The IC card, also known as the Integrated Circuit Card, is also referred to as a Smart Card, Intelligent Card, Microcircuit Card, and other names. It embeds a microelectronic chip into a card base that complies with the ISO 7816 standard, forming a card-like structure. The communication between the IC card and the reader can be contact-based or contactless. Based on the communication interface, IC cards are categorized into contact IC cards, contactless IC cards, and dual-interface cards.
The security of IC cards is far superior to ID cards. The card number in an ID card can be read without any permissions, making it susceptible to duplication. In contrast, reading and writing the data recorded inside an IC card require corresponding password authentication. Each section of the card can have different password protections, ensuring comprehensive data security. IC cards can have different passwords for writing and reading data, providing a well-structured hierarchical management system to ensure system security.
A metal IC card replaces the plastic material with metal, usually 304 stainless steel. Besides having a more sophisticated and durable appearance, metal IC cards have a larger capacity compared to traditional magnetic stripe cards. They can store information such as keys, digital certificates, fingerprints, etc. Metal IC cards can handle multiple functions simultaneously and offer advantages like excellent security, large storage capacity, and convenience of use. Consequently, more and more people prefer using them as business cards, gift cards, membership cards, and so on.
Our metal IC cards offer various customization options, such as silkscreen printing or offset printing logo on the surface, bar-coding, QR coding, laser engraving, and so on. Do you want your own metal name card?
