What Is an Ultrathin PET RFID Card?

An ultrathin PET RFID card is a slim contactless smart card made with PET material and an embedded RFID chip. It communicates with a compatible reader through radio frequency technology, enabling contactless identification or data interaction according to the selected chip and system configuration.

The Kaisere Ultrathin PET RFID Card combines a slim physical format with HF 13.56 MHz technology. Its listed applications include transportation payment systems, metro cards and ticketing. The product is also presented for contactless access and card-based payment or loyalty applications.

For B2B buyers, the main selection criteria are card thickness, chip type, reader compatibility, printing requirements and the physical specifications required by the intended application.

This product provides a defined starting point for projects that need a slim PET RFID card with custom printing and specific contactless chip options.

Technical Specifications of the Ultrathin PET RFID Card

The following table summarizes the product specifications.

These specifications help procurement teams assess the card's physical dimensions, chip options and operating environment before placing an order.

For system-specific projects, the chip model, communication requirements and reader compatibility should form part of the technical specification. This helps align the selected card with the intended application and avoids unnecessary changes during project implementation.

Applications in Transportation Cards and Contactless Systems

Transportation Payment and Metro Cards

The ultrathin PET RFID card is suited to transportation payment and metro card projects requiring a slim contactless card format. Card dimensions, chip configuration and printing can be incorporated into the project specification for transportation operators, system integrators and card program suppliers.

Ticketing and Transit Programs

Contactless cards support ticketing programs in which a compatible reader interacts with the card's chip. The selected chip and system configuration determine the available functions, including the applicable identification or data operations.

For transit projects, buyers should define the required card technology, operating environment and system compatibility before production.

Contactless Access Applications

The PET card format is also presented for contactless access applications. System integrators can specify the required chip and card configuration based on the access control platform and reader requirements.

Payment and Loyalty Card Programs

Custom printed cards support branded card programs for businesses and service providers. CMYK offset printing and Pantone colors provide options for presenting brand graphics and project-specific artwork.

The final card configuration should match the intended application, system requirements and approved design specifications.

Which Chips and RFID Systems Are Supported?

The listed chip options for this ultrathin PET RFID card include MIFARE Classic 1K/4K and MIFARE Ultralight EV1.

Chip selection is important because different RFID systems use different protocols, memory structures, security functions and data configurations. The same operating frequency does not guarantee compatibility with every reader or application.

When preparing a project quotation, provide the following information:

lRequired chip model

lExisting reader or system type

lRequired communication protocol or technical standard

lEncoding, card numbering or personalization requirements

lIntended application and operating environment

This information helps align the card specification with the receiving system and supports a more efficient technical discussion before bulk production.

Custom Printing and PET RFID Card Configuration

Kaisere Ultrathin PET RFID Cards support full-color CMYK offset printing and Pantone colors.

Custom printing allows brands, transportation programs, distributors and system integrators to incorporate their own visual identity into a card program. Artwork, colors and product specifications can be organized as part of the order requirements.

The card configuration process covers the key information procurement teams need to define before production:

lCard dimensions and thickness

lRequired chip model

lPrinting artwork and color requirements

lEncoding or personalization specifications

lPackaging and labeling requirements

lOrder quantity and destination country

Providing these details at the quotation stage helps align the commercial offer with the technical and visual requirements of the project.

Quality Control and Product Specification Management

Consistent card specifications are important for bulk orders, especially when projects have defined requirements for thickness, printing, chip configuration and contactless performance.

For procurement projects, the product specification should define the applicable inspection criteria for:

lCard dimensions and thickness

lPrinting appearance and artwork

lChip model and configuration

lRFID function and encoding requirements

lFinished-card appearance and packaging

lOrder-specific acceptance requirements

Clear inspection requirements help align sample approval, production specifications and the final delivery criteria.

For project-specific requirements, buyers can include test procedures, acceptance tolerances and any required inspection documentation in their RFQ. This creates a clearer basis for evaluating the delivered products against the agreed order specification.

Certifications and Compliance Documentation

Supplier documentation helps procurement teams assess manufacturing arrangements and determine whether a product meets their project requirements.

Kaisere Technology provides a company Certificate section where buyers can review the available certification information.

For projects with defined compliance requirements, procurement teams should identify the relevant standard, certificate scope and required supporting documents during supplier evaluation.

Product requirements can differ between transportation programs, access control systems and other smart card applications. The applicable documents should therefore correspond to the actual product, production scope and intended market.

Production Planning and Bulk Order Support

Successful bulk procurement starts with a clearly defined product specification.

Kaisere supports B2B discussions covering the key information needed to prepare an order quotation and production plan.

Information Required for a Bulk Quotation

The quotation process brings these requirements together so that the commercial proposal addresses the requested card configuration and delivery scope.

Minimum order quantity, sample arrangements, production lead time and final quotation depend on the selected configuration and order requirements and are addressed during the quotation process.

Global Shipping and Export Support

Kaisere Technology serves customers in more than 100 countries and regions and has 23 years of export experience.

For international RFID card orders, procurement teams can provide the destination country, required delivery schedule, packaging specifications and preferred shipping arrangements as part of the RFQ.

The order discussion covers the applicable shipping method, export documentation, packaging requirements and agreed delivery terms. Providing the destination and order details at the beginning of the process helps establish a clear delivery plan for international procurement.

For repeat orders and ongoing supply programs, keeping the approved specifications and packaging requirements consistent helps align subsequent orders with the established project requirements.
