HKSQ Study Mission– Visit to C&C RFID (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.

The third day of HKSQ Study Mission to Hangzhou and Shanghai was to visit C&C RFID (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. on 18 April 2014.

In the beginning, Ms. Daisy Liao (Sales Executive) introduced C&C RFID (Shanghai) to us. C&C Joint Printing HK has 7 printing factories, 1 in HK, 2 in Shenzhen, 1 in Beijing and 3 in Shanghai. C&C provide overall printing solutions including book printing, commercial printing package printing, security printing, digital printing, customized printing and counterfeiting printing to customers all over the world.

C&C RFID was a joint venture by C&C Joint Printing (HK) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Fudan Science & Technology Holding Company in 2006. Their RFID product range was from dry inlay, wet inlay, label, paper ticket and plastic card. The roadmap of C&C RFID was shown in the following diagram.

The sample with flip-chip bonding converted production lines together with RFID plastic card laminator. They also provided a tailored made and design inlay antenna for end users.

The following table compared the advantages and disadvantages to use RFID and Bar Code.

After that we visited the RFID production lines included security and non-security printing. They had laboratory for antenna design such as UHF (860~960MHz) / HF (13.56MHz) antenna anechoic chamber and reliability test (e.g. 85C/85%RH test for 7day).

Lastly, we visited the show room of C&C Joint Printing (HK) Co., Ltd.

C&C got Benny Award (National Gold Ink Award) in 2008.

They also obtained HKQAA ISO 9001 certificate with number CC260 (very early).

They had got the Hong Kong Industry Award – Grand Award on Productivity in 1996 and got the Merit Award on Quality in 2004. I was one of assessors in the Hong Kong Industry Award – Quality in 2003/2004 and had visited their Shenzhen plant.
