Product Features
Technical Overview
This PVC card incorporates a high-coercivity magnetic stripe, which offers enhanced resistance to accidental erasure from magnetic fields compared to low-coercivity stripes. The stripe is suitable for storing encoded data such as access codes, identification numbers, or transaction information, supporting both track 1 and track 2 formats as per ISO standards.
The card's PVC construction provides durability and flexibility, resisting cracking and wear from frequent handling. The white surface offers excellent contrast for printed graphics, text, and photographs, ensuring clear visual identification. The dimensions adhere to the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 standard, guaranteeing compatibility with global card processing equipment.

FAQ
What is the difference between high-coercivity and low-coercivity magnetic stripes?
High-coercivity magnetic stripes, like the one on this Datacard 718359, require a stronger magnetic field to encode or erase data, making them more resistant to accidental demagnetization from everyday magnetic sources such as phones, speakers, or other cards. Low-coercivity stripes are easier to erase and are typically used in less secure applications. High-coercivity stripes are preferred for access control and identification cards where data integrity is critical.
Which Datacard printers are compatible with this card?
This card is compatible with Datacard card printers including the SP35 Plus, SP25, SP25 Plus, CP60, and FP65i models. These printers are designed to handle PVC cards with magnetic stripes, ensuring proper encoding and high-quality printing. Using compatible printers avoids issues with stripe alignment, print adhesion, and data encoding reliability.
What are the dimensions of this ID card?
The card measures 3.37 inches in width (85.60 mm) and 2.13 inches in length (54.10 mm), which is the standard ID-1 size per ISO/IEC 7810. This size is widely accepted for most card readers, wallets, and badge holders, ensuring compatibility across various access control and identification systems.
Can this card be used for access control systems?
Yes, this card is well-suited for access control systems due to its high-coercivity magnetic stripe, which reliably stores encoded access codes or identification data. The PVC material is durable enough for frequent swiping in readers, and the standard ID-1 size ensures compatibility with most magnetic stripe readers used in building security, time clocks, and restricted area access.
What is the card material, and how does it affect durability?
The card is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic, which offers a balance of flexibility and strength. PVC resists cracking, bending, and wear from daily handling, making it ideal for long-term use in ID badges or membership cards. The white surface provides a clean background for printing, and the material accepts dye-sublimation or resin inks for lasting graphics.
How many cards come in a pack, and is this suitable for large organizations?
This product is sold in a 500-card box, making it suitable for large organizations with high-volume card issuance needs, such as corporations, universities, or government agencies. The bulk packaging reduces per-card cost and simplifies inventory management, supporting efficient rollout for employee onboarding, membership drives, or system upgrades.
