Why Use Hotel Key Card Sleeves?

By Harriet Porter


Cards that use bar codes are being adopted to ensure security as opposed to the traditional lock and key method used initially, this new method as proven to be more convenient and reliable to both the customers and the hosts in terms of security. Being scratched and broken are the some of the problems that the slips face especially when kept with rough items like coins and keys common with many customers. In the attempt to curb these problems Hotel key card sleeves have been devised to ensure that the cards are well kept to maintain their functionality.

Materials ranging from velvet, plastic, paper to thick and heavy materials like denim are being used to make these protective wallets. Customers subject the cards to all sorts of conditions thus the materials are made to make sure that they are well protected and secure. The most favorable of the lot is the heavy and thick since they ensure that the slip is not broken when sat on or when dropped on hard surfaces.

The size of the slip is universal thus all the protective wallets can accommodate any kind of slip regardless of the premises in question. The size is normally three and a half inches in length and two and half inches wide, they can be made bigger with several pockets in accordance with the preference of the customer.

Finance is one aspect that affects many premises when purchasing the slips but the materials have been made to accommodate any budget. Paper wallets are the cheapest and readily available but they are not durable thus they have to changed regularly to ensure safety of the slips.

High end restaurants use sleek and elegant materials like leather and velvet, the reason behind this is that the materials have the touch of sophistication to act as a status symbol. Due to their high prices the wallets are only made on order from the premises, they are customized as required by the customers to make them unique and easily identifiable. Although pretty expensive, these wallets are very reliable and are able to withstand various conditions without subjecting the slips to damage and destruction.

Heavy and thick materials like denim are also common with the upscale hotels; they rank high on the cost chart due to the fact that they are strong and resistant to many substances. Unlike the other materials denim is able to protect the slip from snapping when sat on since they are firm and stiff, the set back of this material is that it shrinks when in contact with water.

In order to make the wallets unique, they can be customized to have the initials or the name of the premises. Different colors can also make them easily identifiable when issuing them out to the customers. Since the codes rarely change it is important to the cards intact.

Maintenance of the slips is equally important as implementing them since it can be costly to keep changing them. The material being used to protect the cards should be chosen with discretion to ensure full protection of the slips and longevity of their functionality in the premises.
