Membership card manufacturer

What members carry

A card for the wallet, a tag for the keyring, a band for the pool. One number links all three, so every reader sees one member.

Personalised member cards

Each card carries its holder's photo, name and member number, printed in a single pass, plus a barcode, QR code, magnetic stripe or chip. No later step.

Wristbands for pools and spas

Silicone or elastic bands for swimming pools, spas and changing rooms, on the same chip as the card. Nothing to unclip, and the member number is laser engraved.

Matching key tags

A small tag for members who prefer the keyring to the wallet. It carries the card's chip, number and design, so the scanner treats both alike.

In daily use

Four ways to read a member

Barcode, QR, magnetic stripe or chip. The choice follows the scanner already at the entrance.

Barcode

The simplest option for retail and loyalty programmes. A unique code printed on every card from the member data file, readable by standard barcode scanners.

QR code

Works with phone cameras and app check-in at museums and coworking spaces. Each code can carry a member number or a link, printed sharp enough to scan at a glance.

Magnetic stripe

For desks and tills that still swipe. The stripe is encoded with the member number, so older equipment keeps working while the rest of the scheme moves on.

Chip

13.56 MHz MIFARE for gates and lockers, NTAG for tap to app on a phone. Every chip is read-tested individually before shipping, 100%.

Renewals and reorders

Membership runs on renewals, so the second batch matters as much as the first.

Approved sample on file

The signed off sample becomes the reference for every repeat run, colour and finish included.

Tiers in a single order

Standard, premium, family or corporate. One design, colour coded per tier, made in one batch.

Ready in 13 calendar days

From approval to the box in 13 calendar days, or 8 on express when a renewal date is close.

Every format, one delivery

Member cards, key tags and wristbands quoted, encoded and boxed together, so the front desk receives one shipment.

Membership card questions

Can each card carry a photo and member number?

Yes. Photos, names and numbers arrive in one data file and are printed in a single pass, so the cards leave the plant ready to hand to members, with nothing left to add.

Which data carrier should a programme choose?

It depends on the scanner in use. Barcode and QR suit tills and phone cameras, a stripe suits swipe readers, a chip suits gates and tap to app. Send the reader model for a written check.

Which chips are available for member cards?

At 13.56 MHz, MIFARE Classic EV1, MIFARE DESFire EV2 and EV3, and NTAG213, NTAG215 or NTAG216 for tap to app on a phone. EM4200 and T5577 at 125 kHz suit older gates.

Can key tags and wristbands match the card?

Yes. Same chip, same member number and same design, quoted and encoded together, so every reader in the building sees one person.

Do wristbands cope with daily swimming?

Silicone and elastic bands are chosen for daily contact with water, chlorine and sweat. The member number is laser engraved rather than printed, with the band material and finish picked for daily use. Ask for a sample band to wear and test first.

Will reorders match the first batch?

Yes. Every renewal and reorder is matched to the approved sample, so colours, finish and encoding stay consistent from one year to the next.

What are the lead time and minimum order?

Standard production is 13 calendar days, express is 8 calendar days and wooden cards take 12 calendar days. Minimum order is 500 units. Allow time to approve the proof before production starts.

Is there a sample before ordering?

Yes. A free sample goes out before any order, encoded with the chosen chip, so it can be tested on the live gates, tills and app first.
