What Makes Magnetic Stripe Cards So Effective
Magnetic stripe cards work by storing data on a thin band of magnetic material on the back of the card. When swiped through a compatible reader, that data is instantly read and processed. This simple but powerful technology has stood the test of time because it is dependable and easy to use for both businesses and their customers.
For businesses, the beauty of magnetic stripe cards lies in how seamlessly they integrate into existing point-of-sale systems, loyalty platforms, and access control setups. You do not need expensive new equipment in most cases. The cards simply work with what you already have, making them a smart, budget-friendly investment.
Industries That Rely on Magnetic Stripe Cards Every Day
Magnetic stripe cards are not limited to one type of business. Hotels use them as room keys. Retailers use them for gift cards and loyalty programs. Gyms use them for member check-in. Corporations use them for employee ID and access badges. The range of applications is truly impressive, and we have helped businesses across all of these industries.
We have worked with healthcare offices that needed patient ID cards, universities that needed alumni credentials, and entertainment venues that needed player cards for their gaming floors. No matter the industry, the need for a reliable, data-carrying card solution remains constant, and we are proud to be the company that delivers it.

From first call to final delivery, we are with you every step of the way, making sure you are satisfied with every single card.
The Technology Behind Magnetic Stripe Cards
Understanding how magnetic stripe technology works can help you make smarter decisions about how to use it for your business. The magnetic stripe on the back of a card contains tiny iron-based particles that can be magnetized to represent data. Most cards use one, two, or three tracks, each capable of storing different types of information depending on your needs.
Track 1 can hold up to 79 alphanumeric characters, which makes it ideal for storing names and account numbers. Track 2 is the most commonly used for financial and retail applications and holds up to 40 numeric characters. Track 3 is less commonly used but supports additional read-write functionality that some specialized systems require.
High Coercivity vs. Low Coercivity Cards
One of the first technical decisions you will face when ordering magnetic stripe cards is choosing between high coercivity (HiCo) and low coercivity (LoCo) cards. HiCo cards require a stronger magnetic field to encode and are more resistant to accidental erasure, making them the better choice for long-term use like employee ID cards or membership cards.
LoCo cards are easier to encode and re-encode, making them a great fit for temporary or short-term uses like hotel key cards or event passes. They are typically less expensive to produce, which makes them attractive for high-volume, disposable applications. We offer both types and can help you decide which is right for your specific program.
Encoding Options and Data Customization
We can encode your magnetic stripe cards with virtually any data format your system requires. Whether you need sequential numbering, member ID codes, or custom alphanumeric strings, our encoding process is precise and consistent. Every card in your batch will be encoded exactly as specified, so your systems read them without error every single time.
Custom encoding is available for all three tracks, and we can match the format used by your existing card readers without requiring system upgrades on your end. This makes transitioning to a new card design or adding new card programs to your operation incredibly smooth and virtually painless for your team.
Compatibility With Card Readers and POS Systems
One of the most common questions we hear is whether our magnetic stripe cards will work with existing equipment. The short answer is almost always yes. Our cards are manufactured to meet ISO 7811 standards, which is the global standard for magnetic stripe cards, meaning they are compatible with the vast majority of card readers, POS systems, and access control devices currently in use.
If you are unsure about compatibility, just give us a call. Our knowledgeable team can walk you through the technical details and confirm that your new cards will work perfectly with your setup. We pride ourselves on getting it right the first time, every time, so you never have to deal with the frustration of cards that do not function as expected.
Loyalty Programs Powered by Magnetic Stripe Cards
Loyalty programs are one of the most proven ways to grow repeat business, and magnetic stripe cards are one of the most reliable tools for running them. When customers carry your card in their wallet, your brand stays top of mind every single day. That constant visibility translates directly into more frequent visits and higher spending per trip.
Businesses that invest in plastic loyalty cards often see significant lifts in customer retention and average transaction size. A well-designed loyalty card does more than track points. It communicates value, signals exclusivity, and builds an emotional connection between the customer and the brand that digital alternatives struggle to replicate.
How Loyalty Cards Drive Revenue
Research has shown that loyalty programs can boost sales by as much as 35-50% when implemented correctly. The key is making participation easy and rewarding. Magnetic stripe loyalty cards do both, allowing customers to simply swipe at checkout and see their rewards build automatically without any extra effort on their part.
