I sometimes put a custom-made magnetic card inside customer's pianos, but 
only for the advertising value. The service record itself is always kept on 
a PTG RPT Service Record card with my name and number printed on it (I do 
it on my old laser printer) and kept in the piano, the bench or by the 
customer somewhere handy. The temp and Rh as well as any "unusual" service 
are transferred to my database off the invoice when I get back to the 
office for my own records.

If you're not an RPT or desire a custom card it's a relatively simple 
matter to make up a service card with your word processor and either print 
them out on card stock, preferably with a laser printer so the ink won't 
run, or take them to a print shop and have them done. If you are an RPT 
it's a lot cheaper to buy them from the PTG store.
