EM Thin Cards (Printable Access Cards)

EM Thin Access Cards are the industry standard for organizations that require a dual-purpose credential: a secure electronic door key and a professional photo identification badge. Unlike “clamshell” cards which are thick and non-printable, these thin cards feature a high-quality PVC finish optimized for thermal transfer and dye-sublimation printers. This allows you to print high-resolution logos, employee photos, and barcodes directly onto the card surface while maintaining reliable 125kHz proximity functionality.Key FeaturesOptimized for Printing: The ultra-white, smooth PVC surface ensures vibrant colors and sharp details when used with professional ID card printers (such as Zebra, Fargo, or Evolis).Standard CR80 Dimensions: Features the same size and thickness as a standard credit card (85.6mm x 54mm), allowing it to fit perfectly in wallets, badge holders, and lanyards.Reliable Proximity Tech: Utilizes the widely compatible EM4100/4200 125kHz frequency for fast, contactless reading at distances of up to 10cm.Maintenance-Free Passive RFID: Requires no internal battery; the card is powered by the reader’s magnetic field, ensuring a virtually unlimited operational lifespan.Multi-Purpose Utility: Ideal for use as a combined access control card, time and attendance badge, and visual staff identification.Technical SpecificationsFeatureSpecificationFrequency125 kHzChip TypeEM4100 / EM4200 CompatibleMaterialHigh-Quality PVCDimensions85.6mm x 54mm x 0.8mm (Standard CR80)ColorPlain Glossy WhitePrinting SupportDye-sublimation / Thermal TransferOperating Temp-10°C to 50°CExport to SheetsUnboxing: What’s in the Box?EM Thin Proximity Cards (Available in packs of 50, 100, or 200)Note: Cards are shipped with a protective film or in dust-free packaging to ensure a clean printing surface.The BenefitsProfessional Branding: Move away from generic tags and enhance your corporate image with high-quality, custom-printed badges that display your company logo and employee details.Convenient Portability: The slim profile is preferred by users as it fits comfortably in standard card slots and doesn’t add bulk to a keychain.Cost-Efficient Security: Provides a durable, long-lasting credential that is significantly more affordable than high-frequency smart cards while still offering robust entry-level security.Who Uses It?EM Thin Printable Cards are the preferred choice for:Corporate Offices: Creating professional photo IDs that also grant access to secure office floors and elevators.Educational Institutions: Issuing student and faculty badges that work with campus-wide attendance and entry systems.Healthcare Facilities: For hospital staff identification and restricted area access management.Event Management: Printing personalized visitor or VIP passes for conferences and secure exhibitions.
