❓ FAQs：

Q1. What is MIFARE Ultralight used for?

Low-cost NFC applications — event ticketing, transit passes, anti-counterfeiting labels, membership cards, and e-tickets where cost and compatibility are the priority.

Q2. Which Ultralight model should I choose?

EV1 for basic ticketing with no encryption. Ultralight C for 3DES entry-level security. Ultralight AES for AES-128 anti-cloning protection. Nano for ultra-thin or space-constrained hardware.

Q3. How is MIFARE Ultralight different from MIFARE Classic?

Ultralight is for low-cost, limited-use applications (e.g. single-trip tickets) with smaller memory. MIFARE Classic has more memory and suits reusable access control and multi-application cards.

Q4. Is it compatible with smartphones?

Yes. ISO/IEC 14443 Type A at 13.56MHz — compatible with Android and iPhone 7+ without a dedicated reader.

Q5. Can I customize the card with my branding?

Yes. Full custom printing on both sides — logo, artwork, serial number, QR code. Multiple materials and finishes available.

Q6. Do you offer OEM or white-label manufacturing?

Yes. Full OEM/ODM service — chip selection, encoding, custom printing, branded packaging. Your brand, no mention of us.
