What Makes a Magnetic Stripe Card So Powerful?

Magnetic stripe cards carry encoded data on a thin band of magnetic material on the back of the card. This stripe stores important information that can be read quickly by a card swipe machine or reader. They are used in everything from hotel key systems to retail loyalty programs, making them one of the most versatile card formats available in the market today.

The technology behind magnetic stripe cards has been trusted for decades. It is reliable, cost-effective, and widely compatible with existing card readers across countless industries. Because so many businesses already have the hardware in place to read these cards, switching to or adding magnetic stripe cards to your operations is easier than you might think.

We offer magnetic stripe cards in both low-coercivity (LoCo) and high-coercivity (HiCo) formats. HiCo cards are more durable and better suited for frequent-use applications, while LoCo cards work great for short-term or single-use purposes. Our team can help you decide which type fits your specific needs best.

Industries That Rely on Magnetic Stripe Cards Every Day

Magnetic stripe cards are a backbone technology for dozens of industries. Hotels use them for room access. Retailers use them to run loyalty and gift card programs. Gyms and clubs use them for membership check-in. Casinos use them to track player activity and reward loyal guests. The range of applications is truly impressive and growing.

Schools and universities also benefit from magnetic stripe student ID cards, which allow for library access, cafeteria payments, and building entry all in one convenient card. Businesses use them for employee time-tracking and secure door access. Even transportation systems rely on them for fare cards and transit passes that make daily commuting easier for millions of people.

No matter your industry, we can customize a magnetic stripe card solution that fits your workflow and your budget. Our experts understand the nuances of each sector and are eager to guide you toward the best possible product for your situation. Call 800-835-7919 today to speak with someone who truly understands your needs.

LoCo vs. HiCo: Understanding Your Magnetic Stripe Options

Choosing between low-coercivity and high-coercivity magnetic stripes might sound complicated, but we make it simple. LoCo cards, encoded at around 300 Oersteds, are ideal for short-term use like hotel key cards or event passes where the data does not need to survive heavy repeated swiping. They are a smart, affordable choice for temporary applications.

HiCo cards, encoded at 2750 Oersteds or higher, are the go-to option for cards that will be used frequently over a long period of time. Gift cards, loyalty cards, and employee ID badges benefit greatly from HiCo encoding because the data stays intact even after hundreds or thousands of swipes. They resist accidental erasure from everyday magnetic fields far better than LoCo cards.

We stock both types and can help you match the right magnetic stripe format to your specific program. Our goal is always to give you the most effective and durable product for your investment, so your card program runs smoothly from day one through the final swipe.

Gift Cards and Loyalty Programs: Growing Your Sales the Smart Way

Did you know that retailers who switch from paper gift certificates to plastic gift cards often see sales increases of up to 100%? That is not a typo. The professional look and feel of a plastic gift card communicates value in a way that paper simply cannot match. Customers spend more, return more often, and are more likely to introduce new customers to your brand when they give a gift card as a present.

Loyalty cards work on a similar principle. When customers carry your branded card in their wallet, your business is always top of mind. Every time they open their wallet, they see your logo - and that consistent visual reminder drives repeat visits and higher spending over time. It is one of the most cost-effective marketing tools a business can use.

Why Plastic Gift Cards Outperform Paper Certificates

Paper gift certificates are easy to lose, easy to damage, and honestly, they do not look very impressive. A custom plastic gift card, on the other hand, looks and feels like it belongs alongside a credit card in your customer's wallet. That perceived value is not just psychological - it translates directly into dollars spent and loyalty earned for your business.

Plastic gift cards are also far more durable. They survive being tossed in a purse, dropped on the floor, or run through a washing machine in a pants pocket. Paper certificates rarely survive any of these scenarios. When your gift card survives and stays looking great, it keeps working for your brand long after the purchase date, extending your marketing reach effortlessly.

Businesses that invest in professional plastic gift cards also tend to see higher redemption rates compared to paper alternatives. Customers are more likely to use - and reload - a card that feels valuable to them. That reload behavior is where loyalty programs truly shine, turning a one-time gift into a long-term customer relationship that benefits your bottom line continuously.

Building a Loyalty Program That Keeps Customers Coming Back

A well-designed loyalty card program rewards your best customers for doing what they already love - shopping with you. Points programs, punch cards, and tiered reward systems all become significantly more effective when anchored by a professional plastic loyalty card. Your brand becomes part of their daily routine, carried with them everywhere they go throughout their busy lives.

