Prelam Inlay Sheet (Standard Prelam) Types
1Prelam sheet specifications
Materials PVC, PC, PET, PETG, PLA, paper. Standard antenna 40-60 mm or 47-78 mm (custom available). Layouts 2-5 (10 per sheet) to 6-8 (48 per sheet). Finishing: silkscreen layout form, brush finishing, edge trimming, printed cross marks and trimmed reference edges. Formats: dry inlay (no adhesive) and wet inlay (self-adhesive).
2Why a tested prelam matters
Hand-laid coils deform, sit unevenly and leave a coil print on the finished card, and hand-soldering exposes the chip to static that shortens its life. RFIDAK's automatic wire implanting places coils evenly with stable gaps for good frequency consistency, and a multi-chip test platform marks any faulty unit before shipment so every sheet the factory receives is ready for direct production.
3From PVC sheet to tested prelam — six stages
Prelam removes the hard part of card making. You collate your printed sheets with the inlay and laminate the sandwich; everything below happened before the pallet reached you.
4Pressed flat, then pressed flat again
Chip-shelter processing and high-temperature steel-plate lamination are what keep a sheet flat. A prelam that arrives with any bow costs you press stoppages and lamination scrap long before it costs you a failed card.
Sheets ship with silkscreen layout, brush finishing, edge trimming and printed cross marks, so your press and punch have registration to work from on arrival.
5What goes into the sheet before anything is built
Incoming material control is the cheapest quality gate there is. Substrate identity, density and thickness are verified before a sheet is punched, because a wrong PVC lot does not announce itself until lamination.
| Component | What goes in | Why it matters to your line |
|---|---|---|
| Hot-melt adhesive film | Heat-activated double-sided copolyamide film (Larsen L8406 / L8408 class) | Bonds PVC, ABS, PET and PC bodies and runs on conventional module-bonding equipment, so the same inlay suits several card programmes |
| Antenna wire | Enameled copper wire — stable impedance, uniform diameter, good solderability | Uniform diameter is what keeps resonance repeatable across a sheet; poor wire is the usual cause of scattered read range |
| Chip | Reel-packed COB die or MOA4 strip module | Reel feeding allows automatic placement and keeps a traceable lot code against every carton |
6The bench every sheet has to clear
Every inlay is electrically tested; the rest of the bench runs on a fixed sampling schedule under ISO 9001:2015.
| What is checked | Instrument | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Chip response and read/write | Multi-chip test platform with reader and terminal | 100% of units |
| Antenna resonance frequency | Bode 100 vector network analyser | Setup + in-process |
| Inlay thickness | Digital height gauge | Per sheet lot |
| Chip-to-antenna bond strength | Push-force instrument | Per shift |
| Bond joint condition | Stereo microscope | Per shift |
| Substrate identity and density | Precision density balance | Incoming material (IQC) |
| Ageing and lamination survival | Constant temperature and humidity chamber | Qualification + periodic |
7Where the prelam sits in the finished card
Standard antennas are 40×60 mm and 47×78 mm; layouts run 2×5 (10 per sheet) to 6×8 (48 per sheet). Dry inlay and wet (self-adhesive) inlay formats are both available from the same core.
