Print and personalization
Wooden Card Printing Specs
Printing on wood is different from printing on plastic. Grain, surface seal, white ink, QR contrast, foil adhesion, laser tone, edge finish, and antenna position all influence the final approval.

- Laser Engraved Wood RFID Cards
Laser engraving is the most natural personalization route for wood cards. It creates a permanent tone-on-tone mark that feels part of the material instead of sitting on top of it.
- UV Printed Wood RFID Cards
UV printing is used when wood cards need readable color, logos, QR codes, or graphics that cannot be achieved by laser alone. Light woods are usually the most forgiving base.
- White Ink Wood Cards
White ink is the cleanest way to make logos, icons, names, QR zones, and serials readable on walnut, black wood, and other darker card bodies.
- Foil Wood RFID Cards
Foil turns a wood card into a premium presentation object when used as a controlled accent: border lines, monograms, tier marks, serial plates, and small logo details.
- Spot UV Wood Cards
Spot UV works best on wood as a subtle tactile detail. It can catch light on a logo, pattern, member mark, or premium tier without covering the natural grain.
- QR and Serial Wood RFID Cards
QR and serial data make wood cards operational. The key is to keep the premium appearance while making every code, number, and NFC record scannable and traceable.
- Wood Card Edge Finishing
The edge is where buyers feel the difference between a premium wood card and a flat printed sample. Thickness, radius, seal, layered construction, and cut quality should be part of approval.
- Wood RFID Card Artwork Specs
Wood card artwork should define more than the logo. A production file needs material, print layers, laser layers, foil, QR, serial data, chip area, antenna constraints, and packaging references.
Visual references
The strongest wood card designs are controlled.
Use the material as the hero. Laser, white ink, foil, QR, and gloss should support the wood instead of hiding it under heavy graphics.
Artwork and RF constraints belong in the same proof.
Chip area, antenna-safe zones, hole placement, QR size, serial data, and print layers should be approved together so the card is both attractive and functional.
