Plastic cards are used for many things, including employee badges, school ID, access control cards, membership cards, and gift cards, just to name a few. Plastic cards come in various sizes, ranging from small key tags to large format cards typically seen for event badges.

Card design services are available with both the Internal Service and On-Site Card Printing Services. Professional card designers can assist with custom card design, including the use of a company’s logo and PMS colors. Card options include bar codes, magnetic stripes, smart cards, signature panels, overlaminate, holograms, UV fluorescent images/text, and many other custom security features.
Full pre-printed cards require no in-house ID card system, as everything — including custom static or variable data and images — is printed fully on the cards at one of our secure service facilities. Pre-printed badges can be produced before an event with a pre-registered list of attendees, thus eliminating the need for someone to be on site for badging.
With edge-to-edge printing, perfect color matching, and consistent excellent quality partially-printed cards, quickly personalize high quality cards in-house and issue on site. Since static data and high resolution images are pre-printed, custom on-demand cards can be issued quickly on site with a less robust and affordable desktop card system.
