Encoding

NFC or magstripe for membership programs

Pick the reader you already own, then pick the card.

Magnetic stripe PVC cards used for membership encoding

NFC is clean. Magstripe is everywhere. The wrong choice is the one your turnstile cannot read.

A practical split

  • Existing POS and hotel locks: HiCo magstripe
  • New gym or coworking fit-out: NFC / RFID
  • Gift and loyalty that must work at an old terminal: stripe first
We can encode both. We cannot invent a reader you do not have.

Send the reader model with the quote. We will confirm the chip or stripe before artwork is locked.
