Hotel Key Card FAQs

Do you have a minimum order quantity?

No – we can support anything from a full replacement of your existing stock or a hotel rebrand right down to supplying a top up order if your cards are running low.

And because we stock all major technologies and manufacture in the UK, we can offer speedy turnaround on your order.

What type of personalisation is available?

Hotel key cards can be highly personalised to both sides – from logos, simple text and images to barcodes and QR codes and even magnetic stripes and foils.

You can also use them to advertise your loyalty programmes and seasonal events.

How durable are your hotel key cards?

We recognise that hotel key cards are handled multiple times each day and you want your brand image and logo’s to be protected from scuffs and scrapes.

The print on our hotel key card sits under a protective layer of overlay which protects the print while the card being popped in and out of pockets and wallets.

What materials are used for the production of hotel key cards?

Most hotel key cards are made of PVC, with certified recycled PVC, FSC wood cards and other eco-friendly options also available.

Will your key cards work with my existing access control system?

A wide range of technologies and encoding is available, including Mifare, Fudan, Salto and all other major chips.

If you would like samples to ensure compatibility, please contact us to receive samples.

What other products do you supply into hotel chains?

We supply a wide range of complimentary and printed products into hotel chains – it is one of our biggest sectors.

Card wallets, door hangers, menus and tray liners are all big sellers to our hotel clients who use us for a range of print needs.
