We confirm the chip before printing, and can send blank test samples to try on your own doors first.
About this product
Many properties still run magnetic stripe locks on some doors, or are upgrading floor by floor. Dual-technology cards carry both a stripe and an RFID chip, so a single card works everywhere during the changeover.
Stripes are available in high or low coercivity to match your encoder.
Every card is standard CR80 size, 85.6 x 54 mm, made from PVC and printed full color on both sides with your artwork. The stripe itself comes in black, gold or silver.
Choose a HiCo (2750 Oe) or LoCo (300 Oe) stripe to match the encoder at your front desk. For dual-technology cards, we add a 13.56 MHz or 125 kHz chip alongside the stripe, so the same key opens magnetic stripe doors and RFID doors while you move to RFID floor by floor.
Orders start from a few hundred cards, with a lead time of 4 to 8 weeks.
