Explaining the features & benefits of Smart Thermal ID Card Printing

RFID Cards (Radio Frequency Identification) are a contactless method of transferring information in card form. Plastic custom printed RFID cards are embedded with a chip which contains key personal data. This data can be virtually any metric. The data is then transmitted wirelessly from the chip to an RFID reader that’s in close proximity. RFID (or contactless cards, as they are more commonly known), are an increasingly popular means of identification and are widely used for controlling access to secure areas.

Industries & roles where high security ID cards are often utilised include:

• Educational facilities
• Healthcare facilities
• Construction workers
• Engineers who visits remote sites
• Drivers & Pilots
• Security staff
• Government agencies

Unlike traditional magnetic stripe cards, or those with barcodes, RFID contactless cards only need to be near a reader to transmit information, this means they are hygienic, quick and easy to use.
