Key Cards
Hotel RFID Key Cards
Drop-in RFID replacement for traditional magnetic stripe hotel key cards — works with your existing lock system
Product Overview
NATIVA Hotel RFID Key Cards are a premium drop-in replacement for the standard CR-80 magnetic stripe key cards used by most hotel lock systems. Built to ISO 7810 ID-1 specifications (85.6mm × 54mm × 0.76mm), our cards slot directly into existing card encoders and door readers without hardware modifications — no lock replacement, no encoder upgrades.
Available in MIFARE DESFire EV3 (13.56 MHz) for maximum security with AES-128 encryption, or MIFARE Classic 1K for budget-sensitive properties. Both options are fully compatible with VingCard Essence, Dormakaba Saflok, SALTO, Onity, and HID Global lock systems. Dual-frequency HF+LF cards available for properties transitioning between legacy and modern lock hardware.
The PVC card body accepts full-color CMYK offset printing, UV spot varnish, and embossing for premium hotel branding. Signature panel and sequential numbering options included as standard. For eco-conscious properties, our recycled PVC and bio-PVC variants offer identical performance with a 30–60% reduction in virgin plastic content.