We help businesses design loyalty card programs from scratch or upgrade existing ones with better-looking, more durable card stock. Our custom printing capabilities mean your loyalty card can perfectly match your brand colors, logo, and messaging. The result is a card your customers are proud to carry and eager to use every time they visit.

Postcard Mailers: A Surprising Marketing Powerhouse

Our plastic postcard mailers are one of our most exciting and underutilized products. These thick, durable plastic postcards stand out dramatically in a mailbox filled with paper envelopes and flimsy flyers. Studies show that plastic postcard mailers achieve double the response rates of traditional paper mail, making them a seriously smart investment for any direct marketing campaign.

Because they are made of plastic, they are water-resistant and will not crumple or tear during mail delivery. Recipients tend to hold onto them longer because they look and feel more valuable than regular mail pieces. That extended exposure time gives your message more chances to convert a prospect into a paying customer, multiplying the return on your marketing spend.

Security and Access Control: Protecting What Matters Most

Security is not something any organization can afford to take lightly. We offer a powerful range of access control cards designed to help businesses, schools, hotels, and organizations of all sizes manage who goes where and when. From basic magnetic stripe access cards to advanced RFID smart cards with contactless technology, we have the right solution for every security level your operation requires.

Our security cards are built to be durable and tamper-resistant, giving your organization confidence that access credentials will hold up to daily use without degrading in quality or security integrity. We can also help you integrate cards with your existing systems, ensuring a smooth and efficient implementation from day one through years of reliable service.

RFID and Contactless Smart Card Solutions

RFID smart cards represent the cutting edge of access control technology. Using radio frequency identification, these cards communicate with readers without ever needing to make physical contact. A simple tap or wave of the card is all it takes to grant or deny access, making entry points faster, cleaner, and more convenient for everyone moving through a facility every day.

We offer MIFARE DESFire and other RFID formats that meet the highest security standards available in the industry today. These cards support encrypted data transmission, making them extremely difficult to clone or tamper with. For businesses that handle sensitive information, valuable assets, or large numbers of people in controlled spaces, RFID cards offer peace of mind that basic systems simply cannot provide.

Whether you need cards for a single office suite or an entire campus of buildings, we can scale our RFID solutions to match your needs exactly. Our team will walk you through the options, explain the technical specifications in plain language, and help you make a confident, well-informed decision about your organization's security infrastructure going forward.

Hotel Key Cards and Casino Player Cards

Few industries rely on plastic cards more than hospitality and gaming. Hotels depend on magnetic stripe and RFID key cards for smooth, secure guest room access - a fundamental part of the guest experience that shapes first impressions and overall satisfaction. A well-made, professionally printed hotel key card tells guests right away that your property values quality and attention to detail in every aspect of operations.

Casino player cards serve a completely different but equally important purpose. They track player activity, accumulate loyalty points, and unlock rewards that keep guests engaged with your gaming floor. A well-designed player card program can dramatically increase visit frequency and average spend per guest, making it one of the highest-return tools in a casino's marketing toolkit available today.

Employee ID Badges and Organizational Credentials

Employee ID badges do far more than just display a name and photo. They establish trust, reinforce brand identity, control access to restricted areas, and create a sense of unity and professionalism across your entire organization. We produce employee ID badges with magnetic stripes, barcodes, or RFID chips built right in, giving you a single card that handles multiple functions efficiently.

We also specialize in union credentials, alumni cards, and association membership cards that give holders a strong sense of belonging. These cards signal membership in something meaningful, which strengthens loyalty to the organization that issued them. When a card feels well-made and looks genuinely impressive, it elevates the perceived value of the membership itself in the eyes of every cardholder.

Specialty Cards That Make Your Brand Unforgettable

Sometimes a standard plastic card is not enough to capture the level of brand impression you are aiming for. That is exactly why we offer a stunning range of specialty card options designed to turn heads, spark conversations, and leave lasting impressions on everyone who receives them. These are cards that people notice, keep, and talk about long after the moment of first contact with your brand.

From ultra-modern clear plastic cards to jaw-dropping metal cards crafted from stainless steel or gold-finish materials, our specialty lineup gives forward-thinking brands a remarkable edge over the competition. These are not ordinary cards - they are brand experiences in physical form that communicate sophistication, exclusivity, and absolute confidence in your business identity.

Clear Plastic Cards: Transparent and Trend-Setting

Clear plastic cards are visually striking in a way that standard opaque cards simply cannot replicate. The transparent body creates a unique canvas that plays beautifully with light, color, and design elements in ways that feel almost magical when done well. Customers who receive a clear card often comment on how different and impressive it looks compared to every other card in their wallet right now.

