Small smart cards hold up tens of billions of business opportunities

Do not underestimate a small card, behind it, is an increasingly magnified image of wealth. “Ordinary hard cards are 1 yuan each.” Yesterday, the person in charge of a printing and card printing company in Guangwei Tuen, Wuchang, said that almost every industry needs to print some membership cards, and there are more and more professional printing companies. Some printing houses also produce cards for production, producing some cards without additional functions in batches, and the cost is a few cents.

Compared to these low-value card-making businesses, the business opportunities for high-tech cards are difficult to measure. Jiutouiao Technology, headquartered in Wuhan, is a well-known domestic card manufacturing company, covering more than 10 kinds of CPU cards, smart cards, electronic tag cards, and one-dimensional bar code cards. In March this year, a branch company was established in Beijing. Its general manager Li Xinxin said that with the rise of the Internet of Things, the card industry will only become more and more prosperous. The company has extended its design, software development and equipment production to the upper reaches of the industry chain.

Some companies that develop complementary products also aim at business opportunities for card making.

Bosell Co., Ltd., located in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, has developed a super-wave lithium battery that has been widely used for a variety of cards. This battery is only used for this item, and its annual production value is more than 5 million. “We are the first company in China to develop this kind of ultra-thin battery. The Luqiao and other charge cards also use our products.” Yu Zhanghua, general manager of Bosser introduced, ultra-thin batteries are mainly used for cards with additional functions, such as coal miners’ Location cards for underground positioning, free parking tolls, etc. According to his estimation, the entire card manufacturing industry will have an output value of more than 4 billion U.S. dollars in the domestic market.
