Personalized Identification with Magnetic Stripe Functionality
Create a card that supports both visual identification and electronic card reading. Print a cardholder photograph, name, department and company branding on the white PVC surface, then use compatible encoding equipment to write the data required by your magnetic stripe system.
This combination is useful for organizations that issue photo badges alongside swipe-based membership, attendance or access functions. Successful operation depends on matching the encoded data, reader and software requirements of the receiving system.
Understanding HiCo Magnetic Stripe Cards
HiCo stands for high coercivity, a characteristic of the magnetic stripe material. When preparing these cards, use an encoder that supports HiCo media and select the appropriate encoding settings for your application.
Printing and encoding are separate functions. A printer may be able to print the card surface without having the equipment needed to encode the stripe. To complete both tasks in one workflow, your printer must include a compatible magnetic stripe encoder. A suitable standalone encoder can also be used.
Printer and System Compatibility
Before ordering, confirm that your ID card printer accepts CR80, 30mil PVC magnetic stripe cards. Check the printer's card-loading instructions for stripe orientation and use the recommended ribbon and print settings. Keep printed artwork clear of the magnetic stripe unless your equipment manufacturer specifically permits otherwise.
For encoding, verify HiCo support, required track data and the format expected by your card system. Encode and test a sample card with the actual reader before producing the full batch. For retransfer printing or lamination, review the equipment manufacturer's card-material requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does every ID card printer encode magnetic stripes?
No. Magnetic stripe encoding requires a compatible encoder, either installed in the printer or provided as a separate device. Printing a card design does not encode the stripe.
Will these cards work with my swipe-card system?
Confirm that your system accepts HiCo magnetic stripe cards and that your encoder can write the required data format. Test an encoded sample with your reader and software before full production.
Are magnetic stripe cards the same as proximity cards?
No. A magnetic stripe is read by compatible magnetic stripe equipment. Contactless proximity and smart card readers require credentials containing the appropriate electronic technology.
How should unused cards be stored?
Keep unused cards in clean, dry packaging away from heat and direct sunlight. Handle cards by the edges to help protect the printable surfaces, and protect magnetic stripes from scratches and strong magnetic fields.
