Can I encode a magnetic stripe?

Yes.
IDs Now supports magnetic stripe encoding on tracks 1, 2 & 3 in standard formats. We use only HiCo (high coercivity) cards. You´ll need to be familiar with your own magnetic stripe encoding requirements if you´d like us to encode the cards as part of the printing process. Like bar codes or any other variable text field, you may join several fields together for the encoding process. If you have your own encoder, you can just order the cards with the blank magnetic stripe, and encode them when you receive them.
