In depth

About Hotel Keycard

A hotel keycard only works if it matches the lock, so every order starts there: tell us the lock brand and model — or courier one working card — and we identify the chip family and encoding the system expects. MIFARE Classic dominates modern RFID locks, T5577 covers 125 kHz systems, and LoCo/HiCo magstripe remains common in older properties; we manufacture and encode all three.

Beyond function, the keycard is the one branded object every guest handles daily. Full-bleed CMYK artwork turns it into an in-room marketing surface — properties co-brand with restaurants, spas and local attractions, or print QR codes linking to guest services. For eco-positioned hotels we produce the same encodings in wood veneer or recycled-PVC bodies.

In practice

How buyers use Hotel Keycard

Composite scenarios drawn from typical order patterns — client names withheld.

New-build hotel fit-out

A property opening with Salto or ADEL locks orders encoded cards in room-ready batches, with artwork proofs and a working sample approved before the full run.

Chain re-branding

Hotel groups refresh thousands of cards across properties with unified artwork while we keep each hotel’s lock encoding separate and labeled.

Resort upsell printing

Resorts print seasonal offers or spa promotions on the reverse side, replacing cards cheaply each season at bulk pricing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which lock systems are supported?

Most RFID (MIFARE Classic, NTAG, T5577) and magstripe hotel locks, including ADEL, Salto, Hune, Beteck and Be-Tech deployments. A brand listing is not a certification — we confirm compatibility per project by encoding a free pre-production sample that you test in a real door before bulk production.

How do I confirm the card will open our locks?

Send your lock brand/model or one working card. We match chip and encoding, then ship free pre-production samples for you to test in a real door before bulk production. If a tested batch turns out incompatible with the agreed lock spec, we re-encode or replace it under the 2-year warranty.

Are you certified or endorsed by ADEL, Salto or other lock brands?

No — RFID MFG is an independent card manufacturer with no affiliation to lock vendors. Brand names identify the platforms our chips are commonly encoded for. Where a platform issues keycards only through the lock vendor’s own encoder or software, we supply compatible blank cards and your property encodes them on site. Every order is proven the same way: free encoded samples tested in your actual locks before bulk production.

How do you handle our keys and encoding data?

Under NDA. Keys, card numbers and encoding files are used only to produce your order, stored no longer than production requires, and deleted on request after delivery.

Do you offer eco alternatives for hotel keys?

Yes — the same lock-compatible chips laminated into FSC wood veneer, bamboo or recycled-PVC bodies, popular with sustainability-certified properties.

How many pcs do I need to order Hotel Keycard?

The minimum is 500 pcs per run. Smaller trial batches are sometimes possible on standard specs — ask with your use case.

What is the wholesale price range for Hotel Keycard?

Indicatively $0.10–$0.80 per pc (FOB Shenzhen). Send chip, size, artwork and quantity for an exact quote within 24 hours.
