What Are Magnetic Stripe Cards?
Magnetic stripe cards are plastic cards with a dark brown or black magnetic band running across the back. This stripe holds encoded data that card readers can quickly scan and process. They are the same technology used in hotel key cards, loyalty programs, and library systems across the world.
These cards are remarkably reliable and cost-effective. The magnetic stripe can store three tracks of information, allowing businesses to encode customer IDs, account numbers, access levels, and more. They connect smoothly with point-of-sale systems, access control panels, and loyalty platforms.
We offer magnetic stripe cards in all standard formats and custom configurations. Whether you need Hi-Co (high-coercivity) stripes for long-lasting durability or Lo-Co (low-coercivity) stripes for simpler short-term uses, we have the right product ready to ship to you.
Who Uses Magnetic Stripe Cards?
The short answer is: almost everyone. Retailers use them for gift cards and loyalty programs. Hotels encode them as room keys. Gyms and clubs use them for membership access. Schools and universities issue them as student ID cards. The versatility of magnetic stripe technology makes it one of the most widely adopted card formats in modern business.
We work with businesses in every industry and every state. Our clients range from single-location shops to multi-site franchises and national organizations. No matter the size or scope of your operation, we can create a card solution that fits your workflow and impresses your customers.
If your business involves tracking customers, controlling access, rewarding loyalty, or establishing identity - magnetic stripe cards are likely the right tool for the job. And we are the right team to make them for you.

The Real Value of Physical Cards in a Digital World
It might seem like everything is going digital these days - apps, emails, text messages. But here is a surprising truth: physical cards consistently outperform digital-only alternatives in customer retention and brand recall. There is something about holding a card in your hand that creates a connection that a notification on a phone simply cannot replicate.
Research shows that businesses switching from paper gift certificates to plastic gift cards often see sales increases of up to 100%. That is not a small improvement - that is a transformation. The professionalism and permanence of plastic signals to customers that your brand is serious, trustworthy, and worth returning to.
Loyalty cards, specifically those with magnetic stripes, make it easy for customers to carry your brand in their wallet. Every time they open their wallet, they see your card. Every time they swipe it, they engage with your business. That kind of repeated, tactile engagement is marketing gold.
We believe in the enduring power of the physical card. That belief is backed by decades of experience, millions of cards shipped, and thousands of satisfied business owners who have seen the difference firsthand.
Gift Cards That Drive Real Revenue
Gift cards with magnetic stripes are one of the most powerful tools a retailer can have. Studies consistently show that gift card programs boost sales by 35-50% on average. Customers who redeem gift cards often spend more than the card's value, bringing in additional revenue you would not have earned otherwise.
We produce custom-printed gift cards that look stunning and function flawlessly. Your logo, brand colors, and custom design are printed directly onto durable plastic that holds up beautifully over time. The magnetic stripe on the back allows your point-of-sale system to track balances and transactions with ease.
Gift cards also make excellent items for promotions, fundraisers, employee rewards, and seasonal campaigns. They are versatile, affordable, and incredibly effective at bringing new customers through your door and keeping loyal ones coming back again and again.
Loyalty Cards That Build Lasting Relationships
A well-designed loyalty card program can completely transform how customers feel about your business. When people know they are earning rewards every time they visit or spend, they are far more likely to choose you over a competitor. The magnetic stripe makes tracking their points or visits simple and automatic.
We help you design loyalty cards that match your brand perfectly. From elegant minimalist designs to bold, colorful graphics, our printing quality is exceptional. The magnetic stripe encodes your loyalty program data so everything integrates smoothly with your existing system.
Loyal customers are your most valuable asset. They spend more, refer others, and stick with you through competition. A magnetic stripe loyalty card is a daily reminder of your relationship with them - and a strong reason to keep coming back to your store, your gym, your restaurant, or your service.
Membership Cards That Make People Feel Valued
Membership cards with magnetic stripes are widely used by gyms, clubs, libraries, associations, and professional organizations. They provide easy access verification, clean record-keeping, and a tangible symbol of belonging that members genuinely appreciate and proudly carry.
We print membership cards in any quantity - from small runs of a few hundred to large orders in the tens of thousands. Each card is produced with crisp graphics, accurate encoding, and durable materials designed to withstand years of regular use without fading or demagnetizing.
