Do not touch the printing surface of the cards, as this would affect the quality of the printing. Do not use damaged or folded cards or cards with a raised texture. Always store new cards in a clean, dust free location. Only use the magnetic stripe cards that comply with ISO Standard 7810 and 7811.