From coffee shops to car washes, businesses across virtually every category have discovered that a loyalty card program pays for itself many times over. The upfront cost of designing and printing cards is minimal compared to the long-term revenue gains from customers who come back again and again because they are invested in earning their next reward.
Designing a Loyalty Card That Gets Used
A loyalty card that sits forgotten at the bottom of a drawer is not doing your business any favors. That is why we put serious thought into helping our clients create cards that people actually want to carry and use. Bold colors, clean design, and a clear reward message all contribute to a card that customers feel good about pulling out at the register.
We work with you to make sure your loyalty card reflects your brand accurately and attractively. Your logo, your colors, your messaging. Every detail is customizable, and our team will guide you through the design process to ensure the final product looks as impressive as the program behind it.
Combining Loyalty and Gift Card Programs
Many of our clients find that combining a loyalty program with a gift card program creates a powerful one-two punch for customer acquisition and retention. Gift cards bring new customers through the door, while loyalty cards keep them coming back. Together, they form a self-reinforcing cycle that drives consistent revenue growth month after month.
We can produce both types of cards in matching designs so your branding stays consistent across both programs. And because both types use magnetic stripe technology, they can often be managed within the same point-of-sale system, reducing the operational complexity of running two programs simultaneously. It is a smart, scalable approach to building customer relationships.
Gift Cards That Grow Your Business
| Card Type | Best Use | Typical Volume Range |
|---|---|---|
| Magnetic Stripe Gift Card | Retail, Restaurants, Spas | 250-10,000 cards |
| Loyalty Rewards Card | Any repeat-visit business | 100-5,000 cards |
| Membership Card | Gyms, Clubs, Organizations | 50-2,500 cards |
| Employee ID / Access Card | Corporate, Healthcare, Schools | 25-1,000 cards |
Plastic gift cards are one of the smartest investments a retail business can make. Studies consistently show that customers who receive gift cards typically spend 20-40% more than the face value of the card, which means your business earns revenue beyond the original gift card purchase. That is real, measurable value that paper gift certificates simply cannot match.
Switching from paper to plastic gift cards can increase sales by up to 100% according to industry data. The difference is not just visual. Plastic feels more valuable to customers, it is harder to lose, and it lasts much longer. A plastic gift card can survive a trip through the washing machine. A paper certificate cannot.
Why Plastic Outperforms Paper Every Time
Plastic gift cards signal professionalism and permanence in a way that paper alternatives never will. When a customer receives a plastic gift card, they perceive it as something worth keeping, something worth using. That perception drives behavior, and behavior drives sales. It really is that straightforward, and the results speak for themselves consistently.
Beyond the visual appeal, plastic cards are simply more durable. They fit in a standard wallet slot, they do not tear or fade, and they retain their magnetic stripe encoding reliably over years of use. For businesses running ongoing gift card programs, that durability reduces card replacement costs and keeps customers happy every time they swipe.
Custom Gift Card Design Options
Every element of your gift card design is customizable through our process. From full-bleed photography to spot colors and metallic accents, we offer a wide range of print finishes and design options that make your card look stunning. Your gift cards should be something customers are proud to give and excited to receive, and we help make that happen.
We also offer seasonal and limited-edition card designs for clients who want to create special holiday or promotional versions of their gift cards. These limited runs are a great way to generate buzz, encourage impulse purchases, and give your loyal customers a reason to talk about your brand. Creativity in card design is one of the easiest marketing wins available to small and mid-size businesses.
Getting Your Gift Cards to Market Quickly
We understand that timing matters in business. A gift card program that launches two weeks after the holiday rush is not very useful. That is why we work hard to turn around orders efficiently without sacrificing quality. Our production process is streamlined, and we ship nationally so you can count on receiving your cards when you need them.
Need to place a rush order or check on delivery timelines? Call us at 800-835-7919 and we will give you a straight answer fast. We value your time as much as you do, and we make it a priority to communicate clearly and deliver reliably on every single order, no matter the size.
Membership and ID Cards That Build Belonging
There is something meaningful about belonging to a group, and a well-designed membership card makes that feeling tangible. Whether your organization is a gym, a professional association, a university alumni network, or a union, a physical membership card communicates credibility, inclusion, and value in a way that nothing digital can fully replace.
