🏢 MIFARE Card Printing – Which Method is Right for Your Business?

When it comes to MIFARE cards, the printing method you choose can make a big difference in quality, durability, and cost.

At East Point Trading, we work with two of the most trusted printing methods: Offset Printing and Thermal Transfer Printing. Here’s what you need to know:

🔹 Offset Printing


 

How it works:

  • Printed on PVC sheets before the MIFARE chip is embedded.

  • Laminated and cut into cards for a flawless finish.

✅ Advantages:

  • Premium, high-quality printing with accurate colors.

  • Ideal for large production runs (1,000 pcs and above).

  • Long-lasting and scratch-resistant.

⚠️ Considerations:

  • Higher setup cost.

  • Less practical for small quantities.

🔹 Thermal Transfer Printing


How it works:

  • Uses heat to transfer ink from a ribbon directly onto pre-made blank cards.

  • Great for personalization such as names, numbers, and barcodes.

✅ Advantages:

  • Fast, flexible, and cost-effective for small batches.

  • Perfect for ID cards and one-off personalization.

⚠️ Considerations:

  • Limited design capability.

  • Durability is lower compared to offset.

💡 Business Insight

  • Offset Printing → Best for corporate branding, loyalty programs, and high-volume projects.

  • Thermal Transfer Printing → Best for small batches, ID cards, and personalized data printing.

At East Point Trading, we guide our clients to the most suitable printing solution based on their needs—whether it’s large-scale card issuance or small personalized runs.

 Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) car park cards are widely used in modern parking systems for their convenience, long-range detection, and fast processing. These cards operate at frequencies between 860 MHz to 960 MHz , allowing vehicles to enter and exit parking facilities without physical contact. While UHF cards enhance efficiency, they also pose security risks—particularly cloning. In this post, we’ll explore how UHF car park cards work, their applications, and the risks associated with cloning them. How UHF Car Park Cards Work UHF RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) cards communicate with readers via electromagnetic waves. Here’s a simplified breakdown: Card Issuance – Each card has a unique ID or encrypted data linked to a user or vehicle. Reader Detection – When a car approaches, the UHF reader sends a signal to the card. Data Transmission – The card responds with its stored information, granting or denying access. Unlike LF (Low Frequency, 125 kHz) or HF (High Fre...
