MIFARE Classic® Cards

OEM RFID Card Manufacturing for Access Control, Transit, Membership, and Closed-Loop Systems

Product Overview

MIFARE Classic® EV1 cards are 13.56 MHz contactless smart credentials engineered for existing RFID installations that continue to depend on the MIFARE Classic ecosystem. They are broadly utilized by B2B purchasers seeking a dependable, interoperable, and economical card platform for access management, employee identification, public transportation, campus programs, reward schemes, and other closed-loop applications.

For wholesalers, system integrators, solution suppliers, and brand proprietors, the primary difficulty is not merely procuring cards, but procuring cards that function reliably at scale, align with current reader environments, and can be tailored for various client initiatives. Our OEM production service resolves that issue by providing consistent lot manufacturing, bespoke printing and programming, and logistics-compatible documentation for global sourcing.

Whether you require unprinted cards for redistribution, branded cards for a client implementation, or pre-encoded cards for a coordinated launch, we supply a fabrication workflow built for recurring purchases, traceability, and incorporation into your business-to-business supply network.

Core Features

1. Factory-Direct Pricing
Engage straight with the manufacturing origin, bypassing trading firms and intermediary surcharges. This maintains low sourcing expenses and fully clear pricing throughout every project phase.

2. Rapid Prototyping & Global Market Alignment
We operate swiftly, free of administrative holdups. Fast sample production and iteration cycles assist overseas engineers and procurement teams to test, validate, and roll out solutions at the pace of the market.

3. Complete In-House Oversight & Rigorous Quality Assurance for Lot Uniformity
From base materials to finished card, every stage operates within a single closed-cycle system. Fully automated inspection and read/write verification guarantee virtually defect-free output and stable quality from one lot to the next — because consistency matters as much as cost in recurring orders.

4. High-Volume Capacity & Adaptable Scalability
Driven by a demonstrated capability of 12 million units per month, we possess the industrial strength for extensive global deployments. Yet, our production lines remain nimble enough to fluidly accommodate your small initial pilot batches.

5. Supply-Chain-Ready Manufacturing
We go beyond basic casings. Our engineering team delivers in-depth technical customization, including complex data encoding (such as MIFARE® variants), precision antenna tuning, and ruggedized encapsulation for demanding, application-specific environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide samples and complimentary samples?
Yes. We accommodate sample requests for product evaluation and compatibility testing. Complimentary samples may be available depending on the project, quantity, and cooperation scope.

What is your minimum order quantity and lead time?
MOQ and lead time depend on the card type, personalization level, printing requirements, and encoding needs. Unprinted cards can typically be delivered faster than fully customized printed and encoded cards.

Can you provide product testing and batch traceability?
Yes. We support production testing, encoding verification, and batch traceability records. If needed, we can supply a test summary or inspection record for your internal review.

How do you handle quality concerns?
If a quality issue is reported, we review the batch details, inspect the production record, and identify the root cause. Depending on the case, we can support replacement, rework, or corrective action based on the agreed terms.

Is the product compatible with existing infrastructure?
MIFARE Classic EV1 is commonly used in legacy MIFARE Classic environments. However, final compatibility depends on the reader model, system configuration, and encoding requirements. We recommend sample testing before volume production for new projects.
