Table of Contents [Hide]

Imagine you've just received your fresh batch of plastic cards, they're glossy, sturdy, and ready for action. But wait! To ensure they stay in tip-top condition, you have to give them the VIP treatment they deserve. That's where we come in with our best practices for storage that'll keep those cards looking sleek and working supremely - because there's no room for worn-out, lackluster plastic in your deck. At Plastic Card ID , we understand that every time a card is swiped or presented, it reflects your brand's commitment to excellence.

Now, let's dive into those guidelines. The first rule of plastic card club? Keep them away from extreme temperatures. They're like a vampire to sunlight they just can't handle the heat... or the cold. Make sure your cards are stored in a climate-controlled environment. Trust us, this crucial step helps prevent them from warping or becoming brittle. Your cards will thank you for it, and so will your clients when they see how well you're taking care of business.

Here's a thing or two about stacking your cards: Don't pile them up like it's a game of Jenga. Careless stacking can lead to scratches and chips, which are not a good look. Always keep them in neat stacks and ensure that they have a flat, clean surface to rest on. It's simple but makes a world of difference.

And when it comes to handling, think of your plastic cards as if they're delicate treasures. Oils and dirt from your hands can stain or damage the card's surface. So why not treat them like royalty and always handle them with clean, dry hands or, even better, with gloves?

Organization isn't only for your sock drawer; your plastic cards yearn for that kind of attentiveness, too. Keep them categorized by type or purpose and store them in a designated area. This will save you time and prevent any mix-ups when you're in a hurry.

Nobody likes a messy treasure chest, right? With your cards sorted, you'll be the captain of a well-organized ship, ready to sail smoothly through your transactions without any unnecessary delays.

Magnets: they're cool in science class, but they're bad news for cards with magnetic stripes. Keep your cards far away from magnets to avoid demagnetizing them. Think of it as setting boundaries; your cards need their personal space just like we all do.

By respecting this space, you're protecting the integrity of the data stored on each card, and that's a big win for you and your brand's reliability.

Lights may bring brightness into our lives, but for your plastic cards, it's a different story. Prolonged exposure to light can fade your cards faster than a summer tan. Store your cards in a dark place, where they're shielded from both natural and artificial light sources.

Keeping your cards in the dark will preserve their colors and designs, ensuring that every time you whip one out, it's as vivid and impressive as the day you received it.

Finally, while conservation is our main focus, let's not forget about recycling. If a card has reached the end of its journey, consider recycling it properly. It's a small step for you, but a giant leap for maintaining environmental friendliness.

Remember, recycling might not be the star of the show in our guidelines, but it surely deserves a spot in the credits. Give us a call at [800.835.7919 ] and we can guide you through it!

Damage is the arch-nemesis of plastic cards, lurking around every corner with its sidekicks - scratches, bends, and breaks. To maintain the functionality and appearance of your cards, it's critical not to bend or twist them. Flexibility might be great for gymnasts, but for plastic cards, not so much.

Bending your cards can create weak spots and eventually lead to breakage. A snapped card isn't just an inconvenience; it's a missed opportunity to showcase your professionalism. So, let's agree to keep them flat and firm, like a good handshake.

Should you have any queries about keeping your cards unbent and business-ready, do reach out to us at [800.835.7919 ] and we'll help you out.

Eternal vigilance is the price of scratchless cards. Don't store them with keys, coins, or anything that can leave a mark. Each card should be treated like the special individual it is, possibly with a protective sleeve or a proper cardholder. By doing so, you're not just avoiding scratches; you're ensuring a pristine image every swipe of the way.

Cards with a scratch-free surface not only function better but also make a much more positive impression. Like a well-kept car, they speak volumes about how much you value quality and your clientele will notice.

Pressure: great for creating diamonds, not so great for your cards. When stored under heavy objects, your cards can become misshapen or even crack under stress. Ensure that there's nothing heavy pressing down on them at any time.

Consider this; a card that's under too much pressure won't perform when you need it most. Your goal is to have a smooth, sleek card, ready to work under any circumstance - not one that's already buckling before use.

Liquids and plastic cards are like oil and water they don't mix well. Keep your cards in a dry environment where spills are unlikely. A coffee spill might be a minor hiccup in your day, but for a card, it can be the end of the road.

By safeguarding your cards from liquid mishaps, you're not just protecting the physical card; you're ensuring the longevity of the data and the functionality that's crucial to your daily operations. They say don't cry over spilt milk, but if that milk ruins your cards, tears are justified!

Just as you wouldn't show up to an important meeting covered in dust, your cards shouldn't either. Regular gentle cleaning with a soft cloth can keep them dirt-free and looking presentable. It's easy to overlook, but clean cards are happy cards, and happy cards give you seamless service.

Contact us at [800.835.7919 ] for advice on the best cleaning methods for your specific type of plastic card, and let's keep your cards shining bright.

Your plastic cards are now stored impeccably and shielded from potential threats, but what about when they're out in the field? Everyday use comes with its own set of challenges, and knowing how to navigate these will help you keep your cards in a prime state of readiness.

First off, invest in quality. Your cards are representing you out there, and each swipe, tap, or flash is a mini-advertisement of your brand. Make it count by ensuring your cards are not just surviving, but thriving.

When your cards head out into the world, arm them with protection. Cardholders and cases are not just accessories; they're necessities. They fend off the scratches, spills, and pressures that the world throws at them.

Just like you wouldn't leave home without your phone case, don't send your cards out without their armor. This simple investment can make all the difference in upholding their integrity day in and day out.

The technique is everything. When swiping or tapping your card, be gentle. No need for a theatrical flourish a simple, smooth motion will do just fine.

Remember, your cards contain delicate components that don't take kindly to rough treatment. Treat them with care, and they'll serve you faithfully in return.

Give your cards regular check-ups, just like you would for your car. Are they showing signs of wear? Do they need cleaning? Quick inspections can catch issues early and save you from unexpected card failures at critical moments.

Regular oversight ensures your cards are always in peak condition, which means no awkward pauses at the checkout line or entry gate because your card decided to take an unexpected vacation.
