Cork passport and RFID card holders, a natural and lightweight material.
The cork in these accessories comes from the bark of the cork oak. It is stripped from the living tree, which is not felled and whose bark grows back before the next harvest. Worked into thin sheets, often bonded to a textile backing, cork can be cut and sewn, which is how cases and card holders are made from it. These properties describe the material; on their own, they say nothing about the forest it comes from or how it was processed. That is the role of a certification, and the product page says whether the item carries one.
A so-called RFID card holder includes a layer intended to prevent contactless reading of the cards kept in it, whether payment or access cards. The mention describes this function; it does not measure its effectiveness. Depending on the card, the frequency used and the distance from the reader, the result may vary, and we do not announce any performance that the product page does not document. For a corporate gift, the mention states the purpose of the object. It does not replace the security rules an organisation already applies to its badges and means of payment.
Cork can be FSC certified, like wood: the mark then attests the forest origin of the material and its tracking up to the product. When an item in this range carries none, its product page shows none, rather than letting a plant material stand in for proof: coming from a tree says nothing about how the forest is managed. For your logo, laser engraving, where it is offered on the item, darkens the cork without adding ink; the product page lists the available techniques.
