Product Highlights

Stable 13.56MHz HF Performance

The integrated HF antenna and chip are designed for reliable contactless communication at 13.56MHz, making the inlay suitable for a wide range of ISO 14443A and NFC-related smart card applications, depending on the selected chip.

Durable PVC Substrate

The PVC substrate provides good mechanical strength and dimensional stability during card production. It is suitable for lamination, printing, and further card converting processes.

Ready for Smart Card Manufacturing

The pre-laminated inlay structure helps simplify card production by integrating the antenna and chip into a ready-to-process PVC layer. This can help improve production efficiency and reduce assembly complexity.

Custom Chip Options

Different 13.56MHz HF chip options can be supplied according to the required application, memory capacity, communication protocol, and card function.

Custom Sizes and Thicknesses

We can customize the inlay dimensions, thickness, sheet format, antenna design, chip configuration, and other specifications according to your card manufacturing requirements.

Consistent Quality

Each production batch is subject to quality control to help ensure consistent antenna performance, chip functionality, lamination quality, and dimensional stability.

13.56MHz HF PVC Inlay Specifications

Technical specifications can be customized according to different card designs, chip requirements, and production processes.

How Does a 13.56MHz HF PVC Inlay Work?

A 13.56MHz HF PVC Inlay consists mainly of a PVC substrate, RFID/NFC antenna, and embedded chip.

When the finished smart card is placed within the operating range of a compatible RFID/NFC reader, the antenna receives electromagnetic energy from the reader. The chip then communicates with the reader through the antenna without requiring a physical electrical connection.

The inlay is subsequently laminated or converted into the final card structure, allowing manufacturers to produce contactless smart cards with different designs and functions.

Basic structure:

PVC Substrate + 13.56MHz Antenna + HF Chip → Lamination → Finished Smart Card

This structure provides a practical solution for high-volume smart card manufacturing.

Applications of 13.56MHz HF PVC Inlay

Our HF PVC inlays can be integrated into different types of contactless cards, including:

Employee ID Cards

Suitable for employee identification, attendance systems, internal access control, and corporate management cards.

Access Control Cards

PVC Inlay Manufacturing Process

1. Chip Bonding

The RFID/NFC chip is accurately bonded to the antenna using advanced flip-chip technology. Precise positioning and stable bonding ensure reliable electrical performance and consistent reading.

2. Antenna Slitting

The antenna material is precisely slit according to the required specifications. Accurate dimensions and clean edges help ensure stable performance during the following assembly process.

3. Inlay Assembly

The chip and antenna are assembled into a complete RFID/NFC inlay. The assembly process is carefully controlled to ensure proper alignment, strong bonding, and consistent quality.

4. Die Cutting

The assembled inlay material is die-cut into the required size and shape. Standard card sizes such as CR80, as well as customized dimensions, are available according to customer requirements.

5. Performance Testing

Every batch of PVC inlays undergoes quality and performance testing, including chip reading, communication stability, antenna performance, and appearance inspection, to ensure reliable performance before delivery.

6. Vacuum Packaging

Qualified PVC inlays are carefully counted, sorted, and vacuum-packed to protect them from moisture, dust, and damage during storage and transportation. Customized packaging is available for bulk orders.
