The proven functionality as well as the simple and cost-effective application of magnetic stripe cards speak for themselves. The decisive factor in the choice of magnetic stripe is the desired magnetic flux density. Depending on the area of application, choose either a HiCo or LoCo magnetic stripe.

HiCo (High Coercivity, 2700 Oersted or 4000 Oersted) magnetic stripe cards offer a robust structure and are resistant to foreign magnetic fields Special magnetic heads are required for writing. Accidental deletion of stored data is virtually impossible.

LoCo (Low Coercivity, 300 Oersted) magnetic strips have a lower magnetic flux density than HiCo magnetic strips. Data can be erased by external magnetic fields.
