Frequently Asked Questions
What is a magnetic stripe card?
A magnetic stripe card (magstripe card) is a PVC card with a magnetic stripe to store data. Users swipe the card through a reader to read stored information for access, payment or membership verification.
What is the difference between HiCo and LoCo magnetic stripe?
HiCo (2750 Oe) is high-coercivity, more resistant to demagnetization for long-term daily use. LoCo (300 Oe) is low-coercivity, commonly used for one-time or short-period applications.
Can I print custom designs on magnetic stripe cards?
Yes. Full CMYK colour printing on both sides is supported. You can add logos, branding, barcodes and variable serial numbers.
Are magnetic stripe cards compatible with my existing card reader?
Most standard magstripe readers support both HiCo and LoCo stripes. Confirm your reader requirement before ordering.
Will the magnetic stripe get erased easily?
HiCo stripes are much less likely to be demagnetized. Keep cards away from strong magnets to avoid data loss.
Can I get samples before bulk order?
Yes, we can provide samples for you to test swipe compatibility and check printing quality before mass production.
