Chip cards are plastic cards with an integrated memory chip that stores personal data such as name, address, ID or membership number.

As an official partner of leading chip card manufacturers, we offer all chip cards from LEGIC (prime, advant, CTC), MIFARE (Classic, Plus, Ultralight, DESFire), HID Global (iCLASS, Prox), Hitag, Infineon, EM Microelectronics, and many other manufacturers.

In addition to contact chip cards, which transmit their information when touching a card reader, we also offer RFID cards. This card type transmits encoded data contactlessly via radio waves.

YouCard offers every card type, regardless of chip, in the following variants:

  • Blank chip cards (available in many colors for self-printing)
  • Printed chip cards (custom design including company logo, barcode, QR code, signature field, etc.)
  • Personalized chip cards (individually printed with name, date of birth, membership number, photo, etc.)
  • Encoded chip cards (e.g., with LEGIC or MIFARE encoding)
  • Chip cards with security features (holograms, guilloches, microtext, embossing, barcodes, etc.)

Overview of Chip Card Types

RFID Card

RFID Cards – Contactless Chip Cards

RFID cards are transponder cards that exchange information contactlessly via RFID technology. Unlike contact chip cards, direct physical contact between the card and the card reader is not necessary. The required transponder (antenna), which is powered by an electromagnetic field from the reader, is not visible from the outside.

Smartcard

Smartcards – High-Security Cards with Microprocessor

Chip cards can be equipped with an additional microprocessor chip to maximize the security of your storage and data transmission. With the integrated processor, which has its own operating system and memory, the stored information can be cryptographically encrypted. The most well-known smart card is the credit card.

Hybrid Card

Hybrid Cards – Equipped with Multiple Storage Media

Hybrid cards are plastic cards that combine multiple storage technologies. For example, hybrid cards can have both a contact chip and an RFID chip, or an RFID chip and a magnetic stripe. By combining the advantages of different storage media, functionality and application possibilities can be significantly enhanced.

Dual Interface Card

Dual Interface Chip Cards – Cards with Two Data Interfaces

Dual Interface chip cards are plastic cards whose memory chip offers two data interfaces, usually one contactless and one contact-based. Unlike hybrid cards, both interfaces are integrated into a single chip. Dual Interface cards provide significantly more flexibility, performance, and application possibilities compared to regular chip cards.
