RFID · CONTACTLESS · ACCESS CONTROL
RFID, contactless and system-linked card requirements.
For RFID, contactless, access-control or system-linked cards, the card specification must match the system in which it will be used. Your POS, access-control or system provider will normally confirm the required credential and integration details.

- The relevant card or credential specification must be confirmed.
- Encoding requirements may need coordination with the system supplier.

Questions
Useful plastic-card questions
What information do you need to quote plastic cards?
Start with the intended use, approximate quantity, artwork status, required date, delivery location and any personalisation, finish or system requirements already known. The team can identify what still needs to be confirmed.
Can every card be individually personalised?
Individual names, numbers, photos, codes or variable text may be possible when the chosen card and production method support them. The changing fields, source records and approval process are confirmed for the job.
Can you print barcodes, QR codes or membership numbers?
These can be discussed as variable or static card elements. The content, generation method, artwork position, record source and testing responsibility need to be agreed.
Can you produce magnetic-stripe cards?
Magnetic-stripe cards can be discussed where supported for the job. The stripe, system, data, encoding and compatibility responsibilities must be confirmed before scope is agreed.
Can you produce RFID or contactless cards?
Print.org.nz can discuss the physical card-production requirements. The relevant credential, encoding and compatibility details must be confirmed with the customer’s POS, access-control or system supplier.
Who confirms compatibility with our POS or access-control system?
The customer’s POS, access-control or system provider normally confirms the required credential and wider integration. Print.org.nz can liaise on practical card-production details without taking ownership of the wider system.
Can you work with artwork supplied by our designer or print reseller?
Yes. Supplied artwork can be checked and prepared against the confirmed card format, with the customer’s designer, agency or reseller involved where appropriate.
Can you help prepare artwork for plastic-card production?
The team can discuss checking, preparing or adapting supplied files for the selected card format. The required dimensions, printed sides, finish, variable content and other production details are confirmed first.
