The need for cards is becoming more prevalent every year. Cards printed and programmed by the Magicard K are ready for use across several applications and industries. Its wide colour spectrum and enhanced security will allow you to protect and secure your business or organisation. The Magicard K is one of our most durable and reliable printers to date. Focused on meeting the needs of customers in the self-service and kiosk markets, the Magicard K incorporates all of Magicard’s direct to card printing expertise in a customisable package which can be configured to suit an infinite range of applications.

Magicard KBuilt with high performance materials, the Magicard K is kiosk-agnostic so is able to fit a wide range of kiosks currently on the market. It has been designed to facilitate mounting close to other mechanisms and access points, reducing the need for additional interfacing modules or attachments to transport cards. Our customer-focused product development, experience of customisation and world-class technical support services enable us to deliver bespoke product packages to match each customer’s needs. The Magicard K is perhaps the most flexible printer available to operators in the self-service and kiosk markets.


Field test results

As part of the Magicard K’s field testing, several examples of the printer were used within locations ranging from high-street retail outlets toKIOSK Slaes entertainment venues.

During our tests, every customer experienced immediate benefits: for example, in one 30-day period, one kiosk in a single store saw a 550% increase in gift card sales and a further 100% increase in associated in-store spend – customers literally doubled their purchases when using a gift card. Importantly, the financial return from this machine in one month was equivalent to the full purchase price of the kiosk and printer.
