Frequently Asked Questions

Our standard MOQ is 500 cards for recycled PVC and bio cards. Wooden cards have a lower MOQ of 250 pieces. For custom OEM/ODM solutions, MOQ varies depending on specifications. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Submit a quote request through our contact form with your requirements: card type, quantity, chip preference, branding needs, and any network integration details. We respond within 24 hours with a detailed proposal including pricing tiers.

Yes. Pricing scales with quantity — larger orders receive better per-unit pricing. We also offer annual supply agreements for charging network operators with recurring card needs, providing predictable budgeting and priority production scheduling.

We accept bank wire transfer (T/T), PayPal, and letters of credit for large orders. Standard terms are 30% deposit with balance before shipment. For established partners, we offer NET 30 payment terms.

Most EV charging credentials use 13.56 MHz contactless technology. Available options include UID-oriented credentials, legacy sector-memory credentials, AES-authenticated applications and NFC-enabled chips, plus selected 125 kHz or dual-frequency constructions for defined legacy requirements.

OCPP compliance alone does not determine card compatibility. The card does not speak OCPP: the reader obtains an identifier or authenticates a supported application, and the charge point sends the resulting token to its backend. We confirm the reader technology, identifier format and backend route, then validate finished samples on representative stations.

Common options include UID-oriented 13.56 MHz credentials, legacy sector-memory credentials, AES-authenticated multi-application credentials and NFC-enabled chips. The choice depends on reader support, identifier format, memory, provisioning and whether the system authenticates a protected application or reads only a public UID.

Service life depends on the card-body material, inlay, print method, coating, handling and exposure. We recommend a construction for the intended environment and confirm the applicable physical and RF tests in the approved sample specification rather than applying one lifetime claim to every card type.

RFID and ISO 15118 Plug and Charge are separate authorization paths that may coexist. RFID normally identifies a token or account through the station reader; Plug and Charge uses vehicle and charging-system certificates. Support depends on the station, vehicle, backend and operator configuration.

AES authentication helps when the reader verifies a protected application and the operator securely manages its keys. Reading only a public UID does not authenticate that application, even if the chip supports AES.

13.56 MHz is high frequency (HF); 125 kHz is low frequency (LF). A reader must support the selected frequency, chip protocol and identifier format. Security depends on the chip and how the reader uses it, not on frequency alone. Confirm requirements with a finished sample.

The reader obtains the configured identifier or verifies a supported protected application. The charge point sends the token to its management system through OCPP; that system decides whether charging is authorized. The card itself does not run OCPP.

The chip and antenna form an inlay matched to the reader frequency and card construction. Antenna material and geometry vary by specification. Validate the finished card on the intended reader, including its print, coating and any nearby metal.

ISO/IEC 7810 covers card dimensions; ISO/IEC 14443 covers proximity contactless communication at 13.56 MHz. OCPP, OCPI and OICP govern charging-system or roaming exchanges. None guarantees that a particular card works with every reader or network.

A dual-frequency card contains separate chip-and-antenna systems, such as 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz. Specify both reader types and identifier formats, then test the finished sample. Two frequencies do not guarantee compatibility across an entire installation.

A protected AES application can resist copying when the reader authenticates it and keys are securely managed. Treat a public UID as copyable. UID-based programmes also need token revocation, usage limits and anomaly monitoring in the management system.

Read distance depends on the reader, antenna, card construction, surrounding materials and installation. Test the finished card on the intended reader; a frequency or ISO label alone does not guarantee a particular distance.

Personalization may record a UID mapping, write an agreed identifier or configure a protected application. Agree the chip, data format, access conditions, key handling and acceptance tests before production. A factory UID is not necessarily rewritable.

Agree the dimensions, artwork, identifier format and electronic acceptance tests in the order specification. Review a finished sample and define the required inspection records, batch checks and any per-card tests. The inspection scope depends on the approved construction.

A recycled-PVC card body can reduce virgin plastic use. The recycled proportion, layers, chip, antenna and finish are defined for your order. Ask for the material documentation and approve finished samples for durability, print and reader performance; there is no single recycled-content percentage or performance guarantee for every construction.

Yes. Our wooden RFID cards are manufactured from FSC-certified cherry wood or bamboo, ensuring the wood comes from responsibly managed forests. Each batch includes FSC chain-of-custody documentation for your sustainability reporting.

A bio-fibre card body does not establish that the complete RFID card is biodegradable or compostable. The finished card also contains electronics and bonding materials. Request evidence for the exact construction and use the locally accepted collection route.

Environmental impact depends on the final construction, supplier records, transport and order scope. We can provide relevant material and sourcing documentation for recycled PVC, eligible FSC wood and bio-based options. Validate any environmental claim against the evidence available for the exact quoted product.

Yes. We offer full-color offset and digital printing on both sides of PVC and bio cards. Options include network logos, custom color schemes, QR codes, serial numbers, and variable data printing. Wooden cards support laser engraving and single-color print for branding.

Yes. We offer chip programming and encoding services including UID assignment, sector key configuration, application data writing, and NDEF formatting for NFC cards. We can program cards to your charging network's specifications for plug-and-play deployment.

Beyond standard CR80 cards, we manufacture RFID key fobs, wristbands, windshield tags (for fleet vehicles), and custom shapes. All form factors support the same RFID chip options and can be branded to your network identity.

Yes. We can define the identifier file, numbering and provisioning handoff for the operator's existing technical and commercial connections. The operator or platform owner remains responsible for activating tokens, roaming routes and authorization rules; the finished card is sample-tested before production.

Standard recycled PVC and bio cards: 2-3 weeks from order confirmation. Wooden cards: 3-4 weeks. RFID keyfobs: 3-5 weeks. Custom OEM/ODM solutions: 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. Express production is available for urgent orders at additional cost.

Yes. We ship worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS with full tracking. Shipping costs are calculated based on order weight and destination. We handle all export documentation and customs declarations. Most European and North American deliveries arrive within 5-7 business days.

Yes. We provide sample kits for qualified charging network operators and fleet managers. Sample kits include cards with different materials (recycled PVC, wood, bio) and chip types so you can test compatibility with your charging stations and backend systems.
