Student ID Cards

"Want to protect your cards from tampering, counterfeiting or physical abuse?"

Security is increasingly important for schools, colleges and universities. Whether it's registering students, knowing that only your authorised staff have access to your facilities, or ensuring that parents have confidence in the safety of their children; ID cards have an important part to play.

But do your student ID cards offer you the level of security you need?

Only Magicard ID card printers provide visual card security at no additional printing cost, through our patented Holokote anti card copying watermark. Holokote is an anti-counterfeiting watermark across the entire card surface, that becomes visible when the card is viewed at an angle. Standard dye-film is used to print Holokote images on standard cards. For additional security, Holopatch works with Holokote to produce a highly-visible gold seal on the card, printed using special card stock.

Applications for identification cards in Schools and Colleges include :

  • Student/Staff Identity (photo ID cards)
  • Visitor ID cards.
  • Library access and lending cards.
  • Clubs and Societies.
  • Cashless purchases for meals and vending machines.
  • Subsidised meal programs.

The use of cards in education ranges from traditional Photo ID badges, through access control cards that include magnetic stripes, smart chips or proximity / contactless technology, through to complex multi-application cards that also handle cashless payment and loyalty schemes. Magicard ID card printers are able to print all the card features you need for all these cards (photos, barcodes, and security features) and can also write data to the magnetic stripes and chips embedded in the cards at the same time as printing the card.

Why you should choose Magicard :

  • Our unique patented Holokote puts visual security on your cards at no extra cost.
  • Great value printers range from the Magicard Opera and Tempo for low-volume applications, through to the Magicard Rio 2e & Tango 2e for volume printing.
  • You can print all the features you need at the same time as writing to magnetic stripes and embedded chips.
