FAQ

What are the main advantages of paper RFID cards?

Paper RFID cards offer a lightweight, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution, widely used in bus passes and ticketing systems. Compared to traditional PVC cards, paper RFID cards have a lower unit cost for bulk orders and can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are ideal for fast, large-scale issuance, particularly in the transportation and event sectors.

Paper RFID cards are durable enough for everyday use, especially in ticketing and bus pass systems. Although paper RFID cards may not be as physically robust as PVC cards, they are well-suited for shorter lifecycle applications, such as single-use tickets, temporary passes, and short-term membership cards. Depending on your specific needs, RFID Quote will help you find the most suitable paper RFID card supplier that can meet the demands of public transportation or ticketing systems.

RFID Quote partners with globally certified suppliers to ensure they can provide paper RFID cards that meet international quality standards. Whether you are working on bus pass systems, ticketing projects, or other RFID card applications, the platform helps you find suppliers that meet your specific project requirements.