We print full-color graphics directly onto clear card stock, creating a layered visual effect that gives your artwork depth and dimensionality. Whether you use clear cards as gift cards, VIP membership cards, or exclusive loyalty rewards, they instantly signal that your brand operates at a higher level than the ordinary competition down the street or across the marketplace today.

Metal Cards: The Ultimate in Luxury Brand Presence

Metal cards are the pinnacle of card craftsmanship, and we are proud to offer them to businesses that want to make an absolutely unforgettable impression. Crafted from materials like stainless steel, brass, or gold-finish alloys, these cards have a satisfying weight and a visual presence that no plastic card can quite match. Recipients almost never throw them away because they feel too valuable and impressive to discard casually.

These cards are ideal for VIP programs, executive membership tiers, premium client gifting, and luxury brand experiences where every detail of the customer interaction needs to communicate exceptional quality and exclusivity. When you hand someone a metal card, you are sending a clear and powerful message: this brand is serious, this relationship matters, and we value you at the highest possible level.

Custom Shapes and Die-Cut Cards

Who says a card has to be a rectangle? Our die-cut and custom-shape cards let your creativity take the wheel. We can produce cards in virtually any shape your design calls for - a key shape for a locksmith, a car shape for an auto dealer, a house shape for a real estate agent. The shape itself becomes part of your marketing message, making the card instantly memorable and deeply on-brand.

Custom-shaped cards are conversation starters. They make people smile, take photos, and share the card with others - essentially turning your marketing material into a word-of-mouth tool with built-in social sharing potential. When your card stands out from the stack, your brand stands out in the mind, and that mental real estate is truly priceless for any business trying to grow and thrive in a competitive marketplace today.

Card Printers: Choosing the Right Machine for Your Business

Selecting the right card printer is one of the most important decisions you will make when building an in-house card program. The right printer saves you time, reduces wasted materials, and consistently delivers the professional card quality your brand deserves. We make it our business to match every customer with the printer that fits their production volume, budget, and quality expectations precisely.

We carry desktop printers for smaller operations and heavy-duty, high-capacity systems for businesses that print in large volumes regularly. Every printer we offer is backed by our knowledgeable team, who can help you with setup, training, and ongoing support. You are never on your own once you purchase a printer through us - we are here for the long run alongside you.

Desktop Printers: Perfect for Growing Businesses

Desktop card printers are an ideal starting point for businesses that want professional-quality results without a massive upfront investment. These compact, user-friendly machines fit easily on a desk or counter and can produce sharp, vibrant, full-color cards with very little training required. Most desktop models can print 100-300 cards per hour, which is more than enough for most small to mid-sized operations running efficiently.

Single-sided desktop printers are our most affordable entry point, while dual-sided models allow you to print full-color graphics and data on both the front and back of each card in one smooth pass. Many models also include built-in magnetic stripe encoding, so you can create complete magnetic stripe cards entirely in-house without outsourcing any step of the production process to anyone else.

High-Volume and Industrial Printers for Enterprise Needs

For organizations that need to print hundreds or thousands of cards per day, we offer high-capacity industrial card printers that are built to run continuously without overheating or jamming. These machines feature large input hoppers, high-speed printing engines, and advanced encoding modules that handle magnetic stripe, RFID, and smart card capabilities all at once in a single automated production run.

Industrial printers are a favorite among universities issuing student IDs, large hotel chains managing room key programs, and corporations running enterprise-wide employee badge systems. The cost per card drops dramatically as volume increases, making a high-capacity printer an excellent financial investment for any organization that prints at scale on a regular and ongoing basis throughout the year.

Ribbons, Cleaning Kits, and Replacement Supplies

A card printer is only as good as the supplies running through it, and we carry everything you need to keep your printer performing at its absolute best. Color YMCKO ribbons deliver vivid, lifelike full-color printing for front-panel graphics and photos. Monochrome ribbons in black, blue, silver, and gold are perfect for single-color text and barcode printing applications that require crisp, clean results every time.

Cleaning kits are essential for maintaining print head health and preventing smears, streaks, or faded images from ruining your cards. We recommend regular cleaning cycles as outlined in your printer's manual, and our cleaning cards and rollers make the process quick and easy. Keeping your printer clean and well-maintained extends its lifespan significantly and protects your investment over many years of regular use and high-quality output.

