Wood­en smart card is a card that com­bines wood mate­r­i­al and smart card tech­nol­o­gy, usu­al­ly con­tain­ing an inte­grat­ed cir­cuit (IC) that can store and process data and sup­port mul­ti­ple func­tions such as iden­ti­ty authen­ti­ca­tion, pay­ment, access con­trol, etc.

Wood­en smart cards are made from sus­tain­able woods such as cher­ry, bass­wood, wal­nut, sapele, beech and bam­boo. They are envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly and suit­able for brands that focus on sus­tain­abil­i­ty. Wood mate­r­i­al gives smart cards a nat­ur­al and pre­mi­um look that attracts atten­tion and enhances brand image. Wood­en smart cards are gen­er­al­ly more durable than paper cards and can with­stand the wear and tear of every­day use. Choose a suit­able smart card chip and make sure that the stor­age capac­i­ty and func­tion­al­i­ty of the chip meet your require­ments. Com­mon smart card chips include MIFARE, DES­Fire, FUDAN etc.
