Book cards, book card design and production

Book Card Introduction:

Book cards are generally issued in libraries for people who read, also known as a cardLibrary cardAlso called a borrowing card, it is generally used to distribute cards within the library. Some bookstores also offer such cards to promote consumption and consumption. Broadly speaking, book cards are mainly used in places related to books.

Methods of library card management
1. Barcode book card
A so-called barcode book card refers to a black-and-white tree-shaped stripe printed on the card. The barcode scanner can identify the borrower's information and book details through this stripe, and record the end date and the return date on the card. This is a relatively low-cost way to manage books, but its security factor is not high, and barcodes are relatively prone to wear.
2. Magnetic stripe book cards
As the name suggests, a magnetic stripe book card is a magnetic strip applied to the card, which is designed to solve the problem of barcode book cards being prone to wear. The magnetic stripe book card connects with the magnetic stripe on the card, allowing the machine to recognize the information on the card, transmit the data to the data cable, and finally operate it through the terminal computer. The chance of wear is very low, but of course, demagnetization can still occur. For more on this issue, you can search for my article "Causes of Demagnetization of Magnetic Stripe Cards and How to Avoid Demagnetization."
3: Chip book card
In fact, this product is one our factory is focusing on. The chip library card embeds a chip into the library card, which is sensed by the device and is convenient to use. There is no demagnetization or wear. This card has a long lifespan and fast sensing speed. Of course, it is also somewhat more expensive than the other two. In the long run, it is indeed cheaper than the other two. The others may develop various issues after a period of use, but the chip book card will never show up.

Processes available for book cards:
1. Front and back printed color patterns;
2. Cut image slots on the card (size can be customized);
3. Create barcodes (each card's barcode number can be different), add magnetic stripes, and make magnetic stripe cards; Can be built into an induction chip to make an induction IC card;
4. Create personalized content such as cardholder name and class;
5. Comes with a transparent adhesive film.
