Insulbrite (sp) - Could it work to protect credit cards
Does anyone know if I made a small credit card pouch using insulbrite inside, would it protect the credit cards like those small little cases or holders do?
|
Interesting! I hadn't thought of that. I'd also would like to know. Thanks for asking.
|
I assume you want to protect the magnetic strip? That would not work IMO. If I hold a magnet onto insulbrite, it does hold needles on the other side.
|
I made a card holder and put HD aluminum foil between the layers. Now planning to repeat the process with the foil seal that you must rip from the top of coffee can--the big 34oz cans,,,? It is almost like metal.
|
Hmmm, not sure. i just fold aluminum foil and put it into my wallet near the outside of the fold. do some searching on how to find out. must be a way to test it.
|
Thanks ladies, I never even thought about putting aluminum foil in there.
Love this board. |
Only lead will work to protect the cards from scanners.
|
One way to find out is to wrap your card with insulbrite and put it above the credit
machine next time you go to the store. A lot of people don't even bother to remove their credit/debit card out of their wallet. They just put their wallet on the machine. |

I just finished making myself a new card holder...with the foil I mentioned in the post above. I don't think a thief will be able to read thru the heavy foil once he gets past all the other junk in my purse! I should
add that it was done in the hoop on embroidery machine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]530659[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]530660[/ATTACH] Very sorry my pix are so large--with ipad--will resize next time. |
