Who needs Zebra cards

Zebra cards are commonly used in several industries to enforce security and access control, as well as branding and customer engagement. Some industries that use Zebra cards include:

• Companies and offices: Use Zebra cards to print employee ID badges for access, time tracking and security, with visitors being issued temporary cards.
• Retail and hospitality: Zebra cards can be used as durable loyalty cards, membership cards and branded gift cards. If the Zebra card contains a magnetic stripe or RFID, it can become a hotel room key.
• Schools and universities: Students and staff may have ID cards printed on Zebra cards that allow them access to the library, cafeteria or other areas.
• Healthcare providers: Zebra cards can be used as staff ID badges (with photo and security features), or for patient ID cards.
• Events and entertainment: Zebra cards are often used to create conference badges, concert or festival passes and VIP or crew cards. Some may include barcodes or RFID for fast entry.
• Government and public services: Secure ID cards, permits, licenses and transit passes can be created using Zebra cards.
