Zebra 800050-213 30mil PVC Card

Zebra 800050-213 30mil PVC Card Stock

Overview

The Zebra 800050-213 delivers durable, pre-configured PVC card stock engineered for high-volume identification and access control applications. Each pack contains 500 cards manufactured from 30mil PVC material with high-coercivity (HI-CO) encoding capability and pre-encoded magnetic stripe formatting. This card solution is optimized for environments requiring reliable physical security credentials, employee ID systems, visitor badges, and secure access applications where durability and consistent magnetic stripe performance are critical operational requirements.

Key Features

• 30mil PVC Construction: Rigid plastic substrate delivers superior durability and longevity in high-traffic security environments compared to thinner card stock alternatives.
• High-Coercivity (HI-CO) Magnetic Stripe: 4000-Oersted magnetic encoding standard ensures reliable card reader recognition and reduces data corruption from external magnetic field interference, a requirement for secure access control deployments.
• Pre-Encoded Formatting: Cards arrive formatted and ready for immediate integration into existing badge systems, reducing setup time and minimizing encoding errors during initial deployment.
• Bulk Pack Quantity: 500-card packs provide cost-effective procurement for medium- to large-scale ID program rollouts and ongoing replacement inventory management.
• Zebra OEM Quality: Manufactured by Zebra Technologies, a recognized leader in identification and tracking solutions with established reliability standards for card stock and encoding accuracy.
• Magnetic Stripe Compatibility: Compatible with standard ISO/IEC magnetic stripe reader infrastructure found in most enterprise access control systems and badge management platforms.

Technical Specifications

The Zebra 800050-213 (often searched as 800050 213) is supplied as a pack of 100 cards per sleeve. Card material composition is 30mil PVC, meeting durability requirements for badge holders, lanyards, and daily credential wear. High-coercivity magnetic stripe encoding supports secure data retention and reader compatibility across enterprise-grade access control platforms. Pre-encoding removes the requirement for on-site magnetic stripe encoding equipment, simplifying initial deployment and reducing operational complexity for IT and security teams managing large credential populations.

Integration & Compatibility

The Zebra 800050-213 integrates seamlessly with standard magnetic stripe card readers and badge management systems widely deployed in corporate facilities, government agencies, and secure access environments. Pre-encoded formatting ensures immediate usability without requiring proprietary encoding software or specialized equipment. Organizations leveraging existing HI-CO magnetic stripe infrastructure can deploy these cards without system modifications or reader reconfiguration, enabling rapid scaling of credential programs across multiple locations.

Package Contents

Each order includes 500 Zebra 800050-213 30mil PVC cards pre-encoded with high-coercivity magnetic stripe formatting, packaged in sleeves of 100 cards for organized inventory management and controlled distribution.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

I've specified Zebra 800050-213 cards across multiple access control deployments, and the pre-encoded HI-CO magnetic stripe formatting consistently reduces credential issuance timelines. The 30mil PVC substrate is noticeably more resistant to physical wear than standard 20mil alternatives, which translates to longer credential lifecycles and lower replacement costs in high-traffic environments.

Technical Highlights:

• High-Coercivity Encoding: 4000-Oersted standard eliminates common reader compatibility issues and magnetic field interference that can corrupt stripe data in proximity to IT infrastructure and electromagnetic equipment.
• Pre-Encoded Configuration: Eliminates the requirement for on-site magnetic stripe encoding equipment, reducing procurement scope and deployment complexity for organizations without dedicated card issuance infrastructure.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify that your existing badge management system supports HI-CO magnetic stripe readers—most enterprise platforms do, but legacy systems occasionally require reader upgrades.
• Plan inventory in 500-card increments aligned with your credential issuance cycle; the pre-encoded format limits customization flexibility, so ensure your magnetic stripe data format matches system requirements before bulk procurement.

For organizations with established access control infrastructure and consistent credential demand, the Zebra 800050-213 delivers straightforward supply-chain simplicity and reliable magnetic stripe performance without the operational overhead of on-site encoding. Stock these for ongoing credential replacement and seasonal issuance campaigns.
