Magnetic strips
Hello everyone. Here is my final blog (part three) surrounding magnetic strips and the disadvantages of them, specifically considering the use of them with membership cards and loyalty cards:
The magnetic strips must be in close proximity to the reader to allow it to be read.
If the magnetic strip is placed near to a magnetic field the encoded data can be damaged.
Some people may consider that as the magnetic strips does not have a human readable element that this may be a disadvantage (please note however with our cards, if we are encoding them for you we can print information on the other side of the cards for you, for example if you want a membership number encoded we can then include a member name on the other side, this can be embossed for a professional image is achieved – just pop the require information in an excel file and we will work directly form this)
At the moment this is al I can come up with any more disadvantages! I am sure there are some more, so as always if you have any let me know and I will update the list!
