Encoding Technologies

Various encoding technologies are used to enhance and extend card security, such as barcodes, magnetic stripes, and contact and contactless chips (RFID). The encoding option required depends on the customer’s needs and available budget. With our EDIsecure® Direct Card and XID Retransfer Printers, cards can be printed and encoded with multiple encoding technologies at once:

  • Contactless Encoding Technologies (Mifare, DESFire, HID iCLASS, Legic, etc.)
  • Contact Chip Technologies (memory and processor chip)
  • Magnetic Stripe Technology (HiCo and LoCo)
  • Barcodes (1-D, 2-D and Color 2-D)

Our Advanced Chip Encoding Framework allows for the integration of multiple encoding technologies by way of one easy-to-use plug-in tool. More...
