FAQ
How are my cards made?

 

Each card blank is manufactured from high quality PVC and is 86mm X 54mm in size, commonly known as a CR80 card.

We supply cards in two thicknesses, either  0.76mm (30mil) or 0.50mm (20mil).


The 0.76mm card material is just like your standard credit card. Flexible, durable and long lasting. This is recommended for photo ID’s, club memberships and other high usage cards. The thinner 0.50mm type is slightly lower in cost but will not withstand the same punishment as the thicker card. These are recommended for lighter duties such as business cards or novelty type cards.


Cards containing a magnetic stripe conform to the ISO standards. These standards specify such things as stripe dimensions, position of stripe on the card, and the format of the written data.


Our cards are printed using a 4 colour CMYK dye sublimation process. Print resolution is 300 dpi resulting in excellent quality images on each card.


Your artwork is edited to suit the card dimensions and your specific needs. We add in your variables such as personnel names, title, employee numbers, etc. Maybe you need a coded mag stripe on the rear for photocopier usage, or access control to a building. You may require a simple barcode. All these options can be incorporated into your cards design.
We compose these details, print your card order and deliver to your door.

 

How much will it cost?

We have three card types. Pre-printed, single sided and double sided. Prices vary according to type.

We charge a one-time setup fee of $55.00 (inc GST) for any customised design. Complex or labour intensive designs

may incur a $75.00 artwork fee.

 Our pre-printed cards do not attract a setup fee, and represent a cost effective alternative to full customisation.
