Types of Magstrip:
- Glue-down lamination tape
for Paper tickets. As the name suggests, this tape is glued to the substrate using an
adhesive of the customer’s supply.
- Franklin type, hot stamp or roll on transfer tape
The composition of the tape differs from the glue-down types, because it is coated with a suitable heat activated adhesive on the reverse side. It also has a release coating on top of the oxide layer to ensure that the PET carrier separates freely from the applied tape
- Heat Transfer (cold-peel) tape
The name cold-peel comes from the
characteristics of the tape, which allow the PET carrier film to be “peeled” away once the adhesive has cooled.
Various adhesive types are used, depending on the kind of substrate for which the stripe is required to adhere. The most common materials in use today are paper or PVC.
- Total Lamination tape
This type of tape has mainly been superseded by cold-peel types because the thicker overall material, when laminated in plastic transaction cards, produced weakness “compressions” along the tape edges.
