How a Dutch card programme is handled in English
Everything is settled online and in English, inside the EU single market: one quotation, one digital proof and one invoice in euro.
Service in English, cards in Dutch or English
Quotation, proof and invoice are in English, with a single contact who knows your file. Cards are printed in Dutch, English or both, with accents such as é and ë reproduced exactly from a UTF-8 data file.
Dutch surnames handled properly
Keep the prefix (van, de, van der) in its own column of your data file: we print the full name, Sanne van der Berg, and sort the batch by surname. Our guide to variable data card printing explains the file.
Cards that match your installed readers
Send us the written specification from your system provider (chip type, memory layout, keys): we encode to it and to your data file, never from a card you already hold.
Digital proof before production
No card is produced before you approve in writing a digital proof showing both sides, the finish and the first records of your data file.
Invoicing between EU businesses
With your Dutch VAT number, the invoice is issued without VAT under the intra-EU reverse charge, in euro. Payment by credit or debit card, or SEPA bank transfer.
Personal data protected
Names, photos and employee or student numbers are processed under the GDPR (AVG in Dutch) and used only for production. A data processing agreement (verwerkersovereenkomst) can be provided.
Choosing the technology
Which card for which use in the Netherlands
The right card depends on what reads it: a door reader, a till scanner, a turnstile, a hotel lock or simply the human eye. All our cards use the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 format; the chip or barcode is chosen to match the equipment you already run.
| Use | Recommended card | Technology and standard |
|---|---|---|
| Building access and time registration (offices, plants) | Photo ID badge with chip | MIFARE DESFire EV2 or EV3, or MIFARE Classic 1K, 13.56 MHz, ISO/IEC 14443 A; EM4102 or T5577 at 125 kHz for older readers |
| Visitors and contractors at warehouses and distribution centres | Numbered visitor or contractor pass with holder | Barcode, QR code or 125 kHz chip, numbered in sequence, one colour per zone |
| Sports clubs and fitness clubs (check-in) | Membership card with number | MIFARE Classic 1K or 125 kHz chip for the turnstile, or Code 128 barcode for the front desk scanner |
| Hotel room keys | Key card for your lock system | MIFARE Classic or Ultralight EV1 (ISO/IEC 14443 A), or LoCo / HiCo magnetic stripe (ISO/IEC 7811) |
| Retail loyalty and gift cards | Barcode card, optional scratch-off panel | EAN-13 (GS1) or Code 128 barcode, QR code, unique code per card |
| Universities and colleges | Student or staff card with photo | Code 128 barcode, plus a 13.56 MHz chip for contactless campus access |

FAQ Netherlands
Questions from Dutch buyers
Six answers Dutch buyers ask for before requesting a quote.
Do you deliver to the Netherlands?
Yes. We deliver throughout the Netherlands, from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Groningen and Maastricht, by tracked parcel to the address stated on your quotation: head office, warehouse, campus or club. The tracking number is sent to you on dispatch.
Is the invoice VAT-free for a Dutch business?
Yes. Between businesses in the European Union, the invoice is issued without VAT under the intra-EU reverse charge as soon as you give us your valid Dutch VAT number. Your business then accounts for the VAT in the Netherlands. Without a VAT number, the invoice is issued with VAT. All invoices are in euro.
Is there a Dutch version of the website?
No. Our website and our service are in English, from quotation to invoice. The cards themselves are printed in Dutch, English or both, with accents and surname prefixes reproduced exactly from your data file.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the form on this page with the card type, quantity, personalisation required and your delivery town. You receive a free, detailed quotation within 24 hours, ready to sign online. The minimum order is 100 cards.
Will NFC or RFID cards work with our access control or time registration system?
Yes, provided we receive the specification your system expects: chip family, frequency, memory layout and keys. Your system provider can supply it in writing. Encoding is carried out to the specification and the data file you provide; we do not read or copy a card you already hold.
Can I order from the customer area?
Yes. A customer area is opened with your first order: it holds your quotes, purchase orders, proofs and invoices, and lets you request reorders in a few clicks. You sign in with your email address and the password you create on your first visit.
