Order Charge Cards / Key Fobs From LMS
The charge card provisioning takes roughly between 6-8 weeks, so please order your charge cards or tokens well ahead. Shipping costs apply.
- Go to Charge Card Order Form
- Fill in & submit the online form
- You will receive a confirmation of your order
- The invoice will be sent to you separately, once the charge cards have been ordered
- Once cards are delivered, they will be imported to EVC-net automatically
- You will receive a shipping notice once the cards are shipped to you
The finished card size is 85.6*54mm. The size needed for the design should include the bleeding part (the part used to create design to be cut out when doing cards) and should measure 88.5*57mm. The external customer ID will be printed on the card. Please take this in consideration and leave some space for the ID.
Please provide EPS and PDF-format (= 2 files).
Example Charge card:
This is just an example! You can freely design your card and position your logo and any other information wherever you want on the card. The only mandatory information is the external card ID that will always be printed on the card. Please include a placeholder for the ID on your card design! (here: NL-LMS-123456-6)
The size of the Logo/ print for the front side is a circle of 25mm.
Please provide EPS and PDF-format (= 2 files).
Example Key fob:
Order Charge Cards / Key Fobs From 3rd Party
- Request a list of the UIDs from your card supplier before printing
- Send the list to support@lastmilesolutions.com with the explanation & request for external IDs
- LMS will add the “external IDs” for each UID to the excel list and send it back to you
- Get in touch with your card supplier with the list of UIDs and External IDs, to print correct external ID on the card (matching UID and external ID from the list).
- Request support to import the list of charge cards (external ID + UID) to the platform and the cards will be available and are ready to be used by your customers.
It is also possible to do it the other way around: request a list of external IDs from us, send it to your card supplier and request to add the matching UIDs to the list, so that we can import those later.
Card standard: MiFARE Classik 1k 7-byte UID (=unique ID) which means that the internal RFID “ID” has at least 14 digits; less than this is not acceptable because it is not guaranteed anymore that the ID is unique.
When you chose the card supplier of your choice it is necessary to align with us before printing the cards because we will create the “external IDs” that will be printed on the charging cards.
The external ID contains of your provider ID and a combination of numbers and letters, e.g. DE-LMS-123456-X, will be printed on the card and is the card identifier for your customers. We have to make sure to import your cards with the right external ID matching the UID of the RFID card.
