Magnetic strips on plastic cards
Here is my second blog on the subject of magnetic strips and specifically the advantages of using them:
Magnetic strips are a well established and well used method of member identification hence there is a lot of information and support available
Due to the availability of products the cost of magnetic strip equipment is relatively cost effective
The data encoded onto the magnetic strip can be rewritten or modified (subject to you having the required equipment to do this)
Magnetic strips are not easily damaged with water or dirt.
The magnetic strips we produce are part of the plastic card and hence do not come off or away from the cards.
There are probably many more advantages but I just wanted to point out some of the mains ones. Hopefully this will be useful if you are considering the implementation of magnetic strips for a loyalty card or membership card. We can obviously incorporate magnetic strips on to any type of card for example some customer like to make their business cards look like credit cards.
