Why RFID Wooden Cards are Becoming Increasingly Popular

RFID wood card is an environmentally friendly smart card that embeds radio frequency identification (RFID) or near field communication (NFC) chips into sustainable wood materials.It combines the natural, durable and biodegradable properties of wood with RFID/NFC contactless read-write technology. RFID wood card, non-contact data transmission through electromagnetic field: the reader emits 13.56MHz (HF/NFC) or 860- 960MHz (UHF) radio frequency signal, the built-in antenna of the wood card receives the signal to generate induced current, activate the chip. After the chip processes the data, it transmits the information back to the reader through the antenna. The entire process requires no physical contact, and the reading range is usually 1-10cm (HF/NFC) or greater (UHF). Most wooden cards are passive tags that do not require batteries, are powered by readers, and have a life span of more than 10 years. Support ,ISO11784/5 (LF), ISO 14443A , ISO15693 standard (HF/NFC), ISO18000-6C protocol, mainly used in hotel key cards, membership cards, access control, payment and loyalty programs, compatible with hotel lock systems such as Assa Abloy, Vingcard, Saflok/KABA, Onity and Salto.

RFID wood card often uses sustainable wood, such as maple, bambo, basswood, beech, cherry, black walnut, sandalwood, oak, thickness of about 0.8-1.3mm, smooth surface natural texture, bending resistance, waterproof wood optional. Standard credit card size (85.5mm × 54mm × 0.84mm), or customized (such as rounded corners, perforated), support laser cutting various shapes.

HF/NFC chips are commonly used in wood cards, suitable for short-range applications. Its data store supports unique UID, user data, and encryption keys. Data can be erased repeatedly, compatible with Android/iOS NFC read and write.

RFID wood card increasingly popular, not accidental, but the result of multiple factors.

Environmental Image and Sustainability:

In the context of global advocacy for "carbon neutrality" and "ESG", wood materials originate from natural, biodegradable or sustainably managed forests, giving the brand a strong environmental and social responsibility image. Compared to plastic cards (usually made of PVC), wood cards more eco-friendly, catering to the preferences of modern consumers, especially the younger generation, for sustainable consumer goods.

Excellent aesthetics and tactile experience: natural wood texture, warm touch, make each wood card unique, showing a plastic card incomparable luxury and customization.

Technological progress and costreduction:

Early wood card easy to crack, deformation, and packaging technology immature. Today, the durability and consistency of wood cards have been greatly improved through the use of technologies such as multilayer laminate, special heat treatment and eco-friendly coatings. With the increase of market demand and the expansion of production scale, the manufacturing cost of wood card gradually decreases and becomes more cost-effective.

Perfect combination of function and emotion

Muka is not only a tool, but also a handicraft and a valuable gift. It conveys the emotional information of "nature","ingenuity" and "persistence", enhances the user's sense of identity and loyalty to the brand, and it inherits all the advantages of RFID cards-contactless swiping, fast identification, high security, and data storage.
