Pre Printed Rewrite Cards with magnetic stripe

Pre Printed Rewrite Cards with Magnetic Stripe

Suitable for: visitor cards, membership cards, ski passes, cruise passes

Minimum order: 100 cards

These rewrite cards are pre-printed one one or both sides with your choice of design and text and have a magnetic stripe on the rear of the card for encoding with your own data.

If you have a rewrite printer, you’ll need the special thermo-sensitive rewrite cards to use in it. We can pre print these cards for you, in monochrome or full colour on one or both sides of the card, leaving you to take care of just the rewrite element at the point of card issuance. This can save a considerable amount of time and also money in printer ribbons.

• High quality cards ensure your cards have a superior print finish and are extremely durable
• We offer a range of print processes to suit your budget and time scales
• Our express service means your cards can be with you in as little as 2-3 working days
• Benefit from bulk discounts
• Upgrade to smart cards for compatibility with your access control, time and attendance, cashless catering and other systems
• Choose from a range of optional security features including barcodes, sequential numbering, holograms and UV overlays
• We can hold your design on file for quick and easy issuance of extras or replacements in the future

About Rewrite Cards

We can design and pre-print the parts of the card that you require in full colour, permanent print, leaving you to just add the personalisation using rewrite as and when the cards are needed.

This could include company logo, address and contact details or any other information that you want to be easily accessible to the card holders for example emergency evacuation procedures.

It’s also worth noting that many of the rewrite printers have dual printing functionality so they will take a normal ID card printer ribbon enabling you to do both permanent and temporary print on the same card, using the same printer.

All rewrite cards come in a choice of blue or black ‘print’ so please specify your preference when placing your order. Please also note that on all of our standard cards the thermosensitive layer is only on one side, however if you need it on both sides please contact us for a quote as it will be a special order item.

Each rewrite card can be used up to 500 times so they are a great investment and work out at just £0.0024 per use! By reusing the cards you’re also preventing unnecessary waste and stopping old cards and badges from ending up in the bin.

What is rewrite?

Rewrite technology allows you to ‘print’ on to a plastic card using heat alone. The cards have a special thermo-sensitive layer that changes colour, to either black or blue depending on which card you choose, when extreme heat is applied by the printer.

The ‘printed’ image can just as easily be removed again by running the card back through the printer to leave you with a plain white card ready to be used again.

A specialist rewrite printer is needed for this and we have a full range, starting from under £450.

At ID Card Centre we are experts in ID Cards so rest assured that we will quote you for the best products to suit your requirements and budget, now and in the future.
