What PrintPlast Brings to Booth C60
Three years of exhibiting at the Independent Hotel Show Munich has given us deep insight into what boutique and independent hoteliers need. In 2026, our booth focuses on sustainable key card solutions that combine environmental responsibility with premium guest experience.
100% Recycled RFID Key Cards
Our flagship product line — hotel key cards manufactured entirely from recycled materials. Compatible with all major hotel lock systems including ASSA ABLOY, Dormakaba, and Salto. Every card diverts plastic waste from landfills while delivering the durability and print quality independent hotels demand.
Wooden Key Cards
A guest-favorite at previous editions. Our real wood veneer key cards offer a distinctive tactile experience that guests remember — and often keep as a souvenir. Available with NFC and RFID chip options for seamless room access.
Biodegradable Key Cards
For hotels pursuing zero-waste operations, our fully biodegradable cards decompose naturally without harmful residues. A visible commitment to sustainability that resonates with today's eco-conscious travelers.
Custom Design & Branding
Your key card is the first physical item a guest touches at check-in. We offer full-color custom printing, embossing, and specialty finishes to transform a functional item into a brand touchpoint.
