Magnetic cards - Import export

The magnetic stripe is the classic feature of a Plastic card. The stripe is covered with a magnetic metallic oxide - it can be encoded and read. Magnetic stripes are cheap data carrier for universal use. The encoded data can be changed in contrary to a fix printed individual barcode. The price advantage in comparison to other data carrier such as Contact- or RFID chips and the variability of data makes the magnetic stripe a widely application in many fields. There are two different types of magnetic stripes. The resistance against deleting (coercitivity) makes the difference. The capacity is the same in both types. LoCo coercivity: 300 Oersted* colour: brown or black prone to magnetic perturbation HiCo coercitivity: 2750 Oersted* or 4000 Oersted* colour: black relatively resistant against magnetic perturbation *Oersted (Oe) is the unit for magnetic field strength Both types do have the same measures and are standardized acc. to DIN 7811. Standard Plastic cards with magnetic...

There are applications where the Plastic card needs to fit in different systems. In this case a Hybrid card is the ideal solution. The classic example is a bank card. The magnetic stripe contains data for the ATM and statement printer, the contact chip is the electronical purse. Wherever different Hardware or different generations of reading units are in use, Hybrid cards are offering the functions for clients or employees in just one card. If, for example, in a company the time control and the accounting for the canteen is made by different suppliers that are not connected, the Hybrid card can offer access to both systems. Please do not hesitate to send us your requests, we are there for your special demand!

Barcodes can be read by machines and can be used in various applications:in merchandise management systems as well as an economic alternative to magnetic stripes on Client cards for example. Access control and ticketing systems work reliably with Barcodes - the use is very common. According to the purpose Barcodes are generated in different types. Barcodes for the grocery trade consist of 8 or 13 digits, the barcodes are submitted in Germany by the CCG in Cologne. In the pharnaceutical industry the so called NDC or PIP Code is encrypted in the Barcode and in the field of transports there are more and more two-dimensioned Codes used. Usually the Plastic cards are printed in Offset and afterwards the Barcode or QR-Code is printed individually on each card. We follow strictly the specification of the customer for the type of Barcode and only after the verification on the reading device the personalisation starts. For higher volumes the personalisation is made in High-Secure process...

Plastic cards are well accepted in our average life. Formerly mainly used as credit cards for payments - nowadays plastic cards be used variously: client cards for customer loyalty programs, extraordinary advertising, datastorage, access control, ID system and much more. Magnetic stripes, Microchips or RFID cards offer individual solutions for every technical application. The averagely used standard card is a glossy laminated Plastic card. The specification is described in ISO 7810. It is made from 4-5 layers of PVC and completely recyclable. The format of a standard card in credit card format is 85,6 * 54,0 mm and has a thickness of 760 micron +/- 0,8 mm with rounded edges. We are printing plastic cards Offset or silkscreen in sheet-fed printing process. After printing the sheets are covered on both sides with a glossy or matt Overlay. Magnetic stripes or RFID chips are implemented with the lamination, conctact chips are applied afterwards. There are plenty of finishing...
