Just like any other ambassador of your brand, plastic cards require daily attention to maintain their appeal. The hustle and bustle of everyday use can leave marks, but fear not! A simple routine can keep your cards sparkling clean. Be sure to use a soft cloth and alcohol-free solutions to wipe the surface gently.

Always remember, less is more. Excessive cleaning can wear down the card and affect its functionality. Keep it simple and gentle to maintain the card's integrity and operability.

The longevity of a plastic card can often come down to its storage. Keep your cards away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture. These elements can warp or damage the card, leading to decreased functionality and a less than favorable presentation.

Store cards in a cool, dry place to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. This practice not only preserves the card's aesthetic but also its electronic components, ensuring continued performance.

It's the little things that count. The way cards are handled can significantly affect their durability. Teach your staff and clients to handle the cards by the edges to reduce direct contact with the surface and maintain its pristine condition.

Encourage cardholders to keep cards in a protective sleeve or wallet slot dedicated to the card. This prevents scratches, keeping the card in an as new" condition for as long as possible.

Maintaining your plastic cards starts with the source of their creation: your card printer. It's essential to keep your printer in prime working order to avoid any issues that could impact the quality of your cards. Clean printers mean clean cards!

Regular cleaning sessions are a must. Running a cleaning card through your printer every so often can prevent unwanted debris or residue that could transfer onto your cards. When the printer is in tip-top condition, you'll see the difference in every card it produces. If you're in need of a top-notch printer or cleaning supplies, feel free to reach out to us at 800.835.7919 .

A recommended practice for keeping your card printer clean is to establish a consistent cleaning cycle. Depending on the volume of cards you produce, this could be as often as after every batch or at the end of each day.

Sticking to this routine will not only extend the lifespan of your printer but also uphold the professional appearance of your printed cards. Keeping this cycle consistent is the key to uninterrupted service and quality.

Got a pesky printer problem? Sometimes card printers can throw a curveball with unexpected issues like card jams or uneven printing. Knowing how to quickly troubleshoot these problems ensures that you're back in business in no time.

Consulting the printer's manual can provide quick fixes, but our experts at Plastic Card ID are also on hand to assist with any issues. Don't hesitate to contact us for speedy solutions!
