Smart Tickets (RFID)
Atlantic Zeiser offers the industry's fastest pre-personalization solutions, perfectly suited for High Volume Smart Ticket Applications. Smart tickets are paper-based tickets containing a contactless chip and are used as public transport or event tickets. They combine the advantages of paper tickets and contactless chip cards, while having a lower unit cost than plastic cards. Smart tickets also offer all the benefits of RFID technology: fast, convenient, and secure data transfer without contact.
Until recently, reusable contactless plastic cards have been predominant. Now smart tickets are taking the lead, due to the lower manufacturing cost, more simple handling and lower maintenance cost. An increasing number of mass transit networks are adopting disposable paper based smart tickets, i.e. tickets disposed after using it a limited number of trips. Cities around the world are adopting smart tickets for their public transport networks, driving strong market growth that will continue in the coming years.
Smart tickets have a thin inlay (combination chip and antenna) between two layers of paper. These sandwiches are usually manufactured reel-to-reel and then delivered either as reels, individual tickets or in Z-folded perforated ticket lines. Smart tickets require a specific pre-personalization process. Interested in leading edge technology that delivers accuracy, top quality and cost-effective results?
