By Harriet Porter


Security is a serious problem facing the hotelier business thus slips with bar codes are replacing the traditional lock and key method, this new method is not only secure but also convenient to the customers too. Many customers tend to carry coins and keys with the cards which scratch and scrap them affecting their functionality, dropping the cards is another way in which the slips break and get scratched. The use of Hotel key card sleeves has by far proven to be the only way to ensure that the cards functionality is maintained over a long period of time.

Velvet, paper, synthetic, plastic and denim are the range of materials that are used to make the protective wallets. These materials are dynamically made to accommodate all the conditions that the slips have to go through when being used by the customers. Due to the fact that they can protect the slips from breaking, the heavy and thick materials are more suitable and considered to be better than the rest.

The size of the slip is universal thus all the protective wallets can accommodate any kind of slip regardless of the premises in question. The size is normally three and a half inches in length and two and half inches wide, they can be made bigger with several pockets in accordance with the preference of the customer.

The range of materials used to make these wallets is made to cover every sort of financial position of the customers. Paper wallets are considerably cheap and readily available, they are, however, not durable and reliable in the long term thus they need to be changed and altered every now and then.

Velvet and leather are sleek and elegant materials that are mostly used by high end hotels, these materials are used because they have a sophisticated look which is used to represent the status quo. They can only be made on order because of their price and the frequency of their use; most of them are costume made to fit the requirements of the customer. Despite their high price, they are very reliable and can withstand a wide range conditions that can cause destruction and damage to the slips.

Denim and synthetic materials are also widely used by various upscale hotels, their price is significantly high basically because they are durable and can withstand many conditions. These materials are stiff thus they can protect the slips from breaking when sat on or dropped, they, however, get messed up when in contact with water by shrinking and reducing in size.

Initials or names of the premises can be inscribed in the wallets for a unique look; this is done by customizing them as per the customers directives. Color and names makes them easily found when issuing the cards to customers, the codes do not change thus the slips should be kept for quite some time.

Implementation of the slips is quite costly thus maintenance should be taken seriously and keenly since any changes call for more finance. Choosing the materials should also be done with discretion since any mistakes could lead to having to fix the entire system.
