Pre-printed card types:

 

Loyalty Card/Gift Card

A Gift or loyalty card is an ideal way to reward your clients and gain further income. Loyalty cards or Gift cards can be printed both sides with colour. These cards can also been printed with either a barcode or mag-stripe so they can be easily incorporated into a POS sale solution.

Membership Cards

Many large organisation and associations like to issue a membership card to their members, these cards are usually supplied with the main design printed on the card. The card can then be personalised either by us or by using a Plastic card printer as part of an in house card printing solution to print information such as name and number on the card.

Hotel Key Cards

Hotels now use a hotel key card so their residents can access their room easily. These cards are supply with the hotels details to the front of the card and supplied with a Lo-co mag-stripe which can be used with the door locks. Additional options such as a blinds man notch can also be catered for.

Promotional Advertising cards

Running a market campaign along with using a plastic card can greatly increase customer acquisition and increase sales. These card can be a great additional tool to make the most out of your promotion.

 

Print processes

Offset litho - this is the most widely used print process which allows accurate pantone colour matching and inclusion of tints, half tones and other fine detail. Where necessary other print types can be employed in conjunction with litho printing to achieve special effects. ie. metallic colours. Print is under the laminate surface of the card providing a suitable surface for subsequent dye sublimation print or other personalising processes.

Silk screen - cost effective solution for smaller quantity production where tints and half tones are not included within the card design. This is the most effective process for producing strong intense colours as the inks are opaque. It is also used for metallic colours such as gold and silver. As with litho printing the print is sub surface.

Digital - a four-colour process solution for small to medium volume production where designs involve full colour printing or tints/half tones. As with the above processes the print is protected by the pvc surface of the card.

Foil - used to apply 'mirror finish' metallic print, holographic devices, numbering, scratch off panels and certain types of signature panel. The print is on the surface necessitating a 'white out' box from the overlay print around foiled areas when overprinting using the dye sublimation process.

Matt or gloss lamination - by using different lamination plates cards can be finished with either the traditional gloss finish (essential if cards are being retrospectively dye sublimation printed), or matt finish. The matt option has an 'in vogue' look and greatly reduces the scratching of the surface of the card when in use. This is especially pertinent where the background of the card design includes solid areas of dark colours.
