Custom-Shaped RFID Card, LF / HF / UHF: overview
CA-130 is a custom-shaped RFID card family for projects that need the credential outline to fit a particular object, display or issuing format. Round, square and irregular shapes are listed, with PVC and PET construction options. The design is suited to exhibition credentials, event identification and product labels where a standard rectangular card is not the best fit.
The first decision is the radio configuration: 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz or 860–960 MHz. The listed HF choices cover ISO/IEC 14443A and ISO/IEC 15693, while the UHF choices use EPC Class 1 Gen 2 / ISO/IEC 18000-6C. Chip options include EM4200, MIFARE Classic, Ultralight, NTAG, ICODE and UHF devices. Specify one exact configuration, because a custom outline does not make incompatible chips interchangeable.
Printing, screen printing, code marking, hot stamping, data writing, punching and an epoxy finish are available. Memory capacity follows the selected chip. The operating temperature is listed as –20 to +55 °C, with storage at –35 to +70 °C; no universal sensing distance is given.
Give the issuing workflow the same attention as the artwork. Define what the reader must retrieve and how the backend will interpret it, then test the proposed card on the intended equipment. For custom shapes, confirm the completed dimensions and construction before approval, as the description mentions additional enclosure materials beyond the PVC/PET specification.

CA-130 FAQ
Can I order an irregular outline?
Yes. Round, square, irregular and custom shapes are listed.
Is one card compatible with all three frequency bands?
The bands are chip configuration choices. A universal three-frequency card is not documented.
Which finishing operations are offered?
Printing, screen printing, code marking, hot stamping, writing data, punching and epoxy finishing are listed.
What read range is specified?
No fixed distance is specified. Performance depends on the reader and installation.
