Hotel key cards

Contactless hotel cards function as an electronic key. Integrated with the hotel system, the cards allow for easy, quick, and monitored access to hotel rooms.

Hotel cards – possibilities and applications

In many hotels, the days of metal keys for hotel doors are a thing of the past. The key in the form of a plastic card looks elegant and often also contains useful information about the hotel for guests – restaurant opening hours, reception phone number, Wi-Fi password, etc.

Examples of functionality offered by plastic hotel cards include:

• easy access to rooms and selected hotel rooms,
• ability to block the card / remove it from the system,
• possibility of re-encoding information,
• personalized card appearance, consistent with the visual identification of the hotel.

Hotel cards – technical aspects

For a hotel card to fulfill its functions, it must be equipped with at least one of the following elements:

• LoCo or HiCo magnetic stripe ,
• Unique, Mifare or other proximity module,
• contact (processor) module.

Each of these elements enables two basic functions – recording information on the card and the card’s ability to communicate with the hotel system. The choice of this item depends on your preferences and the requirements of the hotel. Price, convenience of use for customers, ease of use of cards by staff, memory capacity, level of security, requirements of the existing or planned system – all this should be taken into account when choosing the appropriate module on the card.

Hotel cards – printing options

Hotel cards do not have to be just a functional tool. The hotel card can also be an elegant “business card” for the hotel. The prestigious appearance of a hotel card can be achieved using advanced plastic card printing techniques. These may be e.g.

• logo enhanced with selective varnish,
• matte laminate, giving the card seriousness and elegance,
• metallic/glitter print – pearl, silver or gold, covering selected elements or even the entire card.
