❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Which chip should I select for an RFID membership card system?

If your cards interact with standard commercial POS readers or gym access gates, MIFARE Classic EV1 1K is the industry standard. If members need to tap their cards directly against standard smartphones without special hardware, NTAG213/215 is ideal. For multi-application closed-loop payment with financial-grade security, MIFARE DESFire EV3 is recommended.

Q2. Can the cards integrate both a magnetic stripe and an RFID chip?

Yes. We manufacture dual-interface hybrid cards featuring both an embedded 13.56 MHz RFID/NFC chip and a HiCo or LoCo magnetic stripe, ensuring backwards compatibility with legacy POS swipe terminals.

Q3. Can each card have unique variable data printed and encoded?

Yes. We support complete variable data personalization, including individual member names, unique sequential card numbers, laser-engraved chip UIDs, variable QR codes, and pre-programmed internal memory blocks.

Q4. What eco-friendly materials do you offer for sustainable brand initiatives?

In addition to standard PVC, we offer Recycled PVC (RPVC), Bio-PVC, Polycarbonate, biodegradable PLA (cornstarch-based polymer), and FSC-certified natural wood cards.

Q5. What OEM services does Union Smart provide for global distributors?

We provide full white-label OEM/ODM services: custom artwork printing, PMS pantone matching, custom surface treatments, chip data mapping files, and customized bulk packaging.
