The HID 1326 ProxCard II with Adhesive Front is the industry standard 125 kHz proximity clamshell card, ordered with an adhesive front face so a printed label or overlay can be applied to turn the credential into a photo ID badge. The ProxCard II is the cost effective workhorse of proximity access control and offers universal compatibility with all HID proximity readers.
Each card is RF-programmable and ships encoded to your specified ID numbers, carrying an external number printed on the card for easy identification and control. HID supplies a cross-reference list correlating that external number to the programmed ID number, which makes enrolling a batch into your access control software straightforward. The format capacity runs up to 85 bits with over 137 billion unique codes.
Construction is strong, flexible, and resistant to cracking and breaking, with a passive, no battery design that allows an infinite number of reads. Read range is consistent and unaffected by body shielding or variable environmental conditions, even when the card sits against keys and coins. HID backs it with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the adhesive front for?
- It gives the card a front face you can apply a printed label or overlay to, so a plain proximity credential becomes a photo ID badge without replacing the card. HID offers the 1324 PVC direct print overlay and the 1321 photo pouch overlay as companion products for exactly this.
- Will these work with my readers?
- The ProxCard II offers universal compatibility with all HID proximity readers. If your system reads 125 kHz HID Prox today, these will read on it - provided the cards are programmed with the matching format and facility code.
- What do I need to tell you when ordering?
- Your card format, facility code, and starting card number. Proximity cards are encoded to customer specified ID numbers, and a card programmed to the wrong facility code will not open anything on your system. If you are adding to an existing population, send us a sample card number or your original order details.
- Can I print directly onto the card?
- The clamshell is thicker than a standard PVC ID card, which is why the adhesive front and the overlay products exist. A PVC overlay allows on site photo ID using most direct image printers - you print the overlay or label and apply it to the card.
- Does the card have a number printed on it?
- Yes. An external card number is printed for identification and control, and HID supplies a cross-reference list matching that external number to the programmed ID number so you can enroll a batch efficiently.
- Does it need a battery?
- No. The design is passive, drawing its power from the reader field, which allows an infinite number of reads with no maintenance.
- How close does the card need to be to the reader?
- It depends on the reader. Roughly 3 inches at a ProxPoint Plus, 5.5 inches at a MiniProx or ThinLine II, 8 to 9 inches at a ProxPro or ProxPro II, and up to 24 inches at a MaxiProx. Local installation conditions affect the actual range.
- Will it survive outdoor use?
- The card is rated from -50 to 160 F (-45 to 70 C) and is strong, flexible, and resistant to cracking and breaking. Read range is not affected by body shielding or environmental variation, or by carrying the card with keys and coins.
- Can I get custom artwork on them?
- Yes, custom pre-printed artwork with text or graphics is available, as is external card numbering by inkjet. Laser engraving is not offered on this card.