When your members carry your card, they carry your brand. That quiet, consistent presence builds loyalty and organizational pride that goes far beyond the functional purpose of the card itself.

Card Printers for In-House Printing
Sometimes businesses need the ability to print cards on-site - for instant issuance, data personalization, or simply for the convenience of producing cards as needed. We supply professional-grade card printers that are easy to use, dependable, and designed for business environments.
Our printers range from compact single-sided desktop models perfect for small businesses to high-volume dual-sided printers built for organizations that need to produce hundreds or thousands of cards efficiently. We carry leading brands and can help you choose the right printer for your volume and budget.
In-house printing gives you control over your card program. You can update designs, personalize each card with an individual name or number, and respond quickly to demand without waiting for outside printing turnaround times. It is a smart investment that pays off quickly for the right business.
Ribbons, Supplies, and Refill Accessories
A card printer is only as good as the supplies that feed it. We stock a comprehensive selection of printer ribbons, cleaning kits, laminate overlays, and blank card stock to keep your printer running at peak performance day after day, month after month.
- Full-color YMCKO ribbons for vibrant card printing

Magnetic Stripe Card Specifications and Options

| Stripe Type | Coercivity Level | Common Uses | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hi-Co Magnetic Stripe | 2750 Oe | Gift cards, ID cards, loyalty programs | High - long-term use |
| Lo-Co Magnetic Stripe | 300 Oe | Hotel keys, short-term event access | Moderate - short to mid-term |
| Three-Track Encoding | Hi-Co or Lo-Co | Full data storage across ISO tracks | Varies by coercivity |
Understanding the technical side of magnetic stripe cards helps you make the right choice for your application. We are happy to explain the differences and guide you toward the best option for your specific needs. Our team speaks your language - no confusing jargon, just clear and helpful advice.
Both Hi-Co and Lo-Co cards are available in our standard CR80 size - the same size as a standard credit card - as well as other custom dimensions if your application calls for it. All cards are printed on durable PVC material that holds up to regular handling and everyday use.
Hi-Co vs. Lo-Co: Which Do You Need?
High-coercivity magnetic stripe cards are the better choice for most business applications that require long-lasting reliability. Because they require a stronger magnetic field to encode and read, they are far more resistant to accidental demagnetization from everyday exposure to magnets, phones, and other electronic devices.
Low-coercivity cards are a cost-effective option for temporary or short-term use cases. Hotel key cards are a classic example - they are encoded at check-in and used for a few days, so permanent durability is less important than quick encoding and affordability at high volume.
If you are unsure which coercivity level is right for your application, our team can walk you through the decision. We have helped thousands of businesses choose the right card specs, and we are confident we can find the perfect match for your needs too.
Encoding Options and Track Information
Magnetic stripe cards follow ISO standards that define three data tracks on the stripe. Track 1 stores alphanumeric data including names and account information. Track 2 is the most commonly used track for financial and loyalty systems, storing numeric data. Track 3 is less common but available for specialized applications requiring additional data storage.
We can encode your cards during production to whatever specifications your system requires. This means your cards arrive ready to use - no additional encoding step needed on your end. We work with your software or system requirements to ensure seamless integration right from the start.
Custom encoding opens up a world of possibilities. You can encode customer account numbers, employee IDs, access levels, loyalty point balances, and much more. The flexibility of magnetic stripe technology combined with our encoding expertise makes for a card that is genuinely smart as well as visually impressive.
Custom Card Design and Printing Quality
A magnetic stripe card does not have to look technical or plain. In fact, the best cards combine beautiful design on the front with powerful functionality on the back. We use advanced printing technology to reproduce your logo, brand colors, photos, and artwork with stunning clarity and accuracy on every single card we produce.
Our full-color printing process delivers sharp, vibrant results that make your brand stand out. We support custom designs from scratch or can work from artwork you supply. Our design team is available to help refine your concept and ensure the final product meets your expectations and your brand standards.
Every card we print goes through quality checks before shipping. We are proud of our consistency - when you order 500 cards or 50,000 cards, each one should look as crisp and professional as the first. That kind of reliability is what has kept over 100,000 businesses coming back to us year after year.
Frequently Asked Questions About Magnetic Stripe Cards
We hear a lot of great questions from business owners who are exploring magnetic stripe cards for the first time - or upgrading their existing card programs. We have gathered some of the most common questions here to help you get the information you need quickly and clearly.
