How to Choose the Meterial to Make the Suitable RFID Card

Time : 2024-06-14

When making the RFID cards, we can choose the PVC, PETG, PET or PC material to make the cards.

PVC card consists of the PVC material ,chip and antenna. PVC material, or polyvinyl chloride.serves as the core material for PVC inlay.

PVC sheet is a special material used to form the middle layer or inlay of PVC cards. It is usually made of high-quality PVC material and is designed to provide stability, strength and flexibility to the card. The PVC sheet acts as a solid foundation to ensure the longevity of the card and resistance to bending or breaking.

The Characteristics of PVC RFID card

  • Flexibility

The PVC material maintains the card's flexibility, allowing it to bend without breaking. This feature is especially important for cards that need to be swiped or inserted into a card reader.

  • Printing

PVC material can be printing and high-quality print the images,text and other design elements on the card’s surfaces.

  • Durability

The PVC material has an optimal density, striking a balance between rigidity and flexibility. This property enables the cards to withstand daily wear and tear.

The Characteristics of PETG RFID card

  • Reduction in Environmental Impact

PETG (polyethylene terephthalate-copolymer) has a number of environmentally friendly properties, making it an ideal environmentally friendly material. First, the chemical composition of PETG is mainly composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which is similar to the chemical composition of paper, which means that when PETG products are discarded, they can be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide through natural processes and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment. Secondly, PETG meets food contact management requirements, which means that it can be safely used in food packaging and other applications that come into direct contact with food without releasing harmful substances.

  • Excellent printing quality.

PETG is the more rigid and transparent material. PETG sheets provide exceptional print clarity and color vibrancy, making them an ideal choice for high-resolution printing. Whether it's intricate designs, sharp text, or vibrant images, PETG cards deliver impressive print quality that enhances the overall appearance of the card.

 

The Characteristic of PET RFID cards

PET is a material, a white plastic card similar to PVC (for hotel cards, VIP cards), but its properties are slightly different from PVC. PVC is more brittle and will crack if bent, while PET is more resilient and not easy to crack.PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) cards are similar to PVC cards, but are more environmentally friendly and more wear-resistant. They are suitable for a variety of applications, such as membership cards, access cards, and key cards.

 

The Characteristics of PC RFID card

Polycarbonate (PC) Overlay is most reliable and secure material. When making the RFID PC card, it has the characteristics of high durability and impact resistance. And the PC material often be conducted on various materials by laser engraving.

  • Clarity

The film's exceptional transparency allows for clear visibility of the underlying surface and engravings, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the final product.

  • Durability

The hotel cards, access cards and other RFID cards are often wear and tear daily. The PC (Polycarbonate care sheet) has high scratch resistance and maintain their appearance after long-time using.  

Each material has its own characteristics and advantages. We need to consider the function of the material, the cost, the process required on the card, the scrap rate of the card and other factors to decide which material to use.
