What Makes Our Paper Hotel Key Cards a Smart Choice
Eco-Friendly
Our paper hotel key cards break down naturally in just 2 to 6 months, unlike plastic cards that can take years. This makes them a much greener choice with far less environmental impact.
Vivid Printing
Colors printed on our paper hotel key cards are more vibrant and accurate, closely matching the original design. Unlike plastic cards, which can make colors look darker, paper provides sharper and clearer visuals.
Same Functionality
Our high-strength paper hotel key cards have a stiffness rating of 7-14, about twice that of standard paper cards. With a thickness of 0.76-0.79mm, they feel just as firm and smooth as plastic cards.
Cost-Effective
Our paper hotel key cards cost much less than wooden hotel key cards and are priced close to plastic ones. They’re also much lighter, helping you save on shipping and reduce your carbon footprint.
Hidden Health Concerns Behind Paper Hotel Key Cards
Reduced Virus Survival Time
Studies show that viruses like COVID-19 survive only about 24 hours on paper, compared to 2 days on wood and up to 3 days on plastic.
Better for Busy Hotels
In high-traffic hotels, where hotel key cards are passed between many guests, using paper hotel key cards can reduce the risk of virus transmission.
Health-Safer Surface
Unlike plastic and wood, paper absorbs moisture quickly, which can limit surface virus activity. Combined with its smoother lifecycle and faster virus breakdown, paper hotel key cards offer a cleaner, more hygienic alternative for hotel use.
