What does American Hotel Cards make? We supply contactless RFID and NFC hotel key cards — in PVC, FSC® wood, bamboo and recycled stock — plus wood-bead, silicone and woven RFID wristbands, key card sleeves, and staff fobs and tags. Everything runs on 13.56 MHz MIFARE® or NTAG credentials, is custom-printed to your brand, and is encoded blank or pre-programmed to your own lock and property-management system. We are an independent supplier, compatible with — not affiliated with — the lock brands below.
RFID hotel key cards are contactless 13.56 MHz cards that open a guest-room lock with a tap instead of a swipe.

Wood RFID hotel key cards are real-wood key cards built around a 13.56 MHz RFID inlay, so they tap-to-open exactly like a plastic card while giving the guest a warm, natural surface.

Custom printed hotel key cards are RFID key cards finished with your own artwork — full-bleed CMYK, Pantone brand colors, metallic foil and spot UV — on a card that still encodes for your locks.
