FOTODEK
This established brand has been around for many years. Cards come in a Fotodek branded box with a hologram on each box for a simple and easy way to verify the authenticity of genuine Fotodek products.
Mifare RFID cards have a very slight 7mm x 5mm indent where the chip is embedded inside the card. It’s only visible if you hold the card up to the light and look carefully, generally it’s positioned within a 20mm x 20mm area in the top left-hand corner. If you are printing onto the cards then please be aware that the print head on some ID card printers may miss this 7mm x 5mm chip area and leave a blank space. If that happens then you’ll need to adjust your card layout to accommodate not printing on top of the chip area. Another option is to purchase pre-printed Mifare Cards from us with your background design already in place, so all you do is print on the personalisation. Or instead use a retransfer ID card printer as it does not print directly onto the card. If you’d like a quote for either or a sample card to test then please contact us.