We produce membership and ID cards for organizations of every size and type across the country. Our cards are durable, professionally printed, and fully customizable to match your organization's branding and identity. From logo placement to color coding for different membership tiers, every detail is in your hands.
Employee ID Cards and Workplace Security
Employee ID cards serve a dual purpose. They identify individuals and they control access to secure areas, systems, or information. A well-implemented ID card program helps businesses maintain a professional environment while also protecting sensitive spaces from unauthorized entry. It is a simple solution with a significant security impact that many organizations overlook until they actually need it.
Our employee ID cards can include magnetic stripes for time and attendance tracking, access control, or cafeteria point-of-sale systems. They can also include photos printed directly on the card for quick visual verification by security personnel. We make it easy to design a card that does everything your security program requires, all in one clean, professional package.
Alumni and University Cards
University alumni cards create a lasting connection between graduates and their institutions. They open doors, sometimes literally, by granting access to campus facilities, libraries, and events. They also serve as a proud symbol of achievement that alumni are genuinely happy to carry in their wallets for years, sometimes decades, after graduation day.
We work with educational institutions to produce alumni cards that reflect the school's brand with accuracy and pride. Whether you need a run of 500 cards for a recent graduating class or an ongoing supply for a growing alumni network, we can handle the volume and maintain consistent quality across every single card in every single batch.
Union Cards and Professional Credentials
Union membership cards are more than just an ID. They are a symbol of solidarity, professional standing, and earned credentials. We produce union cards that are durable, clearly printed, and encoded with the information your organization requires. Many unions also use magnetic stripe encoding for member benefits tracking or access to union hall facilities.
Professional associations, trade groups, and certifying bodies also rely on us for credential cards that their members can carry with confidence. A well-produced professional credential card communicates seriousness and expertise, which can make a real difference in how clients and colleagues perceive a card holder in any professional setting.
Card Printers and Supplies Shipped Nationally
Having the right cards is only part of the equation. If you need the ability to print cards in-house, manage your own encoding, or produce cards on demand, we have you covered there too. We carry a strong selection of card printers and all the refill supplies you need to keep them running smoothly, and we ship everything right to your door no matter where you are in the country.
In-house card printing gives businesses a level of flexibility and control that ordering externally cannot always match. You can print cards on demand, update designs quickly, and manage your inventory without waiting on outside production timelines. For businesses with high turnover or frequently changing personnel, this capability is genuinely invaluable.
Types of Card Printers We Carry
We offer card printers ranging from compact desktop models ideal for small offices to high-volume production printers built for large organizations. Whether you need to print a handful of employee badges per week or thousands of cards per month, there is a printer in our lineup that fits your volume, your budget, and your technical requirements perfectly.
- Single-sided desktop card printers for low-volume ID badge printing
- Dual-sided printers for printing on both sides of the card in one pass
- High-volume production printers for large batch printing operations
- Retransfer printers for edge-to-edge, over-the-edge printing quality

We stock a comprehensive selection of printer ribbons, cleaning kits, blank card stock, and other consumables to keep your printer running at peak performance.

Call 800-835-7919 and let us make sure your card printing setup is everything it needs to be for your business right now.
Specialty Cards for Unique Business Needs
Sometimes a standard card just does not cut it. Some businesses need something that stands out, something that makes a statement the moment it lands in someone's hand. That is where our specialty card options come in, offering materials, shapes, and finishes that go far beyond what you would expect from a typical card printer or supplier.
We offer clear plastic cards, custom-shaped cards, and even luxury metal cards crafted from materials like stainless steel or gold-tone metal. These premium options are particularly popular for VIP programs, exclusive memberships, and high-end brands that want their cards to communicate the same level of quality as their products and services.
Clear Plastic Cards
Clear plastic cards create a striking visual effect that immediately sets a brand apart. Because the card is transparent, design elements appear to float, creating a modern, high-tech look that customers notice and remember. Clear cards are especially popular in the beauty, fashion, spa, and entertainment industries where aesthetics are a core part of the brand experience.
Despite their eye-catching appearance, clear cards are just as functional as standard white PVC cards. They can include magnetic stripes, barcodes, and full-color printing just like any other card in our lineup. The visual impact comes as a bonus on top of full functionality, making them a genuinely smart choice for brands that want to stand out from competitors without sacrificing performance.
