RFID Pre-Laminated Inlays: The Essential Core for RFID Card Production

 

At Shenzhen Thinked, we specialize in providing high-quality RFID pre-laminated inlays, also known as RFID inlays or Middleware. These inlays serve as the essential core for crafting RFID cards, and we cater to a diverse range of client requirements by offering all three RFID frequency bands: Low Frequency (LF), High Frequency (HF), and Ultra High Frequency (UHF).

 

Understanding RFID Inlay Construction

 

There are two primary methods for creating RFID inlays:

1. Direct Lamination Method:
   - RFID chips and antennas are seamlessly integrated between two PVC sheets.
   - Benefits include lower costs and ease of processing.
   - The surface may not be perfectly flat, with the chip position potentially being slightly raised.

2. Hollow-Out and Lamination Method:
   - A precise hole is cut out at the RFID chip's position on a PVC sheet, followed by lamination with two additional PVC sheets on the front and back.
   - This method incurs higher costs and involves a more complex process.
   - The end result is a flat surface, and when executed properly, the RFID chip remains invisible on the card surface.

 

Shenzhen Thinked's RFID Inlay Production

 

At Shenzhen Thinked, we employ the Hollow-Out and Lamination method for all our RFID inlays and cards, ensuring a premium, seamless finish. Our manufacturing flow includes:

- Punching
- Top threading
- Pasting
- Butt joining
- Detection
- Lamination
- Testing
- Final crafting

 

Our RFID inlays are available in various frequency configurations:

- LF (125 KHz)
- HF (13.56 MHz)
- UHF (840-960 MHz)

 

Characteristics of High-Quality RFID Inlays

A superior RFID inlay is characterized by:

- High-grade base materials
- A smooth and flawless surface
- Flexibility with resistance to ductility and stretching
- Fully functional individual chips
- Minimal imprint visibility after durability tests
- At least one perfectly right angle (90°)

 

Shenzhen Thinked offers a variety of RFID inlay layouts, including 5x5, 3x8, and 6x8, with the option for custom sizes like 8x10 upon request.

 

Innovative Solutions: Hybrid RFID Inlays

Shenzhen Thinked is at the forefront of RFID technology, providing hybrid (dual frequency) RFID inlays that combine different frequency bands for versatile applications:

- LF + UHF
- HF + UHF
- LF + HF

 

Our commitment to innovation and quality makes Shenzhen Thinked the go-to provider for RFID inlay solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of various industries.
