Eco-Friendly Key Cards
Verify sourcing documents
Request the complete card composition and documents applicable to the proposed construction, including coatings, adhesives and the RFID inlay. A material name alone does not prove recyclability, compostability or a lower environmental impact.
| Card format | Indicative range per card (USD) |
|---|---|
| Waterproof paper RFID card | $0.12 – $1.35 |
| Bamboo RFID card | $0.25 – $1.50 |
| Wooden RFID card (wood veneer) | $0.30 – $1.60 |
Indicative USD ranges per card at 1,000–4,999 pieces per design, four-colour offset printing included, EXW Dongguan. Freight, duties, taxes, special finishes, sleeves and credential preparation are quoted separately; the exact price is set in a dated quote.Full price table and quantity bands
A price range is not a compatibility statement. Confirm the chip with test samples in your own locks before ordering.
Wood veneer offers natural grain and a choice of finishes. Confirm species, full card construction and moisture limits; if certified sourcing is required, verify the valid certificate scope and the claim on the order documents.
Bamboo offers a distinctive grain and tone. Confirm the selected construction, finish, moisture limits and sourcing documents; compare a sample with your intended artwork.
Paper-based cards vary by fiber, coating, laminate and inlay. Confirm the full composition and test moisture resistance for the intended stay; do not assume that a waterproof-paper label means plastic-free or recyclable.
For an alternative PVC formulation, request the exact material specification and applicable test report, including specimen, method, conditions and result. An ASTM reference alone does not establish landfill biodegradation or compostability of the finished card.
Production planning
Compare alternative materials by their full construction and intended use. Environmental statements require evidence for the selected product and order.
Illustrative product options. The approved specification and sample define your order.
Identify the core, coatings, adhesives and electronics. Request originals supporting any sourcing or disposal claim.
Approve printing or engraving on the chosen material, allowing for natural or process variation.
Confirm dimensions, bonding and the moisture, heat and bending conditions relevant to your operation.
Evaluate the finished sample for handling and appearance, then test any access credential in the authorized system.
Confirm packing and delivery. Only provide disposal instructions supported by the actual composition and available local route.
Illustrative product options. The approved specification and sample define your order.
Compare complete material samples, including coatings and the inlay, before approving an environmental statement. Keep appearance approval and credential testing separate; confirm sample costs and preparation for the requested construction.
Confirm the lock model, encoder, access software and credential configuration. A brand or chip family alone does not establish compatibility; test the proposed sample with your authorized encoder and doors before ordering.
Confirm the finished product’s water, heat, cleaning and wear limits against your operating conditions. Assess a representative sample; service life depends on construction and handling.
Specify the chip or stripe, material, quantity per design, printing and destination. Confirm pricing, minimum order and any quantity discounts in a dated project quote.
