What matters for this property type
Room and locker access combine on one credential. With high loss rates, an economical body and bulk runs make sense.
What we recommend
Recycled board or rPVC cards with single-colour print, optionally with fabric wristbands for shared lockers.
How it works
We propose chip and material based on your lock brand and estimated volume. After artwork approval we send a branded sample set, then move to production.
Items can arrive pre-encoded, numbered and sleeved.
Frequently asked questions
+Can you match our lock system?
Yes. We produce with the chip family your locks read; if unsure, we inspect a sample of your current card first.
+What is the minimum order quantity?
Low volumes are possible for small properties; unit cost drops noticeably above 500 pieces.
+How long is the lead time?
Typically 10–15 working days after artwork approval; wood and leather may take a few days longer.
