RFID and NFC cards, encoded to your system.

It is the same physical card, approached from opposite ends. Card printing is about the artwork, the finish and short runs: visiting cards, plain ID cards, a hundred passes for an event. This page is about what happens once a chip is involved: which chip, at which frequency, encoded to which system, with which keys, matched to the readers you already own. If your card has to open a door, mark attendance or pay for lunch, you are on the right page. If it just has to look good, the printing page is the cheaper one.

That is the first thing to settle and it is why we ask for the reader model before quoting. A 125 kHz reader will never read a 13.56 MHz card, and a MIFARE Classic reader will not read DESFire unless it was set up for it. Tell us what is on your doors and turnstiles, and a photograph of the unit is usually enough, and we will tell you which chip you need. Where a campus is mid-migration between two systems, a dual-frequency card buys you the time to finish.

Whichever you prefer, and most people prefer us to. Cards encoded before delivery arrive working and matched to your data, with the printed number and the chip number agreeing, and we hand back a file your system can import. If your security policy says the keys never leave your building, that is a good policy and we will supply the cards blank with the numbering you specified.

Yes, and that is a large part of why we make them. Cards for a school running Vybe ERP come encoded for attendance, and cards for a campus on Vybe CMS come ready for the cashless cafeteria terminals. One card usually does the gate, the classroom and the canteen. Because both ends are ours, there is nobody in the middle explaining why the format does not match.

Just 25 cards. A small office, a clinic or a single hostel block should not have to buy four years of cards to get this year's, so a run of 25 is a normal order with us, and so is the top-up of 25 for the next batch of joiners.

In Bengaluru, cards are delivered within 5 business days of payment, printed, encoded and checked. Outside Bengaluru, they are dispatched within the same 5 business days, and the courier's transit time is on top of that. To keep the run moving, send the approved design, a clean spreadsheet and photograph files named to match it along with the payment; four hundred photographs called IMG_0423.jpg take sorting out before anything can be printed.

RFID cards start at ₹16.50 a card and NFC cards at ₹50 a card, plus GST, from a minimum of 25. The RFID price is for a card printed with your design, not a blank, and they are Bengaluru's lowest prices for premium cards. The chip moves the price more than anything else, so a DESFire EV3 card costs more than an entry-level one. Tell us the chip or the reader, the quantity and what has to go on the face of the card at sales@vybe.net.in and the exact figure comes back.
