MIFARE Plus® Series Cards

The Migration Card Family That Moves from Strategy to Production-Ready Reality

Product Overview

MIFARE Plus® Series Card is a protected contactless smart credential family engineered for organisations seeking to transition from established MIFARE Classic installations without replacing their entire infrastructure. It represents a sensible option for access management, transport, loyalty, campus identification, hospitality, and other extensive credentialing programmes where interoperability, migration velocity, and enhanced security are all essential. NXP characterises MIFARE Plus as a product line designed to add protection to current contactless installations while providing a cost-efficient pathway to elevated security tiers.

As an OEM producer, we convert that migration plan into manufacturing-ready execution. We provide MIFARE Plus SE, S, and X cards pre-set for Classic compatibility mode, ensuring new credentials function immediately with current readers. We also pre-inject AES keys and sector profiles at our plant, allowing the security enhancement to occur seamlessly on your schedule, without on-site reconfiguration and with minimal disruption. Supported by internal volume production across all three variants, we deliver uniform chip procurement, steady high-volume encoding yields, and consistent personalisation quality — so every card performs identically, every order repeats dependably, and your credential programme remains on time and on brand.

Core Features

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

2. Agile Prototyping & Global Market Alignment
We operate swiftly, free of administrative hold-ups. Rapid sampling and iteration cycles assist overseas engineers and sourcing teams to test, verify, and roll out solutions at market speed.

3. Complete In‑House Oversight & Strict QA for Lot Uniformity
From base materials to final card, every phase runs within a single closed‑cycle system. 100% automated inspection and read/write testing guarantee virtually defect‑free output and stable quality lot after lot — because consistency is equally as vital as cost in recurring orders.

4. High‑Volume Capacity & Adaptable Scalability
Backed by a demonstrated capability of 12 million units monthly, we have the industrial strength for massive global deployments. Yet, our production lines stay nimble enough to seamlessly accommodate your small initial pilot batches.

5. Supply‑Chain‑Ready Manufacturing
We go beyond simple casings. Our engineering team provides deep technical customisation, including complex data encoding (such as MIFARE® variants), precision antenna tuning, and ruggedised encapsulation for demanding, application-specific environments.

OEM Production & Quality Assurance

Factory Compliance
Our OEM manufacturing is conducted under a quality-centred production system with documentation support for:

• ISO 9001 quality management

• RoHS-compliant material choices

• FSC-certified paper packaging accessible upon request

• Additional compliance documentation can be arranged based on your market and project needs

Product Verification & Lot Control

Product Testing
We employ a multi-stage inspection procedure to support stable output and minimise batch variation:

• Pre-production sample verification

• In-process inspection during manufacturing

• Final inspection before dispatch

• Encoding verification for personalised cards

• Random sampling for batch consistency checks

• Appearance, print alignment, and readability checks

Yield & Lot Stability
Our production process is engineered to help customers obtain repeatable results across large orders, with attention to:

• Card readability

• Chip and UID consistency

• Encoding accuracy

• Printing alignment and surface quality

• Lot-to-lot stability for reorder programmes

Production Capacity

• Monthly capacity: 12 million cards

• Scalable production for larger recurring programmes

• Emergency and expedited production support available for qualified projects

Supply Chain Continuity
We uphold a steady OEM supply chain for recurring B2B orders, including:

• Controlled material sourcing

• Repeatable chip and substrate supply planning

• Traceable production records

• Support for forecast-based replenishment

• Consistent documentation for repeat orders and project deployments

Sample Testing & Pilot Runs
We support:

• Sample verification before full order placement

• Small-batch trial runs for new projects

• Compatibility checks with customer readers and infrastructure

• Pre-production review for technical validation

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, personalisation level, printing requirements, and encoding needs. Unprinted cards can typically be delivered faster than fully customised printed and encoded cards.

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

How do you manage quality concerns?
If a quality issue is reported, we review the lot 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 Plus® cards are engineered to facilitate migration from numerous MIFARE Classic® installations, however final compatibility hinges on reader firmware, security configuration, and backend architecture. Sample testing prior to volume deployment is strongly advised.
