A USEFUL CARD FOR MEMBERS AND STAFF
Put the information people need at a glance on the card.
A good membership card should help the member feel recognised and help staff or volunteers quickly confirm the details that matter.
Status and tier
Show the membership type, level or benefit when staff or members need to recognise it.
Renewal and expiry
Decide whether dates appear on the card, in the system or both and how replacement cards will be handled.
Useful instructions
Keep contact, return, renewal or programme information concise enough to remain helpful throughout the membership period.
CHECK-IN AND ACCESS
Add barcodes, magnetic stripes, RFID or NFC when the existing system needs them.
Membership cards can include printed codes or card technology for an existing gym, venue, membership or access system.
The system provider confirms the required barcode format, number range, stripe, chip, frequency, encoding, data and testing details. PlasticCard.nz uses those requirements for the physical cards and any agreed encoding.
The organisation and its provider continue to manage member records, permissions, software, readers and ongoing system operation.

HELPFUL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Questions about membership cards for clubs and organisations?
Which organisations can use membership cards?
Membership cards can suit clubs, gyms, associations, community and professional organisations, alumni groups and supporter programmes that identify members, show status or support check-in.
Can every card include a different name, number or expiry date?
Yes. Supply accurate member data and approve the layout and proofs before production.
Can membership cards include photographs?
Yes. Authorised member photographs can be included when they are clearly matched to the correct member data.
Can clubs order more cards for new members later?
Yes. Plan the data format, artwork version and approval process early so later orders can be produced consistently.
Can the cards work with a check-in or access system?
Yes, when the existing system provider confirms the card technology, code or number format, data, encoding and testing requirements.
Do you manage member records or access permissions?
No. The organisation and its provider manage member records, software, readers, permissions and ongoing system operation.
What should we provide for a membership-card quote?
Provide how the card will be used, the quantity, printed member details, data format, artwork status, proof approver and any provider-confirmed check-in or access requirements.
