      "question": "Which chip should we use for student ID cards?",
      "answer": "For multi-application R1 / large-state-system campuses running access + library + meal-plan + print-release + Apple Wallet / Google Wallet mobile credentials, MIFARE DESFire EV3 is the 2026 default — AES-128, EAL5+, cross-vendor reader support via HID Signo / ASSA ABLOY Aperio / SALTO XS4 / CBORD / Transact readers, and Apple Wallet / Google Wallet provisioning paths. HID iCLASS SE / SEOS is the US-campus default on HID reader estates. MIFARE Classic 1K (USD 0.30–0.60 / card) remains budget-optimised for single-application deployments (gym / events / library-only) where Crypto-1's compromised posture is acceptable."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can you produce cards with student photos already printed?",
      "answer": "Yes. Send a CSV mapping student IDs to card fields (name, ID number, class year, residence hall, meal-plan tier) plus a photo folder (JPEG, minimum 300 dpi, neutral background per ISO/IEC 19794-5). Our digital-print line handles 2,000 unique cards/day on Evolis Primacy 2 / Zebra ZXP Series 7 / Magicard 600 / Entrust Sigma DS4. Cards ship sorted by residence hall, department, class-year or alphabetical. Typical turnaround 10–15 business days for up to 5,000 cards; rush 7–10 days available for orientation deadlines."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do mobile student IDs (Apple Wallet / Google Wallet) replace the physical card?",
      "answer": "Not fully. Mobile credentials reduce card-office traffic on the 8–15% semester-replacement churn and work on NFC-capable door and POS readers, but they complement rather than replace the physical card. Regulatory exam-proctor photo-ID workflows still require a laminated photo card; readers at older buildings may not support mobile NFC; international students with non-supported devices need a physical card. The 2026 hybrid pattern is: physical DESFire EV3 card at orientation plus opt-in Apple Wallet / Google Wallet provisioning from the campus-card portal after SIS / SSO identity verification."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the MOQ and pricing for student ID cards?",
      "answer": "MOQ 200 for custom-printed cards. Volume tiers at 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 / 5,000 / 10,000+. Indicative pricing: MIFARE Classic 1K USD 0.30–0.60/card; MIFARE DESFire EV3 USD 0.80–1.50/card; dual-frequency DESFire EV3 + EM4100 USD 1.60–2.40/card. Anti-counterfeiting overlay stack adds USD 0.10–0.30/card. Blank pre-encoded cards MOQ 100 for same-day card-office reissuance. Compliance package (chip batch certificate, ISO/IEC 14443 test report, ISO/IEC 10373-1 durability, FERPA data-handling statement) included with every order."
