RPVC Card Overview

RPVC cards use recycled PVC as an alternative to conventional virgin PVC card construction, helping reduce virgin material use while retaining the familiar plastic card format. This makes RPVC suitable for B2B smart-card programs that require a conventional card structure with recycled material incorporated into the product.

 

Available in standard CR80 and custom formats, RPVC cards can be manufactured as blank, printed, encoded or personalized smart cards. Recycled content, card structure, RFID/NFC inlay, chip configuration, printing and personalization can be defined according to the application and technical requirements.

 

Why Choose RPVC  Card?

Recycled PVC Material

Use recycled PVC content when your card program requires a more responsible material specification and reduced use of virgin PVC.

Keep the Standard Card Format

RPVC maintains the familiar size, thickness and card-processing characteristics used in many conventional smart-card programs.

PVC-Like Print Quality

RPVC supports standard card printing and customized visual designs with good color reproduction.

RFID/NFC Integration Available

RPVC card constructions can be combined with RFID or NFC technology according to application and chip requirements.

FAQ

Why choose RPVC cards instead of standard PVC cards?

RPVC uses recycled PVC content while retaining the processing characteristics required for RFID card manufacturing. It is a practical option for projects seeking to reduce virgin PVC use without changing the overall card format.

 

Is RPVC suitable for RFID and NFC card production?

Yes. RPVC cards can integrate the same RFID/NFC chip families used in conventional cards.including MIFARE, DESFire, Ultralight, subject to chip and antenna configuration.

 

Will RPVC change the card's appearance or print quality?

RPVC can support full-color printing, customized artwork and common surface finishes. Final appearance depends on the recycled material composition, printing process and required finish, so samples are recommended for approval.

 

Can RPVC cards match our existing card specifications?

Yes. Custom RPVC cards can be produced to required thickness, dimensions, chip configuration, artwork and card format. Existing card specifications can be reviewed before production.

 

Can we test RPVC cards before placing a bulk order?

Yes. We can provide pre-production samples for checking card appearance, printing, dimensions and RFID/NFC performance with your existing system.

 

What information is needed for a quotation?

Please provide the card size, thickness, paper material, chip requirement, customization details and quantity. An existing card or drawing can also be provided for reference.

 

What is your MOQ and lead time?

MOQ : From 500pcs; Lead time : 7-14 business days, depending on the card type, customization level, printing requirements, and encoding needs. Blank cards can usually be delivered faster than fully customized printed and encoded cards.
