One Piece, One Card and One Key Tag
Snap the key tag off the card and you have handed one customer your brand in two places at once: a full wallet-sized card and a smaller tab that hangs on a keyring. Both halves share the same artwork, the same finish, and the same number, so a gym member, a loyalty customer, or a cardholder always has you within reach. The plastic card with key tag runs on a single 30mil white PVC piece and starts at $701.05 for 500, with a 4.8 out of 5 rating across 5 reviews.
These cards are built to last. At the exact 30mil thickness of a bank card, the PVC is rigid, waterproof, and made to survive years on a keyring and in a wallet. Want to see how it sits next to the rest of the plastic lineup? Browse the full range on business cards printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 500 starts at $701.05, and because both the card and the fob come out of one piece, that per-unit price already covers the pair. Tap any tier below to see the live order total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Is a Plastic Card with Key Tag?
A plastic card with key tag is a single 30mil white PVC piece, 4.5" x 2.125", that prints as a full credit-card-thick card with a detachable key tag joined to it. It prints full color on one or both sides with rounded 1/8" corners, and you can add a magnetic stripe, a barcode with numbering, or sequential variable data in the live configurator.
Think of it as a membership card and a keyring fob printed as one. The main card is the standard wallet piece a member keeps in a purse or billfold, and the key tag is a smaller fob that snaps off along a perforation to hang on their keys. Because both come from the same run, they match exactly, so nobody has to dig for a card at the register when the tag is already on their keychain. If you only need the fob on its own, the Plastic Key Tags print the tag by itself, and if you only need the card, the 30mil White Plastic Cards run the same stock without the tag.
What Size and Material Is It?
4OVER4 prints the plastic card with key tag at 4.5" x 2.125" on 30mil white PVC, the same credit-card thickness as a bank card, with rounded 1/8" corners. It comes in one size and one stock, finished with either a UV Gloss coat or a Silk Laminated soft-touch matte, and printed 4/0 front only or 4/4 on both sides.
The stock is the star here. At 30mil, the finished piece has the exact heft of a credit card, so it is rigid, waterproof, and built to take real handling. The 4.5" x 2.125" layout runs a little longer than a bank card to make room for the key tag that snaps off the end, and every card ships with the standard rounded 1/8" corners. For the surface you pick a glossy UV coat that makes color pop, or a Silk Laminated matte that feels soft in the hand and hides fingerprints. All of the options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
How Do You Encode Data on Each Card and Tag?
Plastic cards with key tags support a magnetic stripe in LoCo or HiCo, a scannable barcode with numbering in Code 128 or Code 39, and sequential variable data so each card and tag prints a unique number. You can also add a signature panel, a scratch-off panel with a PIN, and foil stamping, each toggled in the configurator and priced live.
This is where the card earns its keep. Turn on variable data and every card and its matching key tag prints a unique sequential number, so a batch of thousands ships already personalized instead of identical. Add a magnetic stripe in LoCo or HiCo to swipe at a point-of-sale or access reader, or a Code 128 or Code 39 barcode so the tag scans right off the keyring at a checkout counter. A signature panel makes it a signable membership or ID card, a scratch-off panel with a PIN hides an activation or reward code, and foil stamping adds a metallic accent for a premium look. Mix the ones you need and leave the rest off.
How Much Does a Plastic Card with Key Tag Cost?
Plastic cards with key tags start at $701.05 for 500, about $1.40 per piece, and the per-card price keeps sliding as the quantity climbs toward 10,000. A run of 2,000 is $1,092.61, 5,000 is $1,888.38, and 10,000 is $3,442.03, which lands each card and tag near 34 cents. Because both halves come out of one piece, that per-unit price already covers the pair. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the order total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Wally prints the card and the key tag as one
Why a 30mil PVC card with a snap-off fob keeps members checking in fast.
One 30mil PVC piece gives your member a wallet card and a keyring tag, both with the same design and the same number. Add a magnetic stripe, a barcode, or sequential numbering so every check-in is a quick scan. Pick a finish and Wally runs the whole batch from $701.05 for 500.
What Do People Use These For?
The combo shines anywhere a member needs to be recognized fast. Gyms and fitness clubs hand out the card for the wallet and the tag for the keyring, so check-in is a quick scan at the door. Retailers run loyalty and rewards programs where the fob rides on a keychain and gets scanned at the register, and libraries, car washes, salons, and coffee shops use them the same way. Nonprofits print them as discount or fundraising cards. When each member needs a different number, variable data numbers every piece so a whole roster prints in one job with no two alike. If a card without the tag fits a program better, the Plastic Membership Cards cover that same use.
How Do These Compare to Our Other Plastic Cards?
The plastic card with key tag is the pick when a member needs the card and the fob together, but it is not your only move. If you are weighing the tag on its own, the plain card, or a membership card, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up this product against its closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Words only go so far. Want to see how stock, color, and finish come together on a real plastic card with a snap-off tag? The gallery below collects work our own customers printed in-house, across different finishes and encoding options, so you can borrow ideas and see how a choice actually reads on a 30mil card. Tap any print to see it larger.
How Fast Can You Get Them?
Plastic cards take longer than paper because each one is printed, die-cut into the card-and-tag shape, encoded with any stripe or barcode you added, and laminated in-house, so plan on a 15 business day standard turnaround. Before it runs, you can send it straight to production or ask for a free online proof to check the layout, numbering, and colors first. It is worth the extra step when every card carries a member ID you cannot afford to get wrong.
See the Rest of Our Cards
The plastic card with key tag is one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If the tag on its own, a plain plastic card, or a heavier program card would serve you better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
