Card Access Systems

Access control to buildings, secure rooms, car parking and computer systems is often the key driver for introducing a card system. Access control systems allow different levels of access reducing the need for security guards and can monitor when people have entered and left facilities. Magicard printers support access control via encoding of the card's magnetic stripe or smart chip. Magicard printers fitted with the correct encoder will write user data to the card at the time of printing.

Lamination

Standard or Custom holographic laminates are available for the Prima 4, for visual security combined with card protection. Standard holographic laminates provide attractive security features without the setup cost. For highest security, special order laminates can include features such as holograms, micro text, and color changing images.

Custom HoloKote FLEX

Custom HoloKote Flex is a full size, secure Custom HoloKote watermark. Custom HoloKote Flex imprints a logo watermark of any size and location on the card. Compared to custom holographic laminates, it's a mere fraction of the cost, and available in days, not months. For a modest set-up fee and no extra ongoing printing cost, you can print as many cards as you like with your Custom HoloKote Flex design.
