Proximity Card
Secure Way to Control Entry
Whether they are made from PVC or a composite material, printable or key fobs, proximity cards come in a wide range of styles. Knowing all the options means you can select the styles of cards best suited to your business needs.
Standard Prox Cards
A standard proximity card is made from white PVC and the same size as a CR80 ID card. PVC is the most common card material.
Clamshell Prox Cards
Clamshell proximity cards are thicker than normal 30mil cards. Due to this thicker size you cannot print on clamshell cards using an ID card printer.
Magnetic Stripe Prox Cards
Magnetic stripe proximity cards allow you to encode additional data on the card using a HiCo magnetic stripe along with the access control functionality.
Prox Card Adhesive Tags
Small enough to be stuck onto an existing employee ID card, phone, or wallet, these adhesive tags convert objects into access control cards.
Prox Card Key Fobs
Prox card key fobs are designed to fit right on your key ring so you never leave the house without your access control card.
Prox Cards for Printing
Not all prox cards can be printed on using an ID card printer – these access control cards are made from specialized materials that work with your card printer.
Corporate 1000
HID’s exclusive Corporate 1000 program allows members to register their card information with HID to track their card information.
Composite Prox Cards
A composite proximity card is made from a combination of PVC and polyester, making it better able to withstand lamination and reverse transfer printing than a standard PVC card.
There are three types of proximity card that made up based on its specification and features.
