Types of Accessories: - Holders - Lanyards - Reels and clips Services: Printing In order for a plastic card to have the necessary functionality, it should have a permanently printed image on it, which helps to identify its purpose, specific usage characteristics, card issuer and others. The blank (white) plastics hamper the efficient use of a card. To select how to print an image on a card, one should know what its main purpose will be – bank or club card, access control to rooms or computer programs, electronic signature, health card, bonuses or discounts, telephone services and a lot of other applications. Regardless of the selected printing technology, the cards should comply with the international standards which define all card functions, starting from the card size, physical characteristics of the plastic (surface quality, thermostability, electromagnetic compatibility, UV and X-ray resistance, electrostatic characteristics) and finally, the type of information written on the card. Types of printing: - Industrial printing (offset printing) - Card printers (retransfer or direct thermotransfer) Personalization Very often the plastic cards have to be strictly identified via a number, name of the card owner and others.