Frequently Asked Questions About Magnetic Stripe Cards and Our Services

We hear great questions from customers every single day, and we love answering them. Understanding the products you are ordering helps you make smarter decisions for your business and ensures you get exactly the results you are hoping for. Below are some of the most common questions we receive, along with clear, honest answers from our experienced team members.

If your question is not covered below, we encourage you to reach out to us directly. Our team is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help you figure out the best path forward for your specific card program needs, whatever they happen to be.

How Many Tracks Does a Magnetic Stripe Card Have?

Most standard magnetic stripe cards have three data tracks, commonly referred to as Track 1, Track 2, and Track 3. Track 1 holds the most data and can store alphanumeric characters including cardholder names. Track 2 is the most widely read track in retail and access control systems and stores numeric data. Track 3 is less commonly used but supports read-write functions in certain specialized applications and industries.

When you order magnetic stripe cards from us, we can pre-encode your cards with specific data on any track combination you need. Alternatively, we can supply blank HiCo or LoCo cards for you to encode yourself using your own card printer and encoding software. Either way, we make sure the cards you receive are ready to work right out of the box for your program needs.

Can I Print Cards In-House After Ordering Blank Stock?

Absolutely - and many of our customers do exactly this. Ordering blank PVC card stock from us and printing in-house using one of our card printers gives you maximum flexibility and control over your card program. You can print on demand, update card designs quickly, and manage personalization like names, photos, and unique barcodes all without waiting on an outside vendor to complete the job for you.

We make in-house card printing easy by offering compatible blank card stock, printers, ribbons, and accessories all in one place. Our team can recommend the exact combination of products that will work together seamlessly for your specific application and volume requirements. Call us at 800-835-7919 and we will help you build the right in-house card production setup from start to finish today.

Working with multiple vendors for different parts of your card program creates unnecessary complexity, compatibility risks, and communication headaches that slow you down and cost you money.

Case Studies: Real Businesses, Real Results With Plastic Cards

We love sharing real success stories because they demonstrate what is truly possible when a business commits to a well-designed card program. The following examples are representative of the kinds of results our customers regularly achieve when they make the switch to high-quality plastic cards for their gift, loyalty, membership, and access control programs.

These outcomes are not outliers - they are consistent patterns we see repeated across industries and business sizes. When you combine a well-designed card with a smart program strategy, the results can be genuinely transformational for your brand's revenue, retention, and reputation in the marketplace.

Retail Boutique: Gift Cards Double Holiday Revenue

A mid-size retail boutique came to us frustrated with their paper gift certificate program. Customers frequently lost the certificates, redemption rates were low, and the certificates did not reflect the upscale image the store had worked hard to build over many years. After switching to custom-printed plastic gift cards with magnetic stripe encoding, the boutique saw immediate and dramatic improvements in both sales and customer perception.

During the first holiday season with the new plastic gift cards, the store reported a 94% increase in gift card sales compared to the prior year with paper certificates. Customers praised the cards for looking and feeling premium, and many returned to reload value onto their existing cards - behavior the store had almost never seen with the old paper program. The cards paid for themselves many times over within just the first few months of the new program launch.

Hotel Chain: Streamlining Guest Access With Magnetic Stripe Key Cards

A regional hotel chain operating multiple properties needed a more reliable and professional key card solution that could be managed efficiently across all locations simultaneously. Their previous supplier had inconsistent quality control, resulting in key cards that frequently demagnetized and caused guest complaints at the front desk during busy check-in periods throughout the year.

After switching to our HiCo magnetic stripe hotel key cards, the chain reported a significant reduction in front desk complaints related to key card failures. The cards held their encoding reliably through the full duration of guest stays, and the professional custom printing made each card a branded touchpoint that reinforced the hotel's visual identity. Staff efficiency improved, guest satisfaction scores went up, and the chain has been ordering from us ever since with complete satisfaction.

Fitness Club: Loyalty Cards Drive Membership Retention

A growing fitness club was struggling with member retention - a common challenge in the health and wellness industry where competition is fierce and customer loyalty can be fragile. They implemented a branded plastic loyalty card program using our custom-printed membership cards with magnetic stripe encoding for check-in tracking and points accumulation tied to visits, referrals, and class attendance participation.

Within six months of launching the program, the club saw a measurable improvement in member retention rates and a noticeable increase in average visit frequency per member per month. Members reported feeling more connected to the club community because of the physical card they carried with them. The club also used the card data to identify their most loyal members and reward them with special perks, further deepening engagement and long-term brand loyalty throughout their entire membership base.
