A lot of businesses are concerned about security. That’s why proximity cards are becoming more popular these days. But did you know that there are different types of access cards from which to choose? Below are the various types of these cards and how they work.
Standard
These types of prox cards are made of white PVC. Their size is the same as CR80 cards. The most common type of material for cards is PVC.
Composite
These cards are made from a mix of polyester and PVC. This means that they can withstand being laminated better. They’re also easier to reverse the transfer printing on when compared with the PVC cards.
Clamshell
These prox cards are thicker than the other cards. Because they are thicker, it’s not possible to print on them with ID card printers.
Magnetic Strip
These kinds of cards let you encode some more data on the card with the HiCO strip. This means that they have more information on them than just the access control.
Proximity Printing Cards
There are different types of cards. Not all of them are able to be printed using ID card printers. These types of cards are made of special materials which will work with a card printer.
Key Fob Proximity Cards
These types of cards are made to fit onto a keyring. This means that you don’t’ have to leave your house without having your card again.
Adhesive Tags
These are little enough that they can be stuck onto ID cards of employees, their phones, or their wallet. They convert an ordinary object into a card.
These are the different kinds of access cards that you can choose from. When you are looking for these kinds of cards, think about what is best for you and your business. Then you can choose one that fits your needs the best.
