Blank Magnetic Stripe Cards, also known as swipe cards, are a common type of card widely used in payment, access control, hotel key cards, identification, and many other fields. Their main feature is that they have one or more black magnetic recording media on the card surface, which stores data by changing the magnetic properties of the tiny iron-based magnetic particles on the magnetic material.
Blank Magnetic Stripe Cards, are unencoded magnetic stripe cards that are usually categorized as Low Magnetic (LoCo, 300 Oe) and High Magnetic (HiCo, 2750 Oe or 4000 Oe). There are generally three magnetic tracks (Track 1, Track 2, and Track 3), each of which can store different types of data. Data can be written to the Magnetic Stripe using a dedicated encoder according to customer requirements.
Magnetic stripe cards are widely used in a variety of applications such as identification, access control, payment systems, hotel cards, membership cards, and more. These cards are made of rugged plastic material with one or more magnetic stripes that can be encoded to store various information as per requirement. Due to their affordability and versatility, blank magnetic stripe cards are widely used in many industries.

Magnetic Stripe Card Features
1. Magnetic Stripe Type
Common types of magnetic stripes include Magnetic Head Read Magnetic Stripes, which are read by a magnetic head sensing the information on the magnetic strip. Other types such as Magnetic Crystal Cards and Magnetic Levitation Cards are not common in Blank Magnetic Stripe Cards although they exist.
2. Magnetic Stripe Structure
A magnetic stripe usually consists of three magnetic tracks (Track 1, Track 2, and Track 3), each of which is used to store a different type of information. Each track is used to store different types of information. Track 1 is mainly used to store information such as the cardholder account number and issuer code; Track 2 is mainly used to store important information such as the cardholder account number, name of the cardholder, expiration date, etc.; and Track 3 is generally used to store additional information.
3. Data Format
The magnetic stripe card's magnetic stripe data format follows the international standard ISO7810, in which the data format of magnetic stripe 1 and magnetic stripe 2 adopts ABA code (American Bankers Association) encoding. The data format of magnetic channel 1 is variable length, generally 79 characters; the data format of magnetic channel 2 is variable length, generally 40 characters.
4. Security
Because information on magnetic stripe cards is stored on the magnetic stripe, they are relatively less secure than other payment methods such as chip cards. Magnetic stripe cards are susceptible to the risk of information leakage and copying of the magnetic stripe, and therefore require special attention to security protection when in use.
5. Customizability
Blank Magnetic Stripe Cards are highly customizable. Users can print text, patterns, barcodes, etc. on the card surface according to their needs. Also, the magnetic stripe can be encoded to store specific information.
Precautions for use
1. When using Blank Magnetic Stripe Cards, care should be taken to avoid placing the magnetic stripe together with magnetic objects so that the magnetic stripe information will not be damaged.
2. Regularly check and maintain the magnetic stripe card to ensure its normal use and information security.
