The Copico Card Difference

Copico has unparalleled experience with card technology through its parent company, the Mac-Gray Corporation. Mac-Gray was the first company to employ smart card technology in academic and multi-housing laundry rooms. Today, Mac-Gray operates thousands of card systems. A Copico Card can be used like cash and is refillable from a Card Value Center, which works like an ATM. The machine accepts either bills or charge cards to refill the Copico card. Customers don't have to search for exact change to complete their copying. Use of cards also provides flexibility for pricing so that even an incremental $0.01 can be added for a single copy. Copico can supply cards, or integrate the capability into existing card systems that may already be in use.

Copico cards provide the following benefits:

  • Convenience - eliminating coin hassles
  • Regulates peak time usage with premium pricing
  • Allows for incremental price increases
  • Reduces service calls for jammed coin machines
  • Eliminates theft from coin boxes
  • Serves double duty for the library and laundry facilities
