Customized plastic PVC NFC MIFARE Ultralight C card

The MIFARE Ultralight® C contactless IC is a cost effective solution using the open 3DES cryptographic standard for chip authentication and data access.

The widely adopted 3DES standard enables easy integration into existing infrastructures and the integrated authentication command set provides an effective cloning protection that helps to prevent counterfeit of tags.

Tickets, vouchers or tags based on MIFARE Ultralight C can act as single trip mass transit tickets, event tickets or as low cost loyalty cards and are also used for device authentication.

Production and Quality Control of MIFARE Ultralight C Cards

1. Material Selection:
   • High-quality photo-standard PVC/PET material is chosen for its durability and print quality.
   • The materials must conform to standards for card production to ensure consistency and reliability.
2. Lamination:
   • The material sheets are laminated with multiple layers to enhance durability.
   • Embedding the antenna and MIFARE Ultralight C chip during the lamination process ensures seamless integration.
3. Chip Embedding:
   • The MIFARE Ultralight C contactless IC, known for its 3DES cryptographic standard, is precisely embedded into the card.
   • The embedding process involves ensuring the chip aligns with the antenna for optimal performance.
4. Cutting:
   • Laminated material is cut into standard CR80 card size.
   • High precision cutting tools are used to ensure dimension accuracy, which is critical for compatibility with card readers and printers.
5. Printing:
   • Cards are printed with customized designs using direct thermal or thermal transfer card printers.
   • Printing techniques are chosen based on the required design complexity and durability.
6. Data Encoding:
   • Specific data is encoded onto the MIFARE Ultralight C chip as per customer requirements.
   • Encoding includes setting up the cryptographic keys and specifying access commands for data protection.

1. Material Inspection:
   • Initial inspection of PVC/PET sheets for defects or inconsistencies.
   • Ensuring materials meet industry standards before production begins.
2. Chip Functionality Testing:
   • Each MIFARE Ultralight C chip is tested for functionality before embedding.
   • Tests include verifying 3DES authentication and data access commands.
3. Compliance Testing:
   • Cards are checked to ensure full compliance with ISO/IEC 14443 A 1-3 and NFC Forum Type 2 Tag standards.
   • Verification of the anti-collision support and 106 Kbit/s communication speed.
4. Antenna Quality Control:
   • Ensuring proper connectivity between the antenna and the embedded chip.
   • Minimizing signal loss and ensuring consistent read/write capabilities.
5. Durability Testing:
   • Cards undergo mechanical stress tests to ensure they can withstand regular usage without degradation.
   • Assessing the durability of the cards, including the ability of the chip to perform after 10,000 single write operations.
6. Final Inspection:
   • Comprehensive inspection of the final product, including visual checks for print quality and physical defects.
   • Testing encoded data to ensure it matches requirements and confirming the unique 7-byte serial number accuracy.
7. Batch Testing:
   • A specific number of cards from each batch undergo additional tests to assure batch consistency.
   • Cards are tested in real-world scenarios to ensure functionality in intended applications like mass transit systems, event management, and loyalty programs.
