HID iCLASS Card - 210x Contactless Smart Card PET

HID iCLASS 210x Cards PET (Composite 40% Polyester/60% PVC)  - Minimum Order 100 Cards

iCLASS smart card technology represents a significant advancement in access control, offering heightened power, versatility, and security compared to traditional 125 kHz frequency technologies. Operating on the 13.56 MHz read/write contactless smart card platform, iCLASS technology ensures seamless interoperability across various applications, including access control, network security, cashless transactions, time tracking, event management, and biometric identification.

iClass 210X cards are crafted from a composite PVC/PET blend. These composite PET cards offer flexibility, robustness, and resistance against cracking and breakage. Additionally, they can withstand the heat associated with reverse transfer printing and/or laminating processes.

With iCLASS smart card technology, users benefit from mutual authentication between the card and reader, encrypted data transfer, and the use of 64-bit diversified keys for read/write contactless capabilities. However, recognizing the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, additional measures are required to fortify card data against modern hacking techniques.

Compliant with ISO standards for size and thickness, iCLASS smart cards are compatible with direct image and thermal transfer printers. Boasting a surface optimized for high-quality photo ID printing, these cards are available in standard PVC or composite polyester/PVC construction, catering to environments with elevated wear and tear. Furthermore, options for visual security and anti-counterfeiting features, such as holograms, ultraviolet fluorescent inks, micro-printing, or customizable logos, ensure easy identification of genuine smart cards, bolstering overall security measures.

iCLASS smart card technology ensures high security with mutual authentication between smart card and reader, encrypted data transfer, and 64-bit diversified keys for read/write contactless smart card capabilities. Securely separated files enable multiple applications and support future growth.

The iCLASS smart card meets ISO standard for card size and thickness for use with direct image and thermal transfer printers. It features a graphics quality surface optimized for Photo ID printing, and is available in standard PVC construction, or a composite polyester/PVC construction for more demanding high wear and tear environments. The smart card can be produced with visual security and anti-counterfeiting features such as holograms, ultra-violet fluorescent inks, micro-printing, or a custom logo to quickly and easily identify genuine smart cards.

Secure Identity Object (SIO) Programming is not mandatory but highly recommended. If SIO programming is not selected the letter H should be left out from Final Part Number, for example: 2000PGGNN.

² For new artwork files, contact Customer Service for custom artwork number, lead-times, and cost.
³ Cards ordered with plain white front and back packaging, or custom artwork, will still have a small HID logo and reference number printed in the lower left-hand corner and a slot punch target printed on the back of the card. Most part numbers are marked with sales order number. A custom part number is required to omit all marking from the card.  Contact your local support representative for details.
⁴ The Printed card number is placed in the bottom right-hand corner on the back of the card.
⁵ Cards are provided with an optional slot punch at no additional charge. Some video imaging printers cannot  accommodate pre-slot punched cards.
⁶ The ability to add a horizontal slot punch requires a different iCLASS antenna design. Users can expect a read range reduction of approximately 20% if they order option H for the Slot Punch.
⁷ Please note that cards shipped within the Americas are always laser-engraved. Inkjetted option is not available for these cards.

* The composite construction is recommended for all cards with over-laminate applied. Consult with the printer manufacturer prior to ordering.
