Credit cards, bank cards, library cards, access control cards, time and attendance cards and employee ID cards frequently use HiCo technology. HiCo cards are common in applications where they require a longer card life and are swiped often. The stronger magnetic field makes HiCo cards more durable because the data encoded on the stripes are less likely to unintentionally be erased when exposed to an outside magnetic field. HiCo magnetic stripe cards are typically black in color and they are encoded with a stronger magnetic field (2750 Oersted). High Coercivity or "HiCo" cards are recommended for a majority of applications. The primary difference between HiCo and LoCo cards has to do with how difficult it is to encode and erase the information on each type of stripe. The amount of data that can be encoded on to a card with a magnetic stripe card is the same for both HiCo and LoCo cards. ![]() What’s The Difference Between a HiCo & LoCo Magnetic Stripe Card? ![]()
