Question
What should I include in a proof to ensure my key cards print in the correct orientation?
Answer
For key cards, hotel key cards, or any card with directional features such as a magnetic stripe, your proof should clearly show the orientation and any backing details. This helps confirm the card is set up to work correctly once encoded and used.
- Show the magnetic stripe or backing details in your proof so the layout can be verified.
- Clearly mark the correct orientation so the front and back align as intended.
- When you order, select the Free Online Proofs option and reference your order number.
- The team can then confirm proper orientation before printing begins.
Options and turnaround can vary by product and may change, so confirm the latest details on the product page or with 4OVER4 support.
If the proof shows the wrong orientation, reject it and upload the file rotated correctly. Approve only once the proof matches how the card will be used at the door reader.
