## Description
NFC dry inlays are bare chip-and-antenna assemblies on 50 µm PET film with no adhesive layer and no release liner — the inlay-stage flagship product...

## Procurement Snapshot
- Best fit: Best for asset tagging, packaging, authentication, access control, and smart-label projects.
- Customization: Confirm artwork, encoding, material, chip, and finish requirements before quoting.
- Quote checklist: Confirm mounting surface, adhesive or on-metal requirements, and expected reading distance. Share target chip or protocol, quantity, format or size, print or encoding requirements, and the intended application.

## FAQ
- Q: Can dry inlays survive PVC card lamination?
  A: Yes. Our dry inlays are designed for standard PVC lamination at 130-150 °C and 150-300 psi. The PET substrate and chip bonding are rated for these conditions. We recommend testing with your specific lamination press and cycle parameters before production runs — we provide pre-qualification testing reports at the buyer's exact press parameters.
- Q: What is the minimum order for card-size inlays?
  A: Minimum order is 5,000 inlays. For custom antenna designs or non-standard chip types, minimum may be higher (10,000+). Contact us with your specifications for an exact quote.
- Q: Do you supply prelam sheets (inlay already laminated between PVC layers)?
  A: Yes. We can supply prelam sheets — the dry inlay already laminated between two thin PVC overlay sheets, ready for your final lamination with printed PVC panels. This reduces your production steps and improves yield. MOQ 10,000 sheets.
- Q: Which standards govern PVC card construction and NFC / HF chip selection for payment, ID and access credentials?
  A: ISO/IEC 7810:2019 defines the CR-80 card dimensions (85.60 × 53.98 × 0.76 mm) and surface planarity; ISO/IEC 7816 covers contact interface; ISO/IEC 14443 Type A / B defines the 13.56 MHz HF proximity air interface used by MIFARE Classic / DESFire and NTAG families; ISO/IEC 15693 defines vicinity (ICODE SLIX2). For payment cards, EMVCo Contactless Book D adds additional test and certification requirements. Our dry inlays are supplied in CR-80 geometry with antenna designs tuned for ISO 14443 Type A or Type B as specified, and we can provide inlays qualified for EMVCo Book D contactless payment card builds on request.
- Q: How do card bureau lamination cycles (temperature, pressure, dwell) affect chip survival and NDEF retention?
  A: Standard PVC lamination runs 140-150 °C at 200-300 psi for 15-25 minutes dwell on hydraulic platen presses (Bürkle, Wickert, Agfa); polycarbonate lamination for high-security IDs runs hotter (160-180 °C) with longer dwell. NXP NTAG and MIFARE chips are rated for these cycles per the datasheets, but pre-encoded NDEF or DESFire application keys must be written after lamination curing if the cycle exceeds the chip's data-retention reflow spec. We pre-qualify our dry inlays at the buyer's exact press parameters and supply a lamination compatibility report; for pre-encoded programmes we recommend post-lamination encoding via the card personalisation line.
