ONE CARD FOR ID AND ACCESS
Give staff a clear ID card they can also use for workplace access.
A combined card can reduce the number of items staff carry while helping colleagues, visitors and security teams recognise people quickly.
Workplace branding
Use your approved logo, colours and card instructions to create a consistent staff identity.
Easy to recognise
Keep the name, photograph and role clear enough to read at a glance.
Access when required
Add the magnetic stripe, RFID or NFC technology confirmed for the existing workplace system.
MATCHING THE EXISTING ACCESS SYSTEM
Use a current card or provider specification to match the technology.
A working card or written technical specification gives us the best reference for the card type, access technology and any encoding required.
PlasticCard.nz supplies the printed cards and any agreed encoding. Your access-system provider continues to manage readers, locks, software, enrolment, permissions, compatibility testing and ongoing operation.
Choose Printed ID Badges when visible identification is all you need. Choose Staff ID and Access Cards when the same card must also work with the existing access system.
Send a working card or the access provider’s specifications.
We’ll combine the confirmed technology requirements with the staff details, artwork and wear method needed for the finished cards.

HELPFUL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Questions about staff ID and access cards?
Can one staff card show ID and open doors?
Yes, when the existing system provider confirms the compatible card technology, encoding and testing requirements.
Can every staff card have a different photograph and role?
Yes. Supply an authorised photograph and accurate staff details for each card in the agreed format.
Can you supply magnetic stripe staff access cards?
Yes, when the system provider confirms the stripe type, position, coercivity, encoding format, data and testing requirements.
Can you supply RFID or NFC staff access cards?
Yes, when the system provider confirms the chip, frequency, memory, keys, sectors or blocks, encoding and testing requirements.
Do you install readers or configure access software?
No. Reader and lock installation, software configuration, enrolment, permissions and ongoing system support remain with the workplace and its provider.
How are these different from printed ID badges?
Printed ID Badges provide visible identification only. Staff ID and Access Cards combine visible staff details with technology for an existing compatible access system.
What should we provide for a staff card quote?
Provide the access-system details and provider contact, a working card or specification, the required technology and encoding, visible staff details, quantity, artwork status, wear method and delivery information.
