Choosing the right hotel key card
Start with lock compatibility: your lock brand determines the chip family. Then durability — cards live in pockets, beach bags and pool decks, so a waterproof finish decides how the card looks in month nine. Finally brand expression: engraving, foil, embossed numbering and room numbers tie the card to your interior.
We supply every card in your chosen construction pre-encoded and sequenced, so front office can issue it straight from the box.
Materials beyond plastic
FSC-certified walnut, oak, bamboo and olive veneers; recycled paperboard for events and short stays; leather and textile for boutique suites; recycled PVC and PLA bioplastic when a classic card feel is required with a lower footprint.
A property replacing tens of thousands of plastic cards per year turns a material switch into a measurable, reportable carbon saving.
Manufactured in Türkiye, shipped worldwide
Production runs in Istanbul with regular shipments to Europe, the Gulf, the UK and North America. Short lead times and direct communication with the production team replace the long chain of a trading intermediary.
