Plastic cards are a silent salesman for your brand, and like anything that represents you, they gotta look their best. With our simple maintenance guidelines, we promise to keep your cards in tip-top condition. So grab a coffee, and let's get into the nitty-gritty of plastic card care, shall we?

Cleaning Cards 101

First things first, let's talk cleaning. Dirt, grime, and fingerprints? Not on our watch! A clean card is a happy card and keeps those pesky scanners from throwing a fit.

But before you go all-in with a scrubbing brush, remember that gentle is the way to go. A soft cloth and some soapy water can work wonders without scratching up your card's surface.

Avoiding Scratches

Scratches on a card? It's a big no-no. It's not just about looks; scratches can really mess with your card's functionality. Hence, storing them safely is key to avoiding unwanted scrapes.

Think nice, soft sleeves or a dedicated card holder. These little buddies can save you a lot of headaches, ensuring your card is always ready for action.

The Do's and Don'ts

It's dos and don'ts time, folks. Do keep your cards clean and dry. Don't expose them to extreme temps or sunlight. It's the simple things that'll keep them going strong.

And remember, if you're ever unsure, just reach out to us at 800.835.7919 . We're always here to help out!

Handling Cards with Care

Handling your cards with care is a big deal. Whether you're dealing them out or tucking them away, each move counts. A little TLC goes a long way!

Be the person who makes everyone jealous of your card-keeping skills. It's a reputation worth having, we promise!

The A-Z of Card Maintenance

Maintaining your plastic cards is like taking care of a prized possession. You want to treat them right, and we've got the alphabet of maintenance ready to share.

From A for "Always check for dirt" to Z for "Zero tolerance for roughhousing," we cover it all. By the end, you'll be a plastic card maintenance pro!

Regular Cleaning Schedule

Time to make cleaning these little guys a habit. A regular schedule will keep them in shape and is super easy to do once you get the hang of it.

Just a few swipes here and a wipe-down there, and you'll maintain that fresh-out-the-box look everyone loves.

Appropriate Cleaning Solutions

Our pro tip? Choose your cleaning potions wisely. Avoid alcohol or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the card's protective covering and print.

Opt for mild soap solutions instead and always, always, test on a small area. It's the cautious card keeper's way!

Safe Storage is Key

Where you pack your plastic pals is pretty important. Find them a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and they'll thank you by staying in prime condition.

Keep 'em separate from keys or coins, and you'll avoid scratches like a boss.

Proper Handling Techniques

Hold your cards by the edges, and don't bend or twist them-that's just card care basics. Like holding a rare butterfly, it's all about that gentle, respectful touch.

Follow through with this, and you'll avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

Unlocking the Longevity of Your Cards

Life is short, but your plastic cards don't have to be. Unlocking their full longevity means fewer replacements, less hassle, and more happy handlings.

We've got the secret sauce that will keep your cards serving faithfully for years to come. Stick around; this is about to get good!

Avoid Sharing Cards

Sharing might be caring, but not when it comes to your cards. The less they bounce from hand to hand, the better they'll preserve their condition.

Issue individual cards whenever possible to keep them personalized and pristine.

Everyday Care is Crucial

Your cards deserve daily love, not just a yearly check-up. Everyday care keeps them looking sharp and functioning flawlessly.

Think of it as brushing your teeth, but for your plastic buddies. It's that level of basic.
