What Is a Standard Contact IC Card?
A standard contact IC card is an ISO/IEC 7816 compliant smart card that communicates through a gold-plated contact chip module embedded in a PVC, ABS, or PET card body. Data is read and written via direct electrical contact with a compatible reader terminal, delivering stable performance, high security, and proven durability across demanding B2B applications.
CedaGlo supplies both blank and pre-printed contact chip cards with a wide selection of chip options — including SLE4442, SLE4428, AT24C, AT88SC, and FM24C series — supporting access control, stored-value & closed-loop payment, loyalty & membership, government ID, and employee identification programs worldwide. With over a decade of production experience, we have supplied contact chip cards to buyers across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, supporting programs ranging from a few thousand cards to multi-million unit deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chip options are available for your standard contact IC cards?
CedaGlo standard contact IC cards are available with a wide range of chip options to match your application requirements. Common choices include SLE4442 and SLE4428 for general-purpose access and loyalty use, AT24C01/02/04/08/16/64 for scalable memory capacity, AT88SC102 and AT88SC153 for security-critical applications with hardware encryption, and FM24C16A for cost-effective high-volume programs. All chips comply with the ISO/IEC 7816-2/-3/-4 interface standard, with write endurance of ≥ 100,000 cycles and data retention of ≥ 10 years.
Are your contact IC cards compliant with ISO/IEC 7816 standards?
Yes. All CedaGlo contact IC cards are fully compliant with ISO/IEC 7816 Parts 2, 3, and 4, covering contact dimensions, electrical interface protocols, and interindustry command sets. The card body conforms to ISO/IEC 7810 CR80 dimensions (85.60 × 53.98 mm). Cards are also CE certified and RoHS compliant, meeting European import and environmental requirements. They are compatible with mainstream ISO 7816-compliant reader terminals used globally in access control, banking, and ID applications.
What industries use contact IC cards, and which card type should I choose?
Contact IC cards are widely used across access control and employee ID (SLE4442 recommended for PIN-protected entry), banking and ATM systems (AT88SC or SLE4428 with optional HiCo magnetic stripe), loyalty and membership programs (AT24C series for large memory capacity), and government-issued identity documents (AT88SC with serial number encoding). If your deployment requires both contact chip and magnetic stripe, CG-CIC-002 is the right choice. For fully personalized, print-ready cards, CG-CIC-003 covers full-color offset printing, embossing, hologram, and variable data in one order.
What is the minimum order quantity, and can I get a custom-printed card?
The minimum order quantity is 1,000 pcs for standard configurations. Custom-printed cards — including full-color offset printing, embossing, barcode, QR code, serial number, and signature panel — are available from the same MOQ. Sample cards can be arranged before bulk order commitment so you can verify print quality, chip performance, and card dimensions. We supply globally with established logistics to Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
