How Are RFID Cards Made?
RFID cards are made by combining several layers of materials and components into a single card. The main components of an RFID card are:
• An antenna: This is a thin coil of wire or metal that acts as the transmitter and receiver of radio signals between the card and the reader.
• A chip: This is a small integrated circuit that contains the memory and the logic of the card.
• A substrate: This is a plastic or paper layer that supports the antenna and the chip.
• A cover: This is a plastic or paper layer that protects the card from physical damage and environmental factors.
The process of making an RFID card involves several steps:
• Designing: This is the stage where the specifications of the card are determined, such as the size, shape, color, logo, text, barcode, hologram, etc.
• Printing: This is the stage where the cover layer of the card is printed with the desired design using a printer or a press.
• Laminating: This is the stage where the substrate layer of the card is laminated with a thin film of plastic or adhesive to make it smooth and flat.
• Embedding: This is the stage where the antenna and the chip are embedded into the substrate layer of the card using a machine or a manual process.
• Bonding: This is the stage where the cover layer and the substrate layer of the card are bonded together using heat, pressure, or glue.
• Cutting: This is the stage where the card is cut into the final shape and size using a cutter or a die.
• Testing: This is the stage where the card is tested for its functionality, quality, and performance using a reader or a tester.
Conclusion:
RFID cards are cards that use radio frequency identification technology to store and transmit data wirelessly. RFID cards can be used for various applications, such as access control system, identification, payment, and tracking. RFID cards can be classified into different categories based on their frequency, memory, and security.
RFID NFC cards are a special type of RFID cards that use near-field communication technology to enable data exchange, peer-to-peer communication, and device pairing.
RFID S50 cards are a specific type of RFID NFC cards that use the MIFARE Classic protocol and have a memory capacity of 1 KB. RFID cards are made by combining several layers of materials and components into a single card. The process of making an RFID card involves several steps, such as designing, printing, laminating, embedding, bonding, cutting, and testing.