Metal Cards for Premium Programs
Metal cards are the ultimate expression of exclusivity and quality. When a customer or member receives a metal card, the weight and texture alone communicate that they are part of something truly special. Metal cards are incredibly durable, resist bending and cracking, and maintain their premium appearance for years with virtually no maintenance required at all.
We produce metal cards in stainless steel, gold tone, black metal, and other finishes that can be engraved, etched, or printed with your branding. These cards are ideal for high-end loyalty programs, exclusive membership clubs, VIP tiers, and any brand that wants to create an unforgettable first impression. The reaction they generate from recipients is consistently and genuinely remarkable.
Custom Shapes and Unique Card Formats
Standard credit-card-sized plastic is not the only option. We can produce cards in custom shapes that reflect your brand personality, whether that is a rounded rectangle, a key tag, a mini card, or a die-cut shape that matches your logo or product. Custom shapes are a powerful way to create a card that is instantly recognizable and impossible to confuse with competitors.
Key tag cards are especially popular for loyalty and membership programs because they attach directly to a customer's key ring, ensuring your brand is always visible and always accessible. Combo packages that include a full-size card and a matching key tag give customers the option to carry your brand in whatever way works best for their daily routine.
Access Control and Hotel Key Cards
Security and access management are mission-critical concerns for hotels, corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, and entertainment venues. Magnetic stripe cards remain one of the most widely deployed technologies for managing physical access because they are reliable, affordable, and compatible with a vast installed base of readers and lock systems already in place across thousands of properties nationwide.
We produce hotel key cards, corporate access badges, and other access control cards with precision and consistency. Every card is encoded to your exact specifications, ensuring seamless compatibility with your existing lock systems. Whether you are replacing a worn-out supply or launching a new property, we have the cards and expertise to support you.
Hotel Key Cards and Guest Experience
A hotel key card is often one of the first branded items a guest touches when they check in. That small moment of contact is an opportunity to reinforce your property's identity and quality. A well-designed, durable key card communicates professionalism and attention to detail that sets the tone for the entire guest experience from the very first second.
We produce hotel key cards in custom designs that feature your property's logo, color scheme, and any messaging you want to include. Full-color printing, UV coating, and durable PVC construction ensure that your cards look great and function reliably throughout every guest's stay. And when it is time to reorder, we make the process quick, easy, and consistent with your existing design.
Corporate Access and Security Badges
Corporate access cards do double duty as both a security credential and a brand ambassador. When employees wear or carry a well-designed ID badge, it projects a professional image to clients, visitors, and colleagues alike. At the same time, the magnetic stripe on the back quietly handles the critical work of controlling access to secure zones within your facility without drawing unnecessary attention.
We work with facility managers, HR departments, and security teams to produce access cards that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. From encoding access levels to adding employee photos and department color coding, our cards can handle everything your security program demands, all produced with the quality and consistency your operation depends on every single day.
Casino Player Cards and Entertainment Venues
Casino player cards are a specialized application where accuracy, durability, and encoding precision are absolutely non-negotiable. Player tracking systems depend on reliable magnetic stripe reads every time a card is inserted, and any inconsistency in card quality can disrupt the gaming experience and erode customer trust in your loyalty program almost instantly.
Our casino and entertainment venue cards are produced to exacting standards that meet the demanding requirements of high-traffic gaming environments. We understand the stakes involved, and we deliver cards that perform flawlessly shift after shift, day after day. When your player loyalty program is a major revenue driver, card quality is simply not an area where you can afford to compromise at all.
Frequently Asked Questions About Magnetic Stripe Cards
We hear a lot of great questions from businesses exploring magnetic stripe cards for the first time, and even from experienced buyers who want to make sure they are getting the most from their card programs. Here are some of the most common questions we receive, along with straightforward answers that we hope help make your decision easier and clearer.
If you do not find the answer you are looking for here, the best thing to do is simply give us a call. Our team is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely enjoys helping customers figure out the right solution. No pressure, no jargon, just honest answers from people who know their product inside and out every day.
How Many Cards Should I Order?
This is one of the most common questions we receive, and the answer depends on several factors including your customer base size, your program goals, and your budget. As a general rule, ordering more cards at once reduces your per-card cost significantly. Many clients find that ordering a minimum of 250-500 cards makes the most financial sense for small to mid-size programs.
