Irregular Card Inlay Types

1 Irregular inlay specifications

Frequency 13.56MHz (LF options available). Antenna: coil diameter 10-40 mm or 20-60 mm length/width, adapted to the shape. Thickness 0.50-0.02 mm; COB/MOA4 strip builds 0.35-0.38 mm. Substrate PVC. Process: single-side or double-side avoidance film with high-temperature steel-plate direct pressing. Trimmed reference edges with optional cross marks.

2 Designing a non-standard shape

Because the body is smaller than a standard card, the antenna is redesigned to fit the outline while keeping read/write performance, and the layout is planned around where the card will be punched. Send the finished shape, size, chip and target read range, and we will design an antenna and inlay thickness that laminate and die-cut cleanly.

How Ordering Works

  4. 4 7–15 business days

    Production & delivery

    Standard lead time for stock tooling (custom molds add time — confirmed on your quote), then door-to-door express with tracking to your office or warehouse.

Large runs (>100k units) or orders with complex encoding / custom molds may take 15–25 business days.

Can Irregular Card Inlay be customized for my brand or project? +

Yes. Irregular Card Inlay supports end-to-end customization: full-color CMYK / silk-screen / UV printing, laser engraving, serial numbering, custom chip encoding (UID write, NDEF, sector locking), custom shape / size (subject to tooling MOQ), and packaging. Share your artwork, chip requirement and quantity and we will return a spec sheet + price within 24 hours.

Is Irregular Card Inlay compatible with my existing reader or system? +

Compatibility depends on the frequency band (LF 125 kHz / HF 13.56 MHz / UHF 860–960 MHz) and chip family used by your reader or installed system. Send a photo of your current card / reader model and we will recommend the matching chip + test a sample before bulk order.

What certifications and quality control does RFIDAK apply to Irregular Card Inlay? +

RFIDAK operates under ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), audited by SGS. Irregular Card Inlay is subject to incoming material inspection, in-process QC at every lamination / bonding / encoding step, and 100% electrical performance testing before shipment. Products meet CE, FCC, RoHS and REACH as applicable by market. Full test reports are available on request for buyer audits.

Can Irregular Card Inlay be pre-encoded or printed with my artwork before shipment? +

Yes. Irregular Card Inlay can ship with UID range assignment, NDEF URL encoding (for NFC), sector-locked user data, serial numbering, and CMYK / silk-screen / UV printing of your artwork. Provide an AI/PDF artwork file at 300 dpi with 3 mm bleed and a chip-encoding spec; we return a digital proof for approval before production.

How does RFIDAK ship Irregular Card Inlay internationally? +

RFIDAK ships Irregular Card Inlay via DHL / FedEx / UPS (door-to-door, 3–5 days to most countries), air cargo (5–7 days for heavier orders), or sea freight (20–35 days for bulk over 500 kg).

How does RFIDAK handle repeat orders of Irregular Card Inlay? +

For repeat buyers, RFIDAK locks tooling, artwork and chip encoding on file so subsequent POs ship faster — typically 5–10 business days for stock chip types at previously-run quantities. Price is adjusted transparently per chip market rate and FX movement; we flag any chip shortage (e.g., DESFire EV3) before quotation so the project plan stays realistic.

What are the technical specifications of Irregular Card Inlay? +

Key Irregular Card Inlay specs: frequency 13.56 MHz (LF options available). A full technical datasheet including read range, chip memory map, IP / temperature rating and compliance certificates is available on request; attach your reader model and target environment so we can confirm suitability before quoting.
