Description
Metal Core refers to a variety of card types which Databac can manufacture with a metal foil core. Metal Core cards are aimed for use at food manufacturing plants and other areas where the card needs to be detected by a metal detector.
Applications
Metal Core cards are ideal for access or time recording cards worn by staff who work in food preparation areas or factories. The metal detection process at factories will pick up even a small piece of the foil if lost in the system. The cards are also useful at high-security zones where the wearer's ID must be detected on leaving the area.
We are happy to provide samples for testing and consider specific requirements based on the detection equipment employed.
Metal Core cards
Databac's PolyFlex pouches and cards, PVC cards, DuraCard and TOUGH card products can incorporate our metal foil core.
Metal Core cards can incorporate a range of reading technologies so that they can be used with the majority of time and attendance, access control, and shop floor data collection systems available today. These include barcode, IR barcode, magnetic stripe and contact chip. RFID cards are in development.
