Frequently Asked Questions
What does RFID mean?
The abbreviation "RFID" stands for the English term "Radio Frequency Identification" and translates roughly to "radio recognition." RFID is a widely used technology that enables the contactless transmission of (identification) data from one device to another via magnetic radio waves.
The exchange of information occurs automatically. Thanks to RFID technology, chip cards equipped with a corresponding antenna can communicate with RFID card readers and exchange data within seconds. For example, employees can open specific doors or log into PC terminals simply by holding their RFID employee ID card near a reader, which then automatically loads their personal configuration and access rights. The term "transponder card" is also used interchangeably with RFID card.
In addition to RFID cards, YouCard also offers, for example, RFID labels or RFID key fobs (keychain tags).
Which encodings and memory chips do you offer?
YouCard has many years of experience in encoding (RFID) memory chips. Thanks to renowned licensing partnerships, we are able to offer you all common transponders—always with the optimal encoding for your specific needs. As an official partner of manufacturers such as NXP Semiconductors, LEGIC Identsystems AG, and HID Global, you benefit from expert advice and professional technical support at all times. We also offer magnetic stripe cards in the variations “LoCo” (300 Oe), “HiCo” (2750 Oe), and “Super HiCo” (4000 Oe), as well as memory cards with capacities ranging from 8 bytes to 8 kilobytes, available in both low and high frequencies (125 kHz and 13.56 MHz).
A complete list of our current chip cards can be found in our categories Chip Cards and RFID Cards.
How are plastic cards printed?
There are various printing methods available for printing on plastic cards, each offering its own advantages, disadvantages, and ideal areas of application. We provide you with a detailed overview of each method so you can determine which option best suits your needs. Of course, our experts are always available to support you.
Can I receive sample cards with a layout example?
Sample cards with your personal layout are available from YouCard upon request. However, the so-called live sample production is subject to a small fee.
Alternatively, you can receive free sample cards, if needed, that may resemble your layout or design. These also provide a good indication of how your final card will look.
Do you offer refurbished card printers?
YouCard also offers refurbished card printers, which have generally only been used for demonstrations, trade shows, or similar purposes and are therefore almost like new. You can inquire directly with us for pricing information on our used card printers.
We would be happy to create a customized offer tailored to your specific application.
Which color ribbon is right for me?
We exclusively offer original manufacturer products – not only for our color ribbons, but also for all consumables such as laminates and cleaning kits. Only genuine ribbons ensure optimal print quality and help reduce the maintenance effort for your card printer.
YouCard offers over 200 different color ribbons for both current and discontinued card printer models. Navigating the “ribbon jungle” can quickly become overwhelming. On top of that, ribbons often come with cryptic abbreviations like “YMCFKOK.” Even experienced users may find it difficult to compare the benefits and limitations of different ribbons and determine which one is best suited for their specific application.
We’ll be happy to help you find the right ribbon. Just get in touch with us.
