Card Printing

By default, the cards are white.

Black printing (1-2 days) is done with the thermal transfer technique. It's a low quality print, albeit a tough one. It is usually used for printing serial codes, QR codes, or even the UID of the card itself. However, simple logos can also be printed.

Color printing is carried out with Retransfer, UV, or Offset printing. The printing technique is suggested based on the customer's graphics, to achieve an optimal result.

Standard printing takes between 7 and 15 working days, depending on the quantity.

Express printing takes between 2 and 5 working days, depending on the quantity and processing queue.

Instructions for printing file

• We strongly recommend to use a vector graphics file (AI, PDF, SVG). If you don't have a vector file, you can use also JPG, PNG, or TIFF with 300 DPI at least
• Consider 1 mm bleed on each side: image file must be about 87.6 x 56 mm
• Color settings: CMYK

Variable printing

We offer card printing with variable fields (such as identification badges with personal photo), without additional charge. Variable printing can include text fields, images, QR codes, serial numbers.

For variable printing, we need:

• an Excel spreadsheet with 1 column for each variable field (and 1 row for each different card);
• directions about how fields have to be positioned (i.e. with a sample image);
• any preferences about Font, size and formatting of text;
• in case of variable images, the Excel spreadsheet must contain a column dedicated to name of image file (for example: image01.jpg); in this case we also need to be sent a folder with all the images, named as in the spreadsheet.
