As the nation of Timor-Leste (East Timor) works to modernize its local financial infrastructure, there is an increasing demand for highly secure card production, government identification credentials, and retail loyalty technologies. Under the guidance of Banco Central de Timor-Leste, the expansion of the P24 national payment grid is driving commercial banks to update their localized bank card production lines. Magnetic stripe technology remains a critical stepping stone, providing a cost-effective solution for retail cards, membership programs, and local ID badges.
Finding local suppliers for high-precision magnetic stripe laying equipment in Dili or other major municipalities can be difficult. This makes international partnerships with reliable Industry 4.0 manufacturers in China essential. By integrating advanced tension-controlled roll-to-roll tape positioning and modern heat-pressing technologies, local card printing factories can ensure compliance with international ISO/IEC 7811 standards. This guarantees that domestic payment networks can interface smoothly with global POS networks.
Modern magnetic tape laying systems use PLC-controlled temperature zones. This maintains uniform heat transfer to bond magnetic tracks to PVC, PET, or paper substrates without warping the material.
Our machinery supports simultaneous laying of up to 8 tracks. This accommodates both High Coercivity (HiCo 2750 Oe/4000 Oe) and Low Coercivity (LoCo 300 Oe) magnetic tape configurations seamlessly.
Equipped with smart diagnostics and remote monitoring systems. This allows our engineers to perform troubleshooting and system calibrations directly from our R&D center in Shenzhen, reducing downtime in remote locations like Timor-Leste.
Established in 2008, Wentong has over 20 years of experience in developing and manufacturing of smart card machines and post-press equipment. We have been committed to constantly growing and improving our products and service to meet all our customer’s requirements for production of children’s books, board books, paper cards and plastic cards.
Our wide range of products includes die cutting machine, card collating machine, card punching machine, SIM card production machine, board book mounting and gluing machine, automatic packaging machine, ultrasonic welding system, magnetic tape laying machine, sheet cleaning machine, etc. which are widely applied in a variety of industries such as card production, printing & packaging, children’s book, paper products, etc.
Our factory is located in Guangming District, Shenzhen, China. It covers an area of about 5,000 square meters. The workshop is divided into processing area, assembly area, machine display area and product display area. Strict implementation of the 5S standard allows employees to work in a safe and comfortable space. The company has a professional R & D team, experienced assembly engineers, skilled electricians and fitters.
Operating mechanical systems in hot, humid climates like Timor-Leste requires careful engineering. Our magnetic tape laying machines are built with anti-condensation enclosures and industrial-grade electrical components. This prevents component breakdown and premature wear caused by tropical humidity.
Additionally, our equipment is designed to handle local infrastructure limitations. Variable voltage profiles and power spikes are managed by integrated stabilizers within our control panels, keeping production run rates stable. Whether printing local transit cards, voter ID cards, or educational materials, these machines deliver the precision needed for modern public sector projects in Dili, Baucau, and beyond.
In addition to smart card production, we help printers expand their product offerings. Using die-cutting, gluing, and mounting systems, local providers can produce board books, flashcards, and interactive learning tools. This supports the Ministry of Education's regional learning materials program, reducing reliance on imports and keeping manufacturing jobs in Timor-Leste.
