General and Applications
What is a Blank Magnetic Strip Card?
A blank magnetic stripe Card is a plastic card with a magnetic stripe on the back, without pre-printed designs or encoded data. It is used for applications like access control, gift cards, membership cards, and employee IDs.
What are the main applications of blank magnetic stripe Cards?
Blank Magnetic Stripe Cards are ideal for company usage, including secure staff ID cards, gift cards, loyalty programs, access control for buildings, time and attendance tracking, and cashless payment systems.
What is the difference between HiCo and LoCo Blank Magnetic Strip Cards?
HiCo (High Coercivity, 2750 Oersted) cards are more durable, resisting data loss from external magnetic fields, and are suited for frequent use like access control or credit cards. LoCo (Low Coercivity, 300 Oersted) cards are less durable but cost-effective for short-term uses like gift cards or hotel keys.
Technical and Customization
What are the magnetic stripe options for Blank Magnetic Stripe Cards?
Blank Magnetic Strip Cards feature 2-track or 3-track magnetic stripes (HiCo or LoCo). They can also be combined with NFC chips like NTAG®213, NTAG®215, NTAG®216, or MIFARE® Classic 1K, supporting ISO/IEC 14443A protocol at 13.56 MHz for dual functionality.
Can I print with my own printer?
Yes, they are compatible with inkjet, thermal, or re-transfer printers like Zebra, Evolis, Fargo, and Magicard. Inkjet printing requires a special PVC card tray for optimal results.
How do I encode data on a magnetic stripe card?
Data can be encoded on the magnetic stripe using a magnetic stripe encoder or reader/writer, supporting formats like ISO 7810/7811. Common data includes access codes, account details, or membership IDs. We offer encoding guides or professional services.
What customization options are available?
Customization includes magnetic stripe type (HiCo/LoCo, 2-track/3-track), printing with logos or designs, materials (PVC, PET, recycled PVC, composite), surface finishes (glossy, matte, frosted), and optional features like holographic overlays or hole punching.
Are magnetic stripe cards rewritable?
Yes, magnetic stripes can be rewritten multiple times (≥100,000 cycles for supported chips), allowing updates to data like access codes or account balances using a compatible encoder.
Do Blank Magnetic Strip Cards support anti-collision for multiple card reading?
Yes, when combined with NFC chips, the magnetic stripe cards support anti-collision, allowing multiple cards to be read simultaneously by compatible readers.
Ordering and Durability
What materials are used in blank magnetic strip cards?
They are made from PVC, PET, recycled PVC, or composite materials, with a laminated, waterproof design for durability.
What are the size and weight of the Cards?
Blank Magnetic Strip Cards are CR80 standard credit card size (85.5 × 54 mm), with a thickness of 0.84 mm ± 0.04 mm and an approximate weight of 5.8g.
How durable are the magnetic stripe cards?
They are waterproof, dustproof, anti-static, and bend-resistant, with an operating temperature range of -20℃ to +60℃, storage temperature of -40℃ to +85℃, and suitable for 20%–90% RH humidity.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for blank magnetic stripe cards?
The MOQ is 500 pieces, with inner packing of 200 pieces per box and outer packing of 1000 or 3000 pieces per carton.