Of course, nothing replaces a real conversation. If your question is not answered here, please call us directly at 800-835-7919. Our team is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely happy to help you navigate every detail of your card project.
How Many Cards Should I Order?
This is one of the most common questions we receive. The right quantity depends on the size of your customer base, how quickly you plan to grow, and how often you update your card design. In general, ordering in larger quantities reduces your per-card cost significantly, making it more economical in the long run.
For most small businesses, starting with 250-500 cards is a practical choice. Mid-sized businesses often find that 1,000-5,000 cards make sense for their initial order. Larger organizations and franchises frequently order 10,000 cards or more at a time to benefit from volume pricing and minimize reorder frequency.
We are happy to help you estimate the right quantity for your situation. There is no pressure and no one-size-fits-all answer - just an honest conversation about what will work best for your business goals and your budget.
Can I Reorder Cards Easily?
Absolutely. Reordering is simple and straightforward. We keep your design on file so that when you are ready to reorder, we can move quickly without requiring you to resubmit all your artwork and specifications from scratch. Just let us know what you need, confirm any changes, and we will get your order moving right away.
Many of our clients have been reordering with us for years - some for over a decade. The continuity and consistency we provide make reordering a smooth, low-effort process that fits easily into your regular business operations without disruption or frustration.
Whether you need a small top-up order or a large restocking run, we treat every reorder with the same care and attention as your first. Your satisfaction does not diminish over time - it grows with every positive experience you have ordering from us.
Do You Offer Cards for Specific Industries?
Yes, we specialize in cards for a wide variety of industries. Our experience spans retail, hospitality, healthcare administration, education, fitness and wellness, entertainment, professional associations, and more. Each industry has unique card needs, and our team understands those nuances well.
For example, a fitness club needs a card that is durable enough to handle daily swipe-in use, while a hotel needs a card that can be quickly encoded and re-encoded at the front desk. A retail gift card program needs beautiful design and reliable balance tracking. We tailor our recommendations to your specific industry and use case.
No matter what industry you are in, we have almost certainly worked with a business just like yours before. That experience translates directly into better advice, faster turnaround, and a final product that genuinely meets your needs from day one.
Case Studies: Real Businesses, Real Results
The best way to understand what magnetic stripe cards can do for your business is to see what they have done for others. Over the years, we have helped thousands of businesses implement card programs that delivered measurable, meaningful results. Here are a few examples that show what is possible.
These stories come from real industries and real challenges. While the specific names are generalized, the outcomes are genuine. We share them because we believe transparency and proof matter when you are making a decision about investing in your business.
Retail Boutique: From Paper to Plastic Gift Cards
A regional clothing boutique came to us after years of using paper gift certificates. They were losing track of balances, dealing with fraud issues, and struggling to create a consistent gift-giving experience for their customers. We helped them transition to custom-printed magnetic stripe gift cards integrated with their POS system.
Within three months of launching their new plastic gift card program, the boutique reported a significant increase in gift card sales. The professional appearance of the cards made them a much more attractive gift option, and the magnetic stripe encoding eliminated balance tracking headaches entirely. Their staff loved the simplicity and their customers loved the look.
By the end of their first year, the boutique had seen a near doubling of gift card revenue compared to their paper certificate days. They have been reordering with us every season since then, and they recently expanded into a loyalty card program using the same magnetic stripe technology.
Fitness Club: Loyalty That Keeps Members Coming Back
A local fitness club with three locations wanted to reward their most dedicated members and reduce cancellations during slow months. They launched a magnetic stripe loyalty card program that tracked visit frequency and awarded points redeemable for merchandise, class upgrades, and guest passes.
The results were impressive. Member engagement rose noticeably in the months following the launch. Members who previously cancelled their memberships during the summer began staying enrolled specifically to protect their loyalty points balance. The simple act of having a physical card in their wallet kept the gym top-of-mind even on days when members did not visit.
The club has since expanded the program to include referral bonuses tracked through the magnetic stripe system. New member sign-ups attributed to referrals increased substantially, demonstrating that a well-designed card program can drive growth far beyond simple retention.
Hotel Group: Seamless Key Card Management
A hotel group managing four properties was dealing with inconsistent key card systems across locations and high costs from their previous supplier. They needed a reliable, affordable solution that could work across all properties and be encoded quickly at check-in using their existing front-desk hardware.
