Unsure About Your Card Format or Facility Code?

If you have access to your access control system, you may also be able to look it there. If you're unsure and cannot access it, AlphaCard can help—contact our sales team for assistance.

Printing on Your Prox Cards

Customize your prox cards for use as employee IDs, staff ID cards, security passes, and more. By default, the cards will have a small brand logo and reference number printed in the lower left-hand corner.

Ordering Pre-Printed Cards

If you do not want to print your cards in-house, order them professionally printed by the manufacturer. You will need to provide the card artwork.

Printing In-House

You cannot print on clamshell cards using an ID card printer. To customize your clamshell cards, print your design on a thin CR79 10mil adhesive card and apply the printed card to the surface of your clamshell card.

Slot Punch Options

Display your ID cards with accessories like lanyards or badge reels to improve building security and keep them easily accessible. To use the cards with a lanyard or reel, you will need to slot punch the cards.

Ordering Cards Pre-Punched

These clamshell cards are pre-punched with a vertical slot punch.

Slot Punching the Cards In-House

Due to their thick materials, it is not recommended to slot punch clamshell cards in-house.

• HID proximity readers
