Universal Smart Cards Limited

Universal Smart Cards has been transforming guest journeys since 2001 with secure, sustainable hotel credentials. We design, produce and personalise RFID keycards (including wood and paper options), staff ID cards, wristbands and access/desktop readers that integrate seamlessly with all major hotel lock platforms and PMS.

The company was founded by industry specialists who recognised a gap: printed RFID cards were taking too long to produce. By re-engineering the process end-to-end, we halved typical lead times and built a reputation for fast, reliable delivery without compromising quality.

Today, our in-house capabilities encompass design and artwork, chip encoding, high-definition printing, advanced personalisation, quality control, warehousing, and fulfilment. We hold stock to support call-off schedules and seasonal peaks, and we manufacture cards using leading chip technologies to ensure compatibility across modern hospitality ecosystems.

With operations in the UK, USA, China, and European fulfilment options, we provide local support on a global scale. This footprint enables shorter lead times, predictable logistics and consistent quality, whether you need a rapid top-up run or a pan-regional rollout.

Sustainability is embedded in our offer. Alongside recycled PVC, wood and paper card materials, we are assessed by EcoVadis and partner with Carbon Neutral Britain, helping hotels reduce environmental impact while maintaining robust security and performance.

Customer service sits at the forefront of our business. Dedicated account managers and UK technical support work closely with hotel, procurement and IT teams to de-risk projects, streamline onboarding and keep properties operating smoothly. From the initial brief to final delivery, our goal is straightforward: to enhance security, streamline operations, and lower the total cost of ownership at scale. Trusted by leading hotels worldwide.
