CARDSource participated in PIM Olive Club networking event.

We had the opportunity to network with our fellow printers, organized by PIM Olive Club. Our group gathered at a local restaurant for dinner, drinks, and socializing, prior to the main event. Watching our local baseball team St. Paul Saints take on Winnipeg Goldeyes. We won!

Fun Baseball Membership Card

Tennessee Smokies are a minor league baseball team. We printed different background colors to determine their different levels of membership. This level has a nice bright red color which looks great behind their logo.

Do you have a complex mail project requiring matching and attaching?

CARDSource has 40+ years of experience providing solutions to the most complex match affixing and mailing challenges. Cards are definitely not all that we do!

Magnetic stripe technology has been around for 40+ years, and more magnetic stripe cards are produced today than ever before. However, there is still widespread misunderstanding about magnetic stripes and their role in bank and gift card transactions.

Magnetic stripes are thin layers of ferrous oxide applied to the surface of the card. Each oxide particle has a magnetic north and magnetic south pole. When first applied to the surface of the card, the arrangement of these particles is totally random, the stripe is magnetically neutral and is said to be “un-encoded” or blank. To add information to the magnetic stripe, the oxide particles are forced to align with their magnetic poles in the same direction. By periodically reversing the direction of the alignment this “encoding” creates a pattern of transitions between north south magnetic fields. It is these transitions that are read and interpreted as data.
