Membership cards, wristbands for wet areas and key tags on one chip, encoded at the plant so the turnstile, locker and desk read the same member.
Ask for a quote →Three formats, one chip and one member number.
Name, member number and category printed per card in the same pass as the artwork. The card a person shows at the desk is the same one the turnstile reads.
Silicone or elastic, which are the two that go into water every day and come back out, and neither has a closure to break. Numbers laser engraved rather than printed.
For the members who will not carry a card. Cut from the same sheet, on the same chip and the same number, so the reader does not know the difference.
The same order, photographed where it ends up.
A member card at the turnstile, with the name and number facing out.
A silicone band at the pool, with the number laser engraved.
A key tag on a keyring, on the same chip as the card.
The card at the locker, read by the same system as the door.
Four readers on an ordinary visit, all reading the same thing.
The one that decides whether anyone has to be at the desk. The reader model is what we confirm the frequency and chip family against, before anything is produced.
Often a different system from the door, and often installed years apart. Where a single chip covers both we will say so, and where it does not we will say that instead.
A card in a pocket is not going to the pool. This is where the wristband exists, on the same chip and the same number, so it is the same member to the reader.
The only reader that is a person. That is why the name, the number and the category are printed on the card and not held only in the chip.
Four steps, the same for every order.
Quantity, format and the turnstile or locker reader model. Artwork can come later.
The chip confirmed against your system and a price against that specification.

Standard production is 12 calendar days. The specification stays on file, so a reorder matches the first run.
CR80 in PVC or recycled PVC, at 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz or UHF, with the name and the member number printed on every card.
RFID and NFC cards →
Silicone, fabric, nylon, elastic, vinyl and Tyvek. Which one it has to be is decided by how long the band stays on a wrist, not by the chip.
Wristbands →
Moulded ABS across twelve shapes, at 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz. The material that survives a keyring, which here is the whole job.
Key fobs →Yes, in the same pass as the artwork rather than as a later step. The names come in with the member numbers, and the cards come back finished, not ready to personalise.
From the reader model, or from the card the club issues today, we confirm the frequency and chip family in writing before production. If we cannot be certain from the model, we say so.
It is common, because doors and lockers are usually installed years apart. Both models are needed. Where one chip covers both we say so, and where it does not we say that instead of guessing.
Yes, on the same chip and the same number, so the reader treats them as the same member. The card covers the door and the desk, the wristband covers the pool and the lockers. Quoted, encoded and delivered on one order.
Yes. The number is laser engraved rather than printed, so it is still readable a year later. Silicone and elastic both go into the water every day and come back out, and the silicone strap adjusts with a peg clasp to fit any wrist.
Yes. Full member, family, junior and staff on the same artwork with a different colour or marking, produced on one run rather than as four orders.
Standard production is 12 calendar days for PVC and wooden cards. Plan backwards from the day the season opens and leave room to approve the artwork.
Yes. Ask for a free sample and try it on the real turnstile and the real lockers before the whole club is issued with it.
The four variables that decide whether the turnstile, the locker and the desk all read the same card.
