Smart Credentials
Hotel Key Cards
Custom-printed RFID key cards that combine your resort's visual identity with secure access technology. Available in traditional PVC, eco-friendly recycled paper, natural wood composite, and sustainable bamboo.
Overview
Your Resort's First Impression
A hotel key card is one of the first physical objects a guest receives at check-in — and one of the last things they handle at checkout. It represents a critical branding touchpoint that most properties underutilize. Our custom RFID key cards transform this everyday credential into a premium brand experience that guests remember and often keep as souvenirs.
We supply cards compatible with every major hotel lock manufacturer including ASSA ABLOY VingCard, Salto Systems, DormaKaba, Onity, and Saflok. Our cards are manufactured to ISO 14443A/B and ISO 7816 standards with rigorous quality control including bend testing, temperature cycling, and read/write verification on every batch. With the Caribbean's growing focus on sustainable tourism, our recycled paper and FSC-certified wood cards help properties meet environmental commitments without sacrificing functionality.