We supplied Lo-Co magnetic stripe key cards in large quantities, optimized for their specific lock system specifications. The cards arrived encoded with their standard hotel configuration and ready for immediate deployment. The transition was smooth, and their front desk staff noticed the improvement in card reliability immediately.
Cost savings were significant. By consolidating their card supply through us, the hotel group reduced their per-card cost considerably compared to their previous supplier. They now reorder quarterly across all four locations through a single streamlined account, saving time and simplifying their procurement process.
Value-Added Services That Complete Your Card Program
A great card is just the beginning. The way you present, package, and distribute your cards can be just as important as the card itself. We offer a range of value-added services designed to make your card program complete, professional, and ready to impress from the moment a customer receives it.
We handle everything from custom card carriers and branded sleeves to full-service card affixing and direct mail fulfillment. These services save you time, reduce your overhead, and ensure that every card you send out represents your brand at its absolute best.
Custom Card Carriers and Packaging
When a customer receives your gift card or loyalty card, the packaging creates the first impression. A beautifully designed card carrier elevates the perceived value of the card and reinforces your brand message before the card is even removed. We produce custom card carriers in a variety of formats, sizes, and styles to match your brand identity perfectly.
Card sleeves are another popular option - clear or printed protective holders that keep the card safe while adding a polished, professional presentation layer. Whether your cards are being distributed at checkout, mailed to customers, or packaged as gifts, the right sleeve or carrier makes a clear statement about the quality of your brand.
We design and print all of our carriers and sleeves to match your card artwork, creating a cohesive, branded experience from packaging to card to use. It is a small detail that makes a surprisingly large impression on the people who receive them.
Card Affixing and Mailing Services
For businesses that want to distribute cards through direct mail, we offer complete card affixing and mailing services. We affix your printed cards to custom mailers or carriers, assemble the mailing pieces, and prepare them for postal delivery - taking the entire fulfillment burden off your plate so your team can focus on what they do best.
Our plastic postcard mailers with affixed cards are particularly effective for customer acquisition and reactivation campaigns. They achieve response rates approximately double those of standard paper mail, making them one of the most cost-effective direct marketing tools available for local and regional businesses.
This end-to-end service means you can launch a card distribution campaign with minimal internal effort. We handle design, printing, affixing, and mailing - you simply define your campaign goals and audience, and we execute the rest with speed and precision.
Specialty and Premium Card Options
For brands that want to make an especially powerful statement, we offer specialty card options that go well beyond standard plastic. Clear and frosted cards create an elegant, modern look that instantly sets your brand apart. Custom die-cut shapes let you create a card that is literally unlike anything else in your customer's wallet.
At the premium end of our lineup, we offer luxury metal cards crafted from stainless steel, brushed gold, and other premium materials. These cards are heavier, more substantial, and dramatically more impressive than standard plastic. They are ideal for VIP memberships, exclusive programs, and brands that want to project an elite image.
Whether you are looking for standard functionality with a distinctive look or a truly exceptional card experience, we have the materials, the expertise, and the creative team to bring your vision to life. Specialty cards create specialty impressions - and those impressions drive loyalty and referrals that standard cards simply cannot match.
Benefits of Choosing a National Shipping Card Partner
Working with a card supplier that ships nationally is a meaningful advantage - especially if your business has multiple locations, a remote team, or plans to grow and expand into new markets. A national shipping partner like us means you never have to worry about whether your supplier can reach you.

Consistency is another major benefit. When all your locations order from the same source, every card looks the same, performs the same, and represents your brand the same way. That uniformity builds trust with your customers and simplifies operations for your team significantly.

Pricing That Works for Your Budget
We believe quality plastic cards should be accessible to businesses of all sizes - not just large corporations with big marketing budgets. Our pricing structure is designed to be fair and transparent, with per-card costs that decrease as your order volume increases, making larger orders increasingly economical over time.
Typical orders range from $75-$200 for starter quantities of custom magnetic stripe cards, scaling upward based on quantity, customization level, and any additional services like encoding or packaging. We are always upfront about costs so you can make an informed decision without any surprise fees or hidden charges at checkout.
