Avoiding Unnecessary Wear and Tear

Plastic cards, like any product, can show wear and tear over time, but there are easy ways to minimize this:

- Handle with care, avoiding bending or twisting the cards.

- Do not stack heavy objects on top of card piles, as this can cause cracking or bending.

- Rotate your card inventory if you have multiple cards, to prevent the same card from being overused.

Maintaining Card Functionality and Appearance

Cards need to be not just clean, but functional. A well-maintained card should work as effectively as the day it was issued. Our cards at Plastic Card ID are designed to stand the test of time, but a little TLC on your part can make all the difference.

Handling Magnetic Strips and Chips with Care

The magnetic strips and chips on your plastic cards are the heart of their functionality. Damage to these elements could render a card unusable:

- Keep the magnetic strip intact by avoiding scratches or exposure to other magnetic fields.

- Similarly, protect chips by not bending the card or scraping the chip area.

Keeping Your Cards Looking New

Presentation matters, especially when your card is part of your brand's image:

- Use a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges from the card surface.

- Store cards in a manner that prevents them from rubbing against each other, which can lead to scuffs and scratches.

Preventative Measures Against Loss and Theft

Lost or stolen cards are not just inconvenient; they can also be a security risk:

- Encourage cardholders to store cards securely when they're not in use.

- Keep an inventory of all issued cards to help track and deactivate lost or stolen ones promptly.

Embracing Sustainability in Card Use and Disposal

While PCID doesn't focus on eco-friendly options, we do understand the importance of responsible disposal. When it comes time to retire your old plastic cards, here's what you can do:

Consider recycling your plastic cards if possible. Search for local recycling programs that accept PVC plastics, and always strip any personal information from the card before disposal. Recycling helps reduce waste and can be a part of your organization's commitment to sustainable practices.
