difference between RFID and NFC?
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a subset of RFID operating at 13.56MHz. NFC cards (such as those with NTAG chips) can be read by smartphones as well as dedicated readers, making them useful for digital check-ins and smartphone-based loyalty schemes.