For businesses placing regular or large orders, we are happy to discuss pricing arrangements that reflect your ongoing commitment. Long-term clients are valued partners, and we do our best to reward that loyalty with pricing that makes ongoing card programs even more affordable and sustainable over time.
What to Expect When You Place Your First Order
Placing your first order with us is easy and stress-free. You call us or reach out online, share what you need, and we take it from there. We will ask a few questions about your card type, quantity, design preferences, and any encoding or packaging requirements so we can put together a complete proposal for you.
Once you approve the details and design, we move your order into production. Our team keeps you informed throughout the process, and we will let you know your expected ship date so you can plan accordingly. When your cards arrive, they will be exactly what you ordered - and we stand behind that promise completely.
If anything ever falls short of your expectations, we make it right. Our customer satisfaction commitment is not just a policy - it is a core value that has driven our growth and reputation for over 25 years. We are not satisfied until you are, and that mindset shows in everything we do.
Security Cards, Access Control, and Identity Solutions
Beyond marketing applications, magnetic stripe cards play a critical role in security and identity management. From employee badges to casino player cards to secured facility access, the magnetic stripe is a proven, trusted technology for controlling who goes where and tracking who does what within your organization.
We produce identity and access cards for businesses, institutions, and organizations across the country. Our printing quality, encoding accuracy, and material durability make us a trusted supplier for applications where reliability is not optional - it is essential.
Employee ID Badges and Access Cards
An employee ID badge serves multiple purposes at once. It identifies your staff to customers and visitors, it controls access to restricted areas through magnetic stripe readers, and it carries a sense of organizational pride and professionalism that benefits company culture. We produce employee ID cards that do all of these things beautifully and reliably.
We can encode your employee access levels directly into the magnetic stripe during production, or we can supply blank magnetic stripe cards ready for your in-house printer and encoding system. Either way, we make sure your ID card program is set up for success from the very beginning.
Our ID cards are printed on durable PVC stock with crisp, professional graphics that hold up to daily use. Add a signature panel, barcode, or sequential numbering for extra functionality. We also supply card holders, lanyards, badge reels, and other accessories to complete your ID badge program from top to bottom.
Casino Player Cards and Club Access
Casino player cards are a specialized and high-volume application for magnetic stripe technology. They track play activity, reward points, and player tier status across gaming floors and resort amenities. We produce casino player cards with precise encoding specifications and vibrant, high-quality printing that reflects the premium experience casinos work hard to deliver.
Club and venue access cards follow similar principles - they identify members, grant access to facilities, and track usage data that helps operators understand and serve their members better. Whether your venue is a private social club, a sports facility, or an entertainment complex, we can create a card solution that fits your system and your brand.
High-volume casino and club card orders are handled with the same careful attention to quality and accuracy as any other order. We understand that in these environments, a card that fails to swipe correctly is more than an inconvenience - it can disrupt a guest experience and reflect poorly on your brand. We do not let that happen.
University, Alumni, and Association Cards
Universities and professional associations rely on magnetic stripe cards for student IDs, alumni credentials, and member identification. These cards often need to work across multiple systems - library access, campus facilities, dining plans, and event admission - making accurate encoding and durable construction essential.
We work with educational institutions and associations to create ID cards that look professional, encode correctly for their specific system requirements, and hold up to years of frequent use. Alumni cards in particular benefit from a premium look and feel that reflects the prestige of the institution they represent.
Association membership cards serve as a badge of professional identity. Whether your members are doctors, lawyers, tradespeople, or educators, a well-crafted membership card carries weight and meaning that a digital credential simply cannot replicate. We are proud to help organizations present themselves and their members with the dignity and professionalism they deserve.
Why Experience Matters When Choosing a Card Supplier
With so many printing companies out there, choosing the right partner for your plastic card needs is a real decision. Experience matters enormously in this space. The nuances of magnetic stripe encoding, card durability, printing accuracy, and system compatibility are things that take years to master - and mistakes in these areas can cost your business time and money.
We have been doing this for over 25 years. We have seen every type of card project, solved every type of problem, and helped every type of business find the right solution. That depth of knowledge shows up in every conversation you have with our team and in every card we ship to your door.

More than 100,000 businesses have trusted us with their card programs. More than 50 million cards have shipped out of our facility and into wallets, readers, and card programs across the country.

Our client retention rate is something we are genuinely proud of. When businesses start working with us, they tend to stay.