For larger organizations launching enterprise-wide programs, orders in the thousands are standard and cost-efficient. We can help you estimate the right quantity based on your specific situation and growth projections. Getting the quantity right from the start helps you avoid rush reorders later and ensures your program launches smoothly and fully stocked from day one.
How Long Does It Take to Receive My Cards?
Production and shipping timelines vary based on order complexity, quantity, and the level of customization involved. Simple orders with standard designs can often be produced and shipped relatively quickly, while more complex specialty orders may require additional lead time for quality assurance and encoding verification before we ship them out to your location.
We always recommend planning ahead and placing orders with enough lead time to accommodate production and shipping, especially for seasonal programs or grand opening launches. If you have a tight deadline, tell us upfront and we will do everything we can to accommodate your timeline. We would rather know about time constraints early so we can deliver great results under pressure.
Can I Reorder the Same Design Later?
Absolutely. We keep records of your card designs and encoding specifications so that reorders are quick, accurate, and consistent with your original order. You should never have to start from scratch on a reorder, and with us, you will not. Just contact us with your reorder details and we will get the process moving efficiently and accurately right away.
Maintaining design consistency across card batches is important for brand credibility, and it is something we take seriously on every reorder we process. Your customers should not be able to tell the difference between a card printed in your first order and one printed two years later. That level of consistency is a commitment we make to every client in our growing national network.
Case Study: How a Regional Retailer Doubled Gift Card Revenue
One of our long-standing clients, a regional retail chain with 12 locations, came to us several years ago after struggling with a paper gift certificate program that was generating minimal sales and frequent customer complaints about lost or damaged certificates. They were skeptical that switching to plastic would make a meaningful difference, but they decided to give it a try with a modest initial order.
Within the first holiday season after switching to plastic magnetic stripe gift cards, their gift card sales more than doubled compared to the previous year. Customers responded immediately to the professional appearance of the new cards, and the reduction in reported lost or damaged certificates dropped to almost zero. The program paid for itself within the first month of the new holiday season launch.
What Made the Difference
The retailer credited several factors for the dramatic improvement. First, the visual appeal of the new cards encouraged more impulse purchases at checkout. Second, because plastic cards are more durable and feel more valuable, customers were more motivated to use them rather than set them aside and forget about them the way they sometimes did with paper certificates.
Third, the magnetic stripe encoding meant their existing POS system could process gift card transactions instantly and accurately, reducing cashier errors and checkout time. The operational efficiency gains alone were worth the switch, but the revenue lift was what truly convinced the ownership team that plastic gift cards were an essential part of their business strategy going forward.
Lessons for Other Retailers
The takeaway from this case is clear. If your business is still using paper gift certificates or a digital-only gifting option, you are almost certainly leaving significant revenue on the table every single month. The upfront cost of transitioning to plastic magnetic stripe gift cards is modest, and the return on that investment can be both rapid and substantial when the program is executed well.
We would love to help your business write a similar success story. Our team can walk you through the entire process, from design to encoding to delivery, and help you launch a gift card program that makes a real, measurable impact on your bottom line. The first step is simply picking up the phone and starting a conversation with our friendly, experienced team today.
Expanding the Program with Loyalty Cards
After their gift card success, this same retailer came back to us to add a magnetic stripe loyalty program. They used a matching design across both card types for a cohesive brand experience, and within two seasons, their loyalty program members were visiting an average of 40% more frequently than non-members. The combination of gift and loyalty cards created a self-reinforcing cycle of customer engagement that continues to grow their business steadily year after year.
This kind of compounding benefit is exactly what we help businesses unlock when they invest in a well-designed card program. It is not just about the cards themselves. It is about the strategy behind them, and that is where our experience and expertise as a long-term partner genuinely make a meaningful difference for every client we work with across the country.

Every detail matters when you are trying to make a strong first impression, and we help you nail every single one.
Postcard Mailers with Embedded Cards
Our postcard mailers with embedded or affixed magnetic stripe cards achieve response rates that are roughly double those of traditional direct mail pieces without a card. There is something about receiving a piece of mail that contains an actual physical card that compels people to open it, read it, and respond. It is tactile, it is immediate, and it is highly effective at driving new customer acquisition.
We design, print, encode, affix, and mail everything in-house, making us a true one-stop shop for card-based direct mail campaigns. Whether you are targeting a specific zip code or mailing to a national list, our mailing services can scale to meet your needs efficiently and cost-effectively.
