Eco-Friendly Key Cards
Replace plastic key cards without replacing your locks. Our eco cards carry the same chips as standard PVC — the only thing that changes is the material story you tell at check-in.
Real wood veneer cards — birch, cherry, sapele, walnut and more — each with unique natural grain. FSC-certified sourcing available, finished with laser engraving or color printing. A favorite of boutique and luxury properties.
Fast-growing bamboo delivers a warm, consistent surface at a friendlier price point than hardwood — a practical first step into eco credentials for larger card volumes.
Wood-free coated paper card body that shrugs off wet hands and pool-side use, prints beautifully, and skips plastic entirely. The lightest-footprint option for high-turnover properties.
Looks, feels and performs exactly like standard PVC, but the material is engineered to degrade in landfill conditions — independently tested to ASTM D3826 and ASTM D5208.
Inside the factory
One roof in Dongguan, China: printing, lamination, chip embedding, encoding and QC on our own lines since 2008. Here is the journey from raw sheet to the card your front desk hands over.
REACH & RoHS-compliant PVC, FSC®-option wood veneers and chip inlays — every batch verified before it touches a press.
German offset presses with Pantone spot-color matching held to roughly 5–10% against your brand standard.
Printed cores are collated and fused under heat and pressure, sealing the antenna and chip inside a rigid CR80 body.
Every single card is read-tested before packing — not a sample, all of them. UID lists supplied on request.
Die-cutting, slot punching and per-property packing on automated lines, labeled so each front desk gets the right box.

Three minutes inside a card line: sheet printing, collation, lamination and punching — the same fundamentals our Dongguan facility runs at over one million cards per month. Want proof in your own hands instead? The sample pack ships free.
Yes. The RFID chip and antenna inside are the same as in a PVC card — the lock cannot tell the difference. We test every eco material against your lock system samples exactly as we do with PVC.
Wood and bamboo cards comfortably survive months of daily use; waterproof paper cards are built for typical stay lengths and are the usual choice where cards are not returned. Degradable PVC matches standard PVC durability one-for-one.
Waterproof paper is often close to standard PVC. Bamboo and degradable PVC carry a moderate premium; real-wood cards cost the most per piece but are frequently kept by guests as souvenirs — many properties treat them as marketing rather than consumables.
We provide FSC chain-of-custody documentation for certified wood orders and independent ASTM D3826/D5208 test reports for degradable PVC, so your marketing and procurement teams have evidence behind every claim.
