Description

The magnetic stripe on the back of the card can be encoded with alpha and numeric data, which can be read by a card reader on a till, POS terminal etc. Mag stripes come in two varieties: HiCo (high coercivity) and LoCo (low coercivity). LoCo stripes require a lesser amount of energy to record, thus making them cheaper to produce, but easier to erase by strong magnetic fields. HiCo stripes, however, are much harder to erase and more resistant. Apart from this, these two magnetic stripes are also optically different: LoCo stripes appear to be brownish whereas HiCo black. More importantly, apart from normal black magnetic stripe, Century LinkTek can also supply colored mag stripe as per your requirement.
