Understanding The Use Of Hotel Key Card Sleeves

By Harriet Porter


Security is a serious problem facing the hotelier business thus slips with bar codes are replacing the traditional lock and key method, this new method is not only secure but also convenient to the customers too. Many customers tend to carry coins and keys with the cards which scratch and scrap them affecting their functionality, dropping the cards is another way in which the slips break and get scratched. The use of Hotel key card sleeves has by far proven to be the only way to ensure that the cards functionality is maintained over a long period of time.

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.

Due to the fact that the size of the slips is universal the wallets can accommodate any type of slip from any premises worldwide. The length and width are three and half inches and two and half inches respectively, the size, however, can be altered as the customer prefers.

The range of materials used to make these wallets is made to cover every sort of financial position of the customers. Paper wallets are considerably cheap and readily available, they are, however, not durable and reliable in the long term thus they need to be changed and altered every now and then.

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.

Upscale restaurants are known to use denim and synthetic materials; they are costly due to their ability to withstand various types of hazards that can affect the functionality of the slips. The materials have the rigidity required to ensure that the slip does not snap when sat on or dropped, water, however, makes them shrink in size.

Initials or names of the premises can be inscribed in the wallets for a unique look; this is done by customizing them as per the customers directives. Color and names makes them easily found when issuing the cards to customers, the codes do not change thus the slips should be kept for quite some time.

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.
