Considerations When Choosing the Right Hotel Key Card Holder for Your Property
Hotel key card holders are the ideal tools to protect key cards from dirt, loss, damage, and demagnetization. The perfect key card holder for your hotel will match the style of your hotel brand while meeting your guests’ needs. To choose the right key card holder for your property, consider the cut, material, and design of your holder.
Key Card Sleeves Vs. Folders
Key card sleeves are simple holders with one opening which can typically fit up to five cards. Key card folders, on the other hand, are multipanel folders that typically fit the key cards in a pocket. Deciding whether to use folders, sleeves, or both for your hotel is often the first step in choosing the right product for your properties.
Folders are usually larger and can hold more printed information than key card sleeves. Sleeves, however, are more sleek and can usually fit in your guests’ wallet or purse. They come in many sizes and can also have a custom die produced, if your hotel is looking for a unique shape.
Choosing the Right Material
Choosing the right look for your keycards begins with the right material. Paper is the simplest choice for your key card holders, but holders can also be made of high-quality card stock or environmentally friendly materials such as recycled paper or sustainable seed paper.
Choose paper or cardstock for family-friendly hotels, or experiment with different materials for your luxury guest accommodations. Keep in mind that different materials may change the color and printing requirements. Allow our team to guide you through these nuances.
Generic Vs. Customized
Customized key card holders are a perfect way to demonstrate your attention to detail and your dedication to high-quality service. Custom designs can be black and white, two-color, or full color depending on your preference and what you are displaying. Design elements can include your hotel’s logo, a greeting, photos or important information.
