HID ProxCard II (1326) Compatible Cards & Fobs
HID ProxCard II 1326 is the classic thick clamshell proximity card — durable, non-printable, and compatible with all HID 125 kHz readers — typically programmed in 26-bit H10301 format.
The 1326 ProxCard II's hard clamshell housing makes it exceptionally durable for industrial and high-wear environments where thin PVC cards crack or delaminate. American Key Cards supplies 1326-compatible clamshell prox cards programmed to your facility code and card number sequence, providing direct replacement for existing HID cards at a fraction of OEM cost.

Our compatible HID ProxCard II (1326) credentials
American Key Cards manufactures non-OEM credentials engineered to work with your existing HID readers — no hardware changes, encoded to your facility code and card-number range.
Can HID ProxCard II (1326) cards be copied?
HID ProxCard II (1326) is an open format, so a compatible card can be produced from your facility code and card number. We don't copy individual cards on request — we manufacture new, correctly-encoded credentials for systems you own or manage.
The ProxCard II 1326 is a clamshell form factor — a thick, non-printable card with a hard plastic shell encasing the proximity inlay. The security level is determined by the programmed format, not the casing. In standard 26-bit H10301 configuration it is as easily cloned as any other 125 kHz proximity card. The clamshell housing is more durable than thin cards but offers no additional credential security.
Where HID ProxCard II (1326) is used
- Facilities that prefer a durable, thick card badge without photo ID printing
- Industrial and warehouse environments
- Sites where card printers are not used
- Legacy installations originally issued non-printable HID clamshell cards

What is the HID ProxCard II 1326?
The 1326 is HID's classic clamshell proximity card — a thick (1.9 mm) hard-shell card encasing the HID proximity inlay. It is non-printable and measures 86 × 54 mm (credit card width/height). It is fully functional as an access card and is compatible with all HID proximity readers.
Can the HID 1326 ProxCard II be used in a card printer?
No. The 1326 clamshell form factor is not compatible with standard ID card printers — the hard, thick shell prevents it from feeding through print rollers. For printable cards, choose the HID 1386 ISOProx II instead.
Are American Key Cards' 1326-compatible cards the same thickness as the OEM HID card?
Our compatible clamshell prox cards match the standard HID 1326 clamshell dimensions and are programmed with your exact facility code and card number range. They are a direct drop-in replacement for existing HID 1326 cards in your system.
